LCD/ TV advice

I think I found the perfect thing...

Dell's LCD TV Displays

The 26" model has incredible contrast... 500:1 even tops all of Apple's offerings by almost 50%. I think thats the perfect thing, although I don't know if you can mount it...

Edit: you can mount it, with a sold-separately mounting kit.

I just did some more investigation, and it turns out that the Dell has VGA for the computer, as well as HDMI (probably audio-only version) and PC audio in.

Then for your other components: 2 Component, Composite, S-Video and Audio

The only downside I can see is the refresh time: 25ms.

Edit: turns out Dell lists their specs wrong. Its not a DVI-CE (HDMI) port, but rather a full DVI port.

Sounds like you got it all right, even the objection to Dell products

LCD/TV

Tell me, how does OS X look on a 1024x768 Resolution of something that big???

One of the other threads just brought this HP 23" LCD TV to my attention. Although it looks like that link won't work... just go into HP and search for f2304 23". It has a resolution of 1920x1200, which is quite a bit nicer than the Dell, but the price is also higher at $1,999.

That's not an LCD TV, it's an LCD monitor, hence the high resolution; there is a difference. The only way to watch TV on that thing is with external tuners that are able to hook up to one of the monitors inputs.

I am in a similar situation. I ordered my dual 2.5 and have no money left for the Apple 23" display. Dell is offering one with 3 year coverage for under 1500. Is it worth it? I have seen one in a hotel room (it was set up on the wall to watch TV while in the tub) but it was playing TV and not hooked to OS X. Has anyone seen these as monitors?
