Title: New LCD TV/monitor
Post by: Ray on Feb 13, 2009, 10:59:48
I'm looking for a 20 -22in LCD Freeview TV for the bedroom that could also be used as a PC monitor, as that is where my spare PC lives, I'm very tempted by this Samsung (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/143850) model which seems to get good reviews and would fit the bill very well, does anyone have any experience of it.

I don't, Ray. The one thing which would put me off Samsung is that a lot of people have had problems with them if they have a Thomson Sky+ box.

Thanks, Rik, but that wouldn't be a problem for me as I would only be using the built in freeview digital, I've only got 1 Sky box and that's used on my main TV, I wouldn't want to pay Murdoch for an additional one as it wouldn't get used very much.  ;)

I know what you mean, Ray. The bedroom TV seems to serve only to gather dust. :)

This is true, Rik, but they are useful for watching late night programmes, at least if you fall asleep watching it you are in the right place.  :)  ::)

In that case, I should probably go to bed around 8pm. ;)

I can sympathise with that, Rik, I suffer from the same affliction.  ;)

We got one of these (http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/506427/LG-19LG3000) a little while back and I'm still impressed with it. I hook it up to my laptop using a HDMI cable and get good results. I know LG do various sizes in the 3000 range including a 22 inch model.
