Does anyone use a 32" LCD TV as a computer monitor?

[jmowreader]

If so, what resolution are you getting? I need a larger monitor, but one that can display the text in the same size as my little one--I want to see MORE stuff, not the same stuff but bigger.

1. I use a 36" LCD TV to surf the Web with a Playstation at blu-ray res.

It's not easy to read from across the room, but I can see how it would make a good monitor at 2' or 3' distance.

2. no, but I've been nekkid in a crowd

twelve is the answer

:silly:

3. I guess it will work with the higher resolution TV's they have now.

WEB TV Sucked though.

4. I'm using a 28-in as a monitor. I set it 150% fonts at 1920x1080

5. I have a 26" LCD TV set up as a secondary monitor for watching mvies and shit, but...

And LCD TV of that size (and 32") will generally be 720P, which means you're probably not gonna get the same resolution as say even a 22" or 24" monitor. At least not in my experience.

6. Ain't gonna happen-- the best you'll get is 1080P and...

bigger pixels, not more of them. 1980x1080 resolution is as high as they go until the next burst of LCD technology bursts through.

The aggravating thing is that some of the old CRT monitors had much higher resolutions-- I had a 20" one that went up to over 2500xsomething or other.

7. 1080P would be a must.

Even at 1080P, the pixels would be somewhat large and you'll have a lower DPI than a typical monitor. I used a 28" monitor (Hanns G) which had a 1920x1200 resolution and even at that size, I found things to be easier on my eyes with my old 24" CRT which supports up to 2560x1600.

8. I have a 27" iMac

I have it set at 2560 x 1440. Obviously that's different from linking to an actual TV, though

9. I am using a 24" monitor/TV 1080P quality by Samsung as my prime

We have a PC hooked up to the 32" in the living room, but to READ anything from the couch you have to make resolution 1280x1024. We use it for on-line gaming and Netflix streaming.

10. Using a 32" Nikai right now... was cheaper than a monitor and I use it as TV as well

in the bedroom.

11. I bought a 32" Dynex at Best Buy this weekend for the bedroom and it works fine

as a monitor as well using an 8 year old pc. I can read things just fine from about 5 feet away.

12. Exactly, they are VERY large and it takes a little getting used to... but once you do

they are pretty awesome.

13. I am running is 1360x768 Mode on Ubuntu 10.4

No problems at all.

14. I have a 24" Acer widescreen that I'm using at full 1080p.

I'm personally looking to get a Vizio 42" monitor that I will use almost exclusively as a computer monitor.
