I wanted to buy a HD tv and a new computer for my room, and have just had the idea of combining them together. I was thinking of buying a PC with a BluRay burner and player and then buying a HD computer monitor like: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-055-LG Because i am not that computer intelligent, i wonder if you could help me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Okay.....so the computor monitor i am thinking of getting has a Digital Tv Tuner so i will be able to watch TV on it. It also has an S-video on it so i can play my PS2 through it (will it look any good?) Now to my question, 1) If i play a BluRay DVD in the PC, will it come out in HD on the monitor. I dont have any knowledge on connecting HD monitors up to PCs, ie, is the output on the computer HD? What HD cable connects to a PC and moitor? thanks for the help
for that monitor you linked us, you can use VGA connectors, which is very common for computers. but i also want to note that if your getting a computer to play blu-ray movies, you will need a really good video card, not some of those crappy ones that usually come with prebuilt computers. do you plan on building a pc? or buying a prebuilt one?
Firstly, thank you so much for your help. I was planning on buying a pc because i'm not that well read on building ones. The ones i was looking at had the 512MB ATI® Radeon® 3870 in them. But the problem i don't understand is what output socket i need in the back of the pc to use HD. The only output socket i know of that can stream HD is HDMI socket, but i can't find any pcs with this. Thanks for your help, i really want to use the pc to watch BluRay movies, but unless i fully understand how to get full HD out of the pc and onto my screen i won't buy anything.
okay, i think i understand this. So if i get like a pc from Dell with the graphics cards 'SINGLE 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT card' and the pc has a DVI port, i will be able to connect it up to the TV i posted earlier with a DVI-HDMI cable right? and then watch HD movies from the bluray player in the pc?
im not 100% sure if it will be HD quality, but essentially it will be if you set the resolution to 1680 x 1050
so is the 'dot pitch' the best way of knowing how good the quality will come out on a monitor. Because i was looking at 2 monitors: http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw...ormationSection http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw...ormationSection One says that is is Hd and the other says it isn't. However, to 'dot pitch' is the same for both, so does this mean they can both display the same picture quality? The same goes for these 2 Dell monitors: http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/produ...&sku=130004 http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/produ...1&sku=88221 The first one is has a jazzy information page saying that it is HD and good to watch bluray on, yet the otherone has none of this despite both of them having the same resolution (1680 x 1050) and dot pitch (0.282). I'm so confused...can anyone shed any light on this?
