Has anybody tried using their LCD computer monitor as a dual-purpose HDTV/computer monitor?
I saw a Samsung 2693HM at CompuLink. It's 1920x1200 so it's capable of full-HD, and the 26" size seems acceptable as a TV in my bedroom. I know that for a little bit more I can buy a 32" LCD HDTV, but I like to have a high-res monitor for my computer since I'm used to looking at my old 22" LCD monitor. Then I saw a better looking 26" LCD monitor also from Samsung, the T260HD.
I'm thinking of connecting a computer via DVI, then an upsampling DVD player via HDMI.
Is it a good idea? The main plan down the road is to get either a 42" Plasma or Projector for the living room, so a smaller one for the bedroom would be nice. I'm still getting at least a 22" LCD monitor for my computer anyway so I thought maybe I could save by hitting 2 birds with one stone.
