in what respect?

oldy worldy TV's don't work with PC's

oldy worldy PC monitors ain't TV sets

new LCD screens with both boards can be used for either thing.

TV's have a tv tuner, usually - and less resolution ( pixels ) - and are usually bigger area

LCD TV's can be up to 1900x1200 which is full HD and works out as 16x10 to allow for overscan

actually more like

nobody with an IQ of more than 9 is gonna buy an oldy wordly TV set.

current fav models Panasonic 32 in LCD TV with built in hd free thingy there's smaller ones from samsung which are good value and the sony bravia is also very nice but needs abit more dough.

the best thing is to see all the screens side by side and make a choice from there as each picture is slightly different to look at.

or I've got a really nice Phillips 20inch TV for sale "state of the art!" circa 1976 it's about 30ish years old and could be yours for say....£500.00

go on you know it makes sense

HDMI Flatty

Go for a HD flatscreen. Then you have a good sized pc monitor, tv, and you can plug the ps3 into the hdmi input. Not much difference in price either.

Obviously the ps3 is for any visiting children .......
