I run a hybrid computer that I built and it boots in MacOS Lion and Windows 7. The monitor that I was looking at yesterday was a Samsung 40" LED. I would like to know if anyone here has any experience using larger monitors with a computer and what their thoughts are. Any advice would be helpful. Keep in mind that I will be sitting approximately 2' to 3' from the monitor. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I would like to know if anyone here has any experience using larger monitors with a computer and what their thoughts are. Any advice would be helpful. Keep in mind that I will be sitting approximately 2' to 3' from the monitor. Thanks There is two types of LARGE screens used for computing: -The big screen TVs of various kinds (LED-backlit, CCFL-lit, and plasma) running at 720P and 1080P resolutions -The larger COMPUTER MONITORS of more than 24" in size, with different resolutions...1080P or ABOVE... Graphics-wize, a single 40" LCD TV at 1080P, for example, requires the SAME videocard effort as a 24" 1080P monitor would....because it's the same amount of pixels but the pixels are gonna be bigger...that's all..so distance is paramount, or you'll see blurr a little... The large computer monitors, such as a 27" or a 30" running resolution better than 1080P (2560 X 1440 or 2560 X 1600) require MORE POWER, because there is actually more pixel being displayed...so you'll need more graphics card power (with larger video RAM count) to push that higher rez...or you'll have to drop on the details....BUT, it's where it's at if you're looking at max-eye candy...those monitors are expensive and cost $600+ the DELL ultrasharp-series are the best in that regard.... So the morale of the story is: RESOLUTION is what's matter, not SIZE... big-screen TV = quick fix but same resolution and affordable Big computer monitor (resolution ABOVE 1080P)= $$$ + sometimes a graphics card upgrade needed $$$, but MAX visual glory/quality...
