New HDTV

srdb20

Lads,

Im thinking of getting either one of these http://www.komplett.ie/k/kcp.asp?sku=319634&sku=323270

Just wondering are they future proof with regards to HDTV.

Are HDMI inputs better than HDCP?

Will i encounter any problems with either of these using it as a monitor for my pc or when its connected to my 360.

Does anyone here have either of these screens, if so whats the general opinion of them?

I use a DVI connection on my PC, would i be able to use a dvi to vga connection or can someone reccommend me a different screen with the same specs or better for the same price.

Cheers lads, sorry about the length of the post!!!

You should have no problems with it, will accept PS3/360/HD-DVD/Blu-Ray/ Sky HD and any other HD signals I can think of.

HDMI is a type of connection. HDCP is a copy protection that is used over HDMI ports.

You can use a DVI to HDMI or a DVI to VGA adapter to connect to the panel.

Might want to wait and see what other people come up with, I don't really keep up to date with the latest deals any more.
