Is this a good idea? Using a 15 inch LCD monitor as a TV?

[DotheDamnTHing]

Im planning on using this lcd monitor as a television. Consequently, I have two questions:

1) Is the 30ms response time going to negatively affect picture quality? Ghosting, blurring etc?

2) What is a good recommendation for a lcd tv tuner box? The monitor's max resolution is 1024X768, so I was looking at the Viewsonic N4


Thanks

try playing a dvd on it, see if you thing its good enough. Or, play a good game with it. I know that the cheap 15 lcd I had wasnt that great for games, tv should be about the same


Im trying to find info on doing it the other way around. Get a big screen LCD (32") and plug a computer in it. Searching for info on that. I saw one that had 8ms responce time, so gaming shouldnt be an issue. Text could (too small).

Unfortunately, I do not have the LCD in my possession right now.

Anyone?

I have that exact model. And it looks great. Only thing is the viewing angle isnt as good as the larger/newer models.
