I am considering purchasing a Samsung LN-S3292D flat panel HDTV to utilize as a computer monitor. Will it work well? (ie. for computer gaming and Microsoft Office applications coupled with a high performance GPU like the Geoforce 7800GTX2 e.g.) Any thoughts would be appreciated. |

Scaling / Resolution are always the biggest concern when dealing with computer displays like this. It is going to look best when the signal coming from the computer is in the native resolution for the display. The native resolution for the display you mentioned is: "HD-grade 1366(H) x 768(V)" http://www.plasmatvbuyingguide.com/plasma-computer-monitor-17.html http://www.samsung.com/Products/TV/LCDTV/files/lns3292_final.pdf Most new video cards can have an output of: 1280 X 768. This of course if very close to the displays resolution, but not exactly. This resolution is actually the 15:9 aspect ratio vs. the 16:9 of the display that you are looking at. This would have a small, perhaps not even noticeable effect on the display quality. But I don't think you will have to worry about this. Your video card has an "Integrated HDTV encoder provides analog TV-output (Component/Composite/S-Video) up to 1080i resolution". http://www.nvidia.com/object/7_series_techspecs.html This means that your output signal can be in HD 1080i from your video card. With your video card you be happy with any high quality display. Most systems like this are unsatisfactory due to the video card, not the display. I think you have a good card for this purpose. I think that the Samsung would be an excellent choice. It has some great features. I believe that with the quality of your video card and this TV will make for a great system! Please let me know if you require any further information by posting a request for clarification. Thanks! |
