I'm thinking of spending about 1K on an LCD screen. My needs are as follows:
DVI port for the PC (needs to display pc full screen @ native res)
Preferably Picture in Picture for watching TV whilst on the pc
Quick response time for gaming
widescreen (obviously)
Connections for a DVD and Sky (preferably component)
Not too bothered about Hi-def yet as this is only a TV for the bedroom, and working for Sky has taught me that 2006 means 2008 - by which time I'll probably want a new TV by then anyway.
Is there any screen out there that will cater for all that? Is there a huge difference in picture quality in having 1366x768 pixels over 1280x768? Also, how good is Pixel plus and what do other manufacturers have in terms of a similar tech? Are Sharp the best make of LCD and how good are philips and LG? I've been looking at the LG RZ26LZ50, which seems to have all but the 1366 res, and the philips 26pf9946 (everything but component). I am patient so don't have to buy right away if you know of anything coming out soon. I've heard about a Toshiba and a Philips coming out next month. Hopefully they'll be what I need.
Questions over!
Thanks guys and girls
