[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14978"] Hello folks.... I have sold my old monitor (tv) and am getting a new one, and wanted to share some ideas and see what some of you folks may think. I use my htpc for TV, movies, etc and gaming, and ocassional web surfing. I have an existing set up that works fine (I am ONLY changings monitors....). My video card is a ATI AIW 9600 pro. My old monitor was a 42" plasma, and I connected directly into its RGB port, and it worked great..... I prefer a direct RGB connection as I had problems with DVI in the past (another tv) and dont like the quality loss with Composite. Well, I sold my old plasma, and am looking at a new tv, and want one with RGB in. I have found a few that are within my price range and have RGB in (again, I dont want to mess with DVI or any of the copy protected formats). I am trying to decide between: a pioneer 504cmx plasma, a mitsubisihi 52" dlp, or a Panasonic 50" lcd rptv. All have RGB in. A few have other features, but for this comparison, none of those matter to me. This device is to function as a monitor for my computer. I have experience with plasma, and am happy with it, but have to admit that the DLP and LCD look good, and I would not have to mail order them to fit my budget (the plasma would be mail order at my price point). Both of the RPTV's (DLP and LCD) have a native res of 1280x720. My question is: Does anyone have any expereicne on using either a DLP or LCD RPTV as a PC monitor via RGB (i.e monitor cable)? How did you like it? Did it scale well at different resolutions (like for gaming)? I am aware of some of the other advantages these platforms (DLP LCD) offer over plasma (price, burn in, etc) but do not have any direct experience with them overall as a computer monitor. thanks dave [/QUOTE]
