I've got two LG HD monitor tv's (needs Freeview or satelitte
receiver connected to get tv).
The picture is stunning,I've got a FreeVIEW and a FreeSAT receiver
connected and my PC as well.
They cost just under £200 delivered from Saverstore .com.
720p but picture looks like 1080p.Only 1 HDMI con though but
2 scarts.
HD reception is exceptional.

Still need to know if 1080p is best in my usage
scenario

you might have more luck looking for a computer monitor that has tv
inputs? - assuming you have a tuner of some sort to connect to it.

On a screen that small you are not going to notice a difference between
1080i and 1080p (and 720p). Also, you should know that 1080p is only
available with Blu-Ray players, game systems and a few satellite VOD
offerings (both DISH Network and DirecTV). There are NO TV channels that
are in 1080p from ANY vendor.




he's talking about use as a monitor - 1080p would make a difference there.
plus, 1080p is needed to view 1080i at it's best.

How small?

Looking at NewEgg, I found this one (24" 1920 x 1080):

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16889160017

If you go to a smaller screen size, there should be even less reason
to need 1080p.

Christ, just get a 22" monitor and put a tuner in the PC. $250 max. If
you shop around you can do it for less than $200.

The 22" LG I mentioned earlier has another model with a digital tuner
integral.I'm talking about the UK though,I don't know if the digi tuner
will work in the States.
Does anyone know if it will? (out of interest).

Here's the link to the model with built in freeVIEW.
It also has a 3 yr guarantee.

Yes, VIZIO 22":

The 22" Vizio works fine as an HDTV and PC monitor, after much
experimenting since the manual is inaccurate. I have it set to
1680x1050 on an HDMI-DVI cable from a Radeon video card. VGA did work
but not as well. The Vizio has to be on and set to HDMI before booting
the PC, otherwise the Radeon doesn't recognize it. Likewise it stops
working after being switched to TV. "Lock Web Items" in the XP display
setup makes the background image fill the screen, don't ask me why.

At arm's length I see quite a difference between 1080 and 720. In the
store the Vizio's picture quality was about as good as the larger
sets.

I recently posted this:

Their new 22" just got a near-rave review in the U.S. mag, "PC
Magazine." http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2333556,00.asp

I keep an eye on such things & Ive never seen a 22 or 23" HDTV that
was 1080p IIRC. Cant even recall a 26", & there are few 32".

No, the digital tuners in UK models will not work in the U.S. There is
also the power issue. The U.S. uses 120 volt 60 hertz. Some TVs have
"universal" power supplies that allow the TV to be used on different
power systems some don't.

Maybe not the digital tuner but most UK TV's now accept 100-120v and
200-230v and their respective 50 or 60hz frequency.

The Samsung T240HD 24" is available at 1920x1080 but it doesn't pop up
on their website under LCD televisions; Vizio, a smaller player in the
market, has a 22" and 24" in that resolution. For TV, the Vizio (I
have one of the slightly older model, 1680x1050) has one major
problem; it cannot ADD digital channels and rescanning erases the
"skip" list. I'm told that Samsung has that issue correct.

Costco sells (or did last month) this unit. It's beautiful there. The
internet says it has poor sound from its internal speakers, likely
from its monitor heritage.

What resolution do you currently use on your monitor, and what can your
video card supply? If your computer is newer, you probably do want an
1920x1080 monitor.

Be warned, some TVs do not support full resolution through the VGA
connector. To be sure you get full resolution, count using a PC video card
with an HDMI output. If this isn't available, check the TV manual before
you buy for the maximum supported PC resolution.

They also sell a 24" version. I have both (T240HD and
the T260HD) and they suit my needs perfectly. Samsung
also sells the T200HD and T220HD which are the same except
with a 1680x1050 resolution. Any one of them would likely
make you perfectly happy.

The 22" Vizio I bought last month has an "Add On Ch Search", which I
used several times after rotating the antenna.

Good: With the backlight off, it draws only 27W.
Bad: INFO shows only the current program. The zoom, PIP etc functions
on the remote are "not available".

I agree with Picture Quality as a TV ... VERRRRRY little difference on
a 50", less on 22" or 24" ... but I PERSONALLY very much prefer
1920x1200 over 1680x1050 for a computer monitor. AND some graphics

1280x1024 and it stretches it out ... I don't like it, he does.

It is a matter of taste and computer capabilities.

I found the opposite, the diffence in tv progs (HD) was much more
pronounced on my 22" set as opposed to my 42" and yet my 22" is only
720p and the 42" is 1080p.....work that out!....very strange.

That's why I may have to do as Wes says and just get a
monitor and use card in the computer itself
