Re: What a 26" flat pannel TV could be used as a monitor with a DVI output of a computer?

There is no technical reason that a PC cannot be used with an HDMI/DVI
interface since the HDTV has no idea where the video is coming from, There
are however two problem first the number of resolutions receivable by an
HDTV over HDMI/DVI is limited and secondly almost all HDTVs overscan their
HDMI/DVI input since they assume it is TV video.
You can either get a unit which also has a VGA interface since they do not
overscan the VGA input since they assume it is from a PC. You will not
suffer any degradation in resolution using VGA and you may not even notice a
possible slight degradation in video color quality.
I know of not flat panel from the vendors you listed that provide a way not
to overscan their HDMI/DVI inputs. AFAIK then Westinghouse family of HD
monitors are the only flat panels that give you control of overscanning.

Hello!
What Panasonic, Toshiba, Samsung, Sharp or any other 26" flat pannel TV
could be used as a monitor with a DVI output of a computer with the
same resolution as the native resolution of the TV matrix? Should the
computer resolution be the same as the native resolution of the TV
matrix for a small text being shown clear?
All 26" flat pannel TV manuals with I read indicate that TV's DVI or
HDMI input cannot be used with a computer and a computer video
resolution could not be the same as the native resolution of the TV
matrix, therefore a scaling is required. The scaling makes small text
unclear.
