LCD displays have slowly but steadily taken over from CRT displays over the past few years. They are a lot thinner and consume less energy. One more thing that has made LCD displays popular is their versatility. They can be used as a TV as well as a monitor for your computer. This ability makes them extremely advantageous if you happen to have a space or budget constrain. Most LCD TV’s have HDMI and DVI ports through which you can connect to your computer. The HDMI port can also be connected to a DVD player or even the latest gaming consoles.
In case your LCD TV doesn’t have a HDMI port you can use the composite cable port to connect to your cable set top box system. With a TV you could keep your PC and other devices connected. Whenever you want to use them, all you need to do is select the port that are present via the TV remote. So this way there is no need to keep removing or connecting wires every time you want to use a particular device.
When buying a TV that is also going to be used as a computer monitor, you should know that something too large may not be what you want. Ideally a 25 inch TV would be perfect as it won’t be too expensive and it would be pretty functional as well. The 26 inch LCD TV’s from Samsung are the best ones you can get and they all support full HD which means you can even play your favorite games in full 1080p glory!
Get smart and get yourself a TV that doubles as a computer monitor as well!
