this is the new pc that I will be putting together in hopes of watching/recording ota hi def programming...... Windows 7 Home Premium Windows Media Center Intel Core i5 3570k MSI 277A-G41 LGA 1155 motherboard NVIDIA GeForce 660 TI 2gb video card Kingston 8 gb DDR3-1600mhz ram 1TB SATA hard drive 7200 rpm Hauppauge 2250 dual tv tuner card Pioneer bdr2209 blu ray burner I will be connecting a ViewSonic VG2236wm 1080p LED monitor via dvi. Will this setup allow me to watch the hi def programing just like a tv?
Comp hardware is good to go only issue i'd be concerned about is the dvi on the monitor assuming it's missing pins link below is better explanation,personally i'd go for DP first then hdmi on a monitor only other concern i'd have is whether a hd monitor compared to a hd tv would be same as which would be good or lesser which not so good,i'm talking vibrancy of colours etc,i'd need to go to a mega store & see tv's & monitors in action & compare them,maybe someone else can answer http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/32524/whats-the-difference-between-hdmi-and-dvi-which-is-better/
