S slowpc Baseband Member Messages 43 Sep 29, 2006 #1 Just finished building my computer and now would like a 24"wide screen monitor . I want to be able to watch TV on the computer too. Is it better to buy a monitor and get a tuner or by a TV that can hook up to the comp? Or doesn't it matter?

OP OP S slowpc Baseband Member Messages 43 Sep 29, 2006 #6 So the resolution on a lcd tv is not as great as a monitor? So I wouldn't be able to play my games at 768x1024?
