-HD TV
I've been toying with the idea of getting a new computer to go with my LG 50" HDTV but I can't find any information in the manual regarding using it with a PC even though there is a PC connection on it. There is also the HDMI connections as well. The picture resolution for the 50" TV is 1366X768 but I have no idea what to expect when connected to a computer. I'm not very techy so I need to try and find out before I take the plunge. When I'm a bit more informed I'll post again. Sorry i've not been much help but keep an eye out for future posts.

Thanks for that Gary. I've knocked that idea on the head. Might treat myself to a nice 22" monitor sometime soon.

-Monitors
Thanks again Gary. Unfortunately I do not have a small fortune. Working in the security industry dosn't make you rich. I understand what your saying though as you get higher resolutions with a CRT monitor. I'd be lucky to have the room for the 29" never mind the three of them.

-You know I'm not sure three screens is the answer any more. For the price of three screens you can get a really quite large good quality wide screen monitor and the VC will do the rest for you.
That will probably be more realistic.

-I am surprised that this has not been a more popular option.
I have tried a model flight simulator - yes I fly radio control models - with a Panasonic widescreen 37" LCD tv via a HDMI connector giving 1080p & I was mightily impressed. When I went back to my old 19" 4:3 Mitsubishi monitor it looked absolutely tiny & with a very narrow view.
I would be very interested to try FSX with a TV such as this as I suspect that the results would be very worthwhile. Unfortunately my TV is a 32" CRT si until we replace it, probably this autumn, I may well not get the chance.

The new Hi def TVs can be connected to a PC.
I assume they don't work well otherwise I imagine there would be many references to them.
Would some kind soul please confirm or set out the pros and cons by comparison to say a three screen system please?
