Tele as a monitor?
|
The computer is now also the tele in our house - a 24" monitor with a pair of active speakers being driven by the XP PC with a USB Freeview tuner in it. The monitor (HP 1920 X 1200) gives a great picture but the ladywife is remarking that the screen is a few inches smaller than the old widescreen CRT tele. She wants a bigger screen!
Well, I can't object to getting a nice 30" monitor, can I? It might even have 2560 X 1600 pixels - a dream for Photoshopping.....
But them Big Monitors are costly. There's an Eizo I fancies but it's £1800! However, there are LCD televisions of the 1080p variety that have 1920 X 1080 pixels. Perhaps the tele can become the computer screen, especially as even a Humongous tele of this ilk is more like £1200 than £1800? Smaller ones of the same resolution are cheaper still.
This is my question then: is a 30 - 40 inch 1080p LCD television suitable for Photoshopping; or will the colour space be all wriong, the pixels too big or something else that will spoil it for doing digital darkroom?
