Heres a topic where I asked about it (has a link in it to yahoo), I don't know if they are being picky over perfection on a screen or if it really is blurry and bad quality up close.


If anyone can help me with this then I would appreciate it a lot.

You're not going to get good fps, I advise against using an lcd tv.

EVGA Geforce 9800GT Superclocked Video Card on 1366x868.

And I may get a GTX295 some time next year when its cheaper and if I need it.

Edit: copy/paste my specs

My New Computer: (In 2 weeks)
Case: Cooler Master Cosmos S
CPU: Intel i7 920 Quad Core (Easy to OC to 4.2ghz)
Motherboard: EVGA x58
RAM/Memory: G.Skill 6GB DDR3-1600Mhz
Graphic Card: EVGA Geforce 9800GT Superclocked
Harddrive: Western Digital 640GB 32MB
Power Supply: Corsair 750W
Total Cost: $2000 CA

A 9800GT is more than enough for that low resolution. You shouldn't have any problems, so long as the game supports the resolution. Hell--save money and don't get some crappy GeForce... a Radeon HD 4670 would be plenty for your setup.

I already have the 9800GT, its sitting on my desk beside me while i'm typing this and I should have the rest of my computer coming in the mail in about a week.

When the GTX295 is about $200 or less then I may get it, if I need extra graphic power for new games in 2010

The topic is about the screen/picture quality being acceptable for having such a TV, everybody wants me to spend twice as much for 1080p.

Don't expect that many more GTX295's. They were a limited-run from nVidia. Doesn't make sense to me either, but oh well.

I wouldn't suggest a TV as a primary monitor, but as a secondary one, for sure. I looked at getting a 32" LCD in my bedroom for a second monitor for my MacBook, to watch movies and picture slideshows. I'd never use it as a primary monitor, though. The clarity just isn't there. I've used them as primary monitors before (32" 720p as a desktop monitor) and we ended up returning it. Quality wasn't quite there.

Get like a 24" monitor for gaming and detailed viewing and the 32" TV for movies and non-detailed viewing. Best of both worlds.

I got some great information from someone that I know on another website, I think that i'm done with this topic.

Ok. I don't know what you heard exactly, but yeah, your desktop will be rather low-resolution. If you're gaming, try to figure out a good way to have your room setup. If I was using a 32" LCD, I'd probably keep it 4' or so away from my head. You may want ot look to upgrading it in the future. The alternatives? Low-cost 19" and 20" 1680x1050 (16:10) panels or a 22" 1920x1080 panel (16:9).

Extermely small text and such is not good for the eyes, only good if your gaming and more convenient if the game sets your resolution to that automaticly.

Set the pixel pitch where it belongs then. Just watch out--that DPI slider can have negative effects on some games. I had one that scaled everything up depending on the pitch--meaning I was zoomed in on a game. Other than that, you can set text to be larger than "normal". And as it is, 1366x768 isn't particularly high resolution, especially for a 32" panel (which are just fine at 1920x1200).

I was never worried about having more space on the screen, just being a large screen is perfect.
