Hello,
At the moment I am using my desktop as a monitor and have a TV tuner for it to watch TV on. However, I am selling it and getting a laptop instead. I want to hook up an external monitor to this laptop, so it needs to to have a DVI connection. I also have a wall socket aerial for TV (sorry, don't know what you call it) so it also needs to have a socket for that.
I would like something bigger than my current 20" screen, so 22 or 24 would be nice and would like it to be HD ready (a connection for a PVR would be nice, too (I assume this would use the line in from the wall, and then connect the line out to the TV?)).
I know people used to say you can't have both a TV and a monitor - but that was several years ago and I assume there are now legitimate options for this.
My budget isn't massive so am looking for a relatively cheap option (around £200) which could handle these options. Is it possible or am I just dreaming?
Edit: Oh yes, I forgot, I also plan to hook up my PS3 to it.
Thanks for the help!
