Anyone lend a helping hand

 

Tried TukCom etc

 

But asking for a 26 or 28 inch monitor seems about on a par as asking to be given a salesperson's kidney

 

Anyone know where these elusive items can be got?

I have yet to find one on Pattaya.

 

Heres one in BKK though

 

InvadeIT list some high end Professional monitors, you will need deep pockets though.

The biggest I saw in Pattaya are 25" at Power Point in Beach Center Festival.

 

The best is maybe to go Bangkok, Fortune or Pantip, to see them working and choose,

and then go Tukcom with exact reference to see who can get it.

IT-City can be good for that, but probably many other too.

I believe generally you have no idea, once again you proved my point.

 

I'm sorry, I missed the post with your point, and you hadn't posted it in this thread. Can you say again what your point is?

 

Many of the new LCD or LED TVs have computer inputs. Just find a 27" or 30" or 32" TV and you're all set.

 

Exactly. Virtually any HD-capable TV makes an excellent monitor.

Our 32" TV in the lounge has a networked PC attached via HDMI to it as well as a DVD Player and Satellite receiver.

 

I can stream HD movies across my wireless network in the bedroom on my main PC I just have a lowly LG 20 " Monitor.

 

They both serve their purposes.

The point being the OP is asking about a 26" or 28" monitor.

 

Exactly. Virtually any HD-capable TV makes an excellent monitor.

 

Errm on this advice if the OP purchased a TV that was capable of HD playback a lot upscale from 720p (most of the cheapies), whilst these play 1080p movies visually fine they are not really all that good for PC monitors, to use a LCD TV as a monitor the OP would need to be armed with suitable information to ensure he was purchasing a TV that is suitable for his needs (he wants a monitor).

My Samsung did the same, wasn't under warranty but Samsung came to my house replaced the capacitors in Patts, cost my under 1000Bht, I thought that was a good deal.

If you're looking for anything bigger than 17 or 19" you might as well get a 26" or bigger LCD/LED/Plasma TV

 

You can get a 32" LCD TV with a great picture for about $450

A LCD monitor of only 24" costs about twice as much

 

& if you have an HDMI port on your computer, you're even better off since it will give you video & sound connection to a TV

The picture will not be the same.

 

My PC is hooked up to a 32" LG LCD "TV" and a 21" LG LCD "Monitor". Apples and oranges.

 

For basic net surfing and watching TV, IMHO, one could substitute either. I use the TV for Netflix and Hulu and watch from the couch. If you PC game, edit video, pictures, etc., I think you will need a monitor.

 

On the TV my wallpaper photos look washed out compared to the monitor. That being said, if they are not side by side, the photos on the TV look "OK".

 

All this being said, some of the very pricey LCD "TVs" may be just as good as a monitor, but now we are talking the same prices.

 

@ Tom, Those Apple monitors give me wood.

You have to have the right computer software for the TV type monitors. Otherwise, the aspect ration might be off. Also, it helps if the TV is 1080P. Otherwise, what could be the difference?

To be honest, I don't know for sure why. I only know what my eyes see. I tried LG's software for the TV and it did nothing to improve the picture from the PC, but, it could have been the user.

 

The numbers are not the same, that's for sure. I tried to find out the why an LG LCD TV has dynamic contrast ratio of 50,000-1 and an LG LCD MONITOR has digital fine contrast ratio of 5,000,000-1 ...I got lost. Big shocker there :rolleyes:

 

Anyway, I hadn't shopped for a while, looking now I see that the prices of TV vs. monitor are getting closer together.
