Using a 37 Inch Lcd as my computer screen
 

Good idea or bad idea ?

good idea ;)

Thanks Pete :thumbsup

Where you been ? Are you coming down to the CA show ?

Bigger the better applies to computer screens...I'm using a 28"

Won't it burn ?

That's an expensive monitor..would be pretty cool though

Nice :thumbsup

Possible but i have seen a couple of set up with the same size screens and they have had no issues. :)

doesn't sound big enough ;)

bad idea.. it's not the size, it's the pixels.

Another Gfyer has the same set up he goes by huggles. He posted some pics about a week ago and he said it was crisp.
1800 for the lcd
2000 for the comp

:thumbsup

damn, I think that would be too much room. Too much scrolling and shit I would have to do.

With more than 2 million pixels, this state-of-the-art 1920 x 1080 progressive scan LCD display brings you the ultimate in digital video. A full range of inputs, including 2 DVI with HDCP connectors, lets you connect to a PC and the latest multimedia video sources. External tuner required for TV viewing.


Enough Pixels ??? :thumbsup

Well not to much for work i got dual 19 at the office. This is for my room mostly to watch tv, chat on icq, check stats and emergencys at 4am :)

congrats! You can now jerk off to a much larger photo of Sunny Lenone than the rest of us :thumbsup

Yes i do love my porn. :thumbsup

pics would be nice

OT: do you have ICQ? Follow up to our email correspondence

It would blind you. Just get 2 20s or 2 23s

Anything less than 50" is undignified. LOL, if its LCD or plasma, it should be pretty damn cool :)

Baaaad idea.

Great idea and like you said it's just for your room so it's not like you would be on it all the time for your use you shouldn't have to worry about burn in or eye strain.

Baddog, I did send you a response. Perhaps it was filtered or something.

I am hitting you up on ICQ now :thumbsup

Television LCDs will not have a sufficient resolution for computer output
Some higher end sets that do HD are a possibility. Look for something with DVI or HDMI input


I have two 20" LCDs set up and I find it sufficient. There are also some nice 24" models

37" diagonal with that kind resolution would it not feel just like 800x600 on 15"?

can do you split screen as if you worked on two or more LCDs? I've got a triple lcd system in place and it would be nice to replace with 1 big monitor, but I sitll like to keep maximized applications in 3 different screens. will this work?

How do you figure?
Native/Optimum Resolution 1920 x 1080
16.7 Million colors

Compatible Modes
NTSC - 480i
HD Ready - 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p
PC - 1920 x 1080, 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768

and a contrast of 1000:1

this is really impressing! :D
which brand and model? i want to buy it myself... ;)

Thanks, I'm hooking up to my 53" Big Screen :thumbsup

True back to the drawing board :(

I will know tommorrow when i pick it up. But for work 10 hours a day i perfer my duel 19 at the office :thumbsup

Krosh my brother i like the way you think :winkwink:

I just got back from Hookah why didnt you come down ?

Check it out

Best buy has it for $1900 :thumbsup

how far are you positioning it from your eyes?

24-30 inches away

maybe even sit across the room :)

I use (irregularly now) a 42" Plasma but got owned by BURN-IN. :disgust

my own damn fault for leaving the taskbar/browserbar showing all day. :1orglaugh

now I use an array of 15" LCDs full-time, only the plasma part-time, but let me know how the 37" works out for you cause I'd like to move up to it.

a buddy of mine has a $5000 sharp LCOS LCD which he uses for computer stuff....i don't know if he needs a better video card or what but it looks worse than my 17" sony LCD for computer apps....

Thats gotta hurt :( Sorry to hear about the burn. As for the 37 inch there is a gfyer that got the same model i am going to purchase tommorrow he said it is bad ass. Plus i showed it to my tech guy and he said its bad ass 2. I should have it up in about a week im ordering the dell desktop tonight and picking up the moniter tommorrow. I will keep you posted :thumbsup

i figure for the monitor that big having 1920x1080 might be a good for TV or as a presentation monitor but if you gonna work on it you might end up feeling like you're back in time on 800x600..

now if 1920x1080 was doubled up that would be a kickass res :)
but thats just me using 1600x1024 on 19" isn't enough, its like 1024x768 on 17"
