This may be wandering out of scope for MediaPortal's forums, but can anyone give advice about choosing an LCD tv to go with my shiny new MP HTPC ?
For example, I like the look of the Samsung 26" LE26R74BDX, but this tv has only a "PC D-sub" connection. I presume this is just a standard monitor connection, whereas my PC's graphics card has a DVI output - but would I really be able to see the difference between the two?
Also, that tv has a native resolution of 1366 x 768 but my MP HTPC's desktop runs at 1280 x 1024. Does this matter or should I try to get a closer match between the two? I'd like to use the LCD for both HTPC and surfing/email etc.
