Hi guys..

There are two questions:

1) My dad is planning to buy a 32" LCD TV..
I wanted to know whether I can connect that LCD TV to my computer using the GFX card's DVI output..??

2) Can a LCD monitor produce good picture ( which includes videos also) like CRT ? If so can anyone recommend a model within 15K.. I need it for Gaming purposes also..

I am waiting for answer buddy!!!

Yes u can connect provided if you have the necessary connectors on ur TV . Check the TV's back panel for connectivity options , Mind you that If its a half HD monitor (or HD Ready) ... the resolution supported is 1366*768 .. and on 32" It'll just look huge and not that great , I've tried all this and also on a Full HD (1920*1024) and the latter does suit very nicely ! Also do check the pixel burn-in effect time and the refresh rates at high resolutions ! And keep yourself atleast 3 feet from it (atleast my eyes start wattering) !
