I want to ask a question about computer monitors

Post by Jbo » Tue Mar 08, 2005 3:46 am

I need to look for and find or that is Iwish I could find an affordable LARGE monitor to allow my ability to see better without preferably ANY toggling back and forth and to and fro. (am slightly near-sighted)

I see all these advertisements for plasma television with HD and I want to ask ; do they support a computer as monitor?
(probably not)
I think the only real option is several regular monitors which is why I opted to use a matrox for my daw I built but I am hoping the market will "cure"(as it already has some) on flat-screen monitors ..i am seeing the lowest prices yet... almost tolerable but not quite really when you consider the cost of screen real estate on a cathode is so affordable......

I think the only feasible choice is the apple super monitor;It is what I am afraid is actually the largest available monitor to use and I cannot expect any of these new large plasma screens to support my pc as a monitor like I wish or dream they might... and seeing DELL as one of the manufacturers naturally I am inwardly even more hope-filledthis would imply("computer") but not really as I know the true "way of the world" basically, is a real heart-breaker, and based on things other than the user's wishes where computers are concerned(& everything else too for that matter)

ThaNx for ANY REMARKS whatsoever on any of the subjects I touched upon

BUT I AM HERE ASKIN just in case someone might enlighten me and tell me "no, you are wrong" "this plasma screen does deliver support as a monitor "

I do not expect it, but please if anyone can tell me that I am incorrect PLEASE DO SO.


again thank you..& my best to fellow Live users -all

this is largerly dependant on your video adapter in your PC, if you shell out $100 for a decent card with DVI, S-vid & VGA outs there isn't much you can't use as a monitor; Plasma, LCD, CRT or TV
