Having a PC input<br>> doesn't instantly make a TV set sub standard in some way.<br>> <br>> The only thing you'll struggle with is aspect ratio. Unless your<br>> laptop has a widescreen display, you may find yourself with a strange<br>> sized desktop on your TV. That said, it's never been a major problem<br>> for me personally. Just play around with the resolution until you find<br>> one that suits both.<br>> <br>> Just buy the best model you can afford. If this is to be your main TV<br>> set as well, try and get one with a true HD panel.<br>> <br>> Cheers<br>> <br>> Marcus<br>> <br>> <br>> On 15 August 2011 19:14, Roger Gibson <rcgibson@talktalk.net> wrote:<br>> > I'm minded to buy an HD TV, now that digital has arrived in South Cheshire.<br>> > I could also do with a monitor in the same room to make working with a<br>> > laptop more congenial.
