adolf hamster Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 i have a multi monitor that i use for my pc and ps3, i think it was from argos it i has a component input, monitor input as well as a socket for an areial, rgb and a scart so you could hook up a freeview box to it, i'll see if i can find out what its called, it has kishu written on the front, cheap as chips but it accepts hd up to 1080i and looks ace on cod4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y0k0 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 In my opinion 1080p is a waste on such a small monitor and will be hardly much difference to 720p ( which most xbox 360 games are ) Obviously the die hards will tell you to get a 1080p and nothing else! and if you were on about a larger a tv I'd say the same to be fair. You'll be lucky to find a good 22inch monitor/tv with hdmi, scart, and pc connections for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoclick Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Thanks for the replies. Basically I have no need for HDMI or Scart connections, just need VGA. My 360 is an oldey with no HDMI so will be connected via VGA. Laptop will also be connected via VGA and since il be watching TV through it, i wont need a freeview box hence scart is also pointless. Il just connect each one up when im using them. Resolution, didnt think there was any point in going to 1080p. Was considering increasing my budget for one because unlike TV's where normally getting a 1080p at normal viewing distances is pointless, with this screen you will be sitting a lot closer. But if the difference is still marginal, theres no point! Any recommendations on makes/stats/places to buy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoclick Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Can people give their opinions on this monitor: http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quick...efinement=11002 Great contrast ratio/response time/connectivity and am i right in saying all samsung monitors come with 3-year warranty? Is this an old screen because it seems very cheap for what its capable of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
