What 1080p TV/Monitors actually exist with 1080 resolution?

whoa...
Wouldn't anything measuring 30+, that supports 1080p will have mega
inputs?

Sure they are. Hook a monitor to a tuner and watch Tv and it's a TV
monitor. Hook the same monitor to a computer and it's a computer monitor.
They're all just plain monitors unless they have a built in tuner, Then
they're TV's. Still not much difference.

Very few TV monitors accept Computer inputs.

All will accept computer inputs.

All? That covers a lot.

Unless you are talking about monitors with DVI or VGA inputs, basic TV
monitors have analog inputs (S-Video, Component Video, and/or Composite
Video). Most computers need a special graphics card or an adapter to
convert the signal to the basic analog format.

Only one of the dozen or so computer monitors I have owned will accept a TV
input (coming out of a VCR, cable box, or satellite box) out of the box. A
converter would be needed to convert S-Video or Composite to VGA. The one
monitor that did was an old Zenith CGA monitor that had a composite input
and an obsolete CGA input.


The number of exceptions is increasing, but in general computer monitors
and TV monitors are different.

There is no exception. There is no difference in the monitor itself.

The monitors differ in the screen resolution, the phosphor or pixel size,
the vertical and horizontal frequencies. They are not all the same!

You
can use any Tv for a computer monitor and you can use any computer monitor
as a TV.

Using a TV for a computer monitor will limit you to VGA 640x480
resolutions, hardly what most people want to see.

it's that simple. Simply send the proper signal. Let's see, I've
used an old 1980 B&W Tv as a computer monitor, along with a host of color
tv's. Right now I watch TV on computer monitors in 2 rooms. Adapter have
been out since the 70's.

Adapters are necessary because computer monitors and TV monitors are not
the same thing!

Nope.

This is a 30" LCD with native resolution of 2560x1600 and its only input
is DVI.

http://www.sharpusa.com/products/Mod...8,1412,00.html

This is a 45" LCD TV with 1920x1080 native resolution, and although it has
a VGA input, that input only supports a maximum of 1280x1024.

I'm interested in true 1080p TV's as I want to hook the TV up to an
entertainment PC and use it at 1080 * 1920 (I presume it's 1920?)
resolution, so I don't want interlaced, and I don't want something
that's not really 1080 resolution.

Does anything exist in this format with a real resolution of 1080 for
computer usage in addition to TV?

I won't research a list of brands and models, but 1920x1080 is rapidly
becoming widely available in all fixed-pixel formats: DLP, LCD/LCDoS rear
projectors, and LCD/plasma panels. They do provide a definite and
easily-seen increase in clarity, smoothness, and sharpness compared to 720p
(or therabouts) displays, or to 1080i CRTs.
