With my birthday a couple of months round the corner im planning ahead as to what to get myself.
Having had a look on ebay iv found several half decent HDTVs going for what i consider quite cheap (<£300). The only problem is iv never really looked into HDTVs so i dont really know what to get, LCD vs plasma, resolution that would be suitable, connectability etc.
It would be used mainly for films ran off my PC(standard def, 720p, 1080p), general TV watching and sometimes as a 3rd monitor. I dont watch any sport (i heard that one type of TV was better for this) and like i said 80% of its usage will be films from my PC. Ideally id like a TV round 37", from looking in stores this seems to be a decent size for a medium sized room. I also think i want 1080p, but just because i like the idea of running fullHD off it when i get around to getting a blu ray player etc in the future.
As im already running dual monitors, how would i connect this up to PC? Would i need to get a motherboard that cold handle dual graphics card and get a second graphics card with HDMI out? Is that even possible?
And finally, what sort of TV would be better plasma or LCD? Any brands/series to avoid?
Big thank you in advance guys
(Had a look around hexus and couldnt find a forum to put this in, audio/visual forum gets a post every few days and i see posting it in there as a matter of waiting a week before i get much advice!)
