When i say backlit every LCD/LED tv has this setting ? Wait do you need a tv to use it as both tv and pc monitor sorry for the confusion.Your budget?

ok,this has a CCFL backlight,is it ok to use it without worrying about eye strain?
and when compared to Samsung 22ES5000,
1)its not full hd,so will i have any resolution problem wheni connect it to pc?
2)it doesnt support all media formats like samsung model
3)refresh rate is more in samsung than sony
i mainly use it for browsing and movies

brought the samsung model a week back,its wonderful,no eye burning issue with the backlight option which was not there in philips 22PFL4556,the pic quality is excellent,it supports 2tb hd,plays all video format,really happy with it. Thank you for helping me out :razz:

also can i improve the pic quality by adding graphics card with hdmi connection? at present im using vga cable.

Yes,Connecting through HDMI does improve PQ.but you don't need a GPU to improve PQ as tv is having dedicated picture processing engine.

im using it for desktop and it doesnt have hdmi port,
sys config= Intel pentium D Processor,3.40ghz,1gb ram,Intel 82945g express chipset,inbuilt graphics= 128 mb
is this config ok,or do i need to put graphics card(with hdmi) to improve the PQ.
if yes then which Graphic card should i use,i just need it for watching movies and i dont play games.

Yes, your motherboard has a Pci express slot but to be sure take your cpu with you when buying GPU.how much you are willing to spend on gpu?
