At any rate, I hope it'll be to your liking.
Actually it's this one:

Because its for pc games also you want black colors too look black (at night) not washed out grey so go for a led backlit screen . I have an LG W2486L-PFV . 24" is ideal size . If you use an hdmi make sure it is a good (expensive one) as cheap ones can heat up and be trouble . A dvi connector is all you need . I use a tv card and i can give you a list of my components which i built the computer myself .

No! I hate you!


When I ordered stuff from NewEgg before I used my Post Office box. This was too big, so I told them to send it to my apartment. What they sent instead was an email saying that the bank requires the billing and shipping address to match. So I went online and changed the billing address at the bank's website, and notified NewEgg. I haven't even got a confirmation back yet. They may have shipped it yesterday, and I may get it by Friday, but who knows?

That happened to me. A company had a speaker cabinet I wanted, discounted to 1/4 the asking price because they're discontinued. I was told it would ship November 5. When I called their customer service the rep was as confused as I was, since they only had one left and wanted to get it out of the warehouse now. When he said "one", I went back and checked my order. Sure enough, I had tried to order two. I changed the order to one and it shipped immediately.

Anyway, my first ever widescreen LCD monitor should arrive in a very short time.

Here's a cheap way to turn your monitor into a TV. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815116028

I've found them as cheap as $39.99 on up and external usb tv tuner with antenna included. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...077&CatId=4546
