Can I use a flat screen PC TFT monitor instead of an expensive LCD TV?
Yes – there is a large price difference between LCD TVs and similarly specified TFT monitors. Sometimes the only additional features are analogue TV tuners and internal speakers. If you care about quality then neither of these are particularly appealing! Also, If you plan to use a PC (e.g. as an MP3 jukebox) then you can save money and improve your picture by using SweetSpot to convert the video signal from your set top box, and presenting it through a regular TFT monitor. Sometimes LCD TVs offer a wider viewing angle than LCD monitors and a higher brightness which can be useful. However, most are also lower resolution which can make use with a PC (especially with text) far from ideal.
