Im a newbe and I've searched and searched and haven't found any info. What I'm wanting to do is connect my PC though the DVI connector to this TV:

Advent HT3061A
http://www.adventtv.com/3061adetail.htm

My main concern before purchasing the TV is what kind of quality will I get out of the TV. Can I run 1088x612 or higher resolution? Will the picture be sharp basically looking like a large HD computer monitor? This set up will be my everything TV (I run digital cable through my PC), DVD Player, Computer Monitor so on and so forth. The reason I picked this monitor is because it's with in my price range and it has the DVI connection... ideally I would like a flat panel plasma but it's not in my price range.

And a quck off shoot I just foun this page:

If I do get this TV what should I set the resolution at once the TV is hooked up to my PC as a monitor? Should it be 1920x1080? Should I keep the Color quality at 32 and how many hertz for the refresh rate?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Mutinyclothing, welcome to the PC Help Forum.

I would first like to apologise that it has taken someone this long to respond to your query.

Second on the agenda, is to answer your question.
To sum it all up in one simple paragraph.

Don't bother. A TV (Even HDTV) is going to be lesser quality then an LCD...something that is designed specifically for computers. I have a 24" wide screen monitor that is the best screen i have ever seen (and my parents own a plasma screen). The vibrancy, and resolution is outstanding. It also supports HDTV inputs...so i can turn it into a HDTV - which i believe would be the better option - have a monitor that can double as a TV, not the other way around.

I hope this clears this up (if you read this post) and if you need any further information please don't hesitate to ask.
