    It depends on the image its self. If the image is 1680 pixels wide and 1050 high then it will be downscaled on the TV. But quality isnt going to be exceptionaly poor, it should be grand.

    I connect a laptop to a 32" HDTV and its grand for general use. Spreadsheets look a bit blury, Websites are viewable. And movies are grand

    1360 x 768 is a fairly low res for computer work. On-screen images? well...you'll see less of them / they'll appear bigger.

    I'm sure I've misinterpreted that. If they appear bigger, how would I see less of them? :confused:

    At the lower resolution graphics will appear larger so for example a webpage would h ave to be scrolled though to read it many more times than on a bigger 1680x1050 display or images would have to be scaled to fit, I think you get the idea.

    Is it convenience or space reasons your going for a TV/computer display setup ?

    I'm just considering different options at the mo', so was considering that TV as it might be convenient to have just one screen which can be used for the PC and also for the TV.

    Wouldn't take up and much space and would be overall cheaper. That TV also only uses 100W which is quite low for a TV.

    I sent an e-mail about the TV and whether it was able to adjust the resolution to be used with a PC and they informed me

    "Yes, there is a setting on the menu screen for using a pc. As well as a pc input slot."

    I think they mean the "RGB Pc Input" which the TV has.

    I wonder what the setting on the menu screen does though? I wonder if this maybe adjusts it so as images are not distorted when being used as a PC monitor?

    It should be possible to run Windows in the TV's native resoluition.

    I'm familiar with Samsung HDTV's so basically the VGA works out like this;

    800x600, 1024x768, 1360x768 in Windows are the available resolutions.

    When using VGA it has an auto adjust for pixel mapping so it fills the entire screen with the set resolution, this is not present on the digital inputs like HDMI.

    To run at native 1366x768 you can only use the HDMI input by setting a custom resolution in your graphics cards control panel.

    If you can't get that specific HDTV you can get the black version on OcUK for €580 or a similar one for €549 on Komplett.
