A buddy of mine is looking to buy a new TV. Because his living space is limited, he's also wanting something that can double as a computer monitor. The budget is set at $250 USD, shipped. (Can't be much fudging on that.) Because it's going to be used as a TV, he was kind of hoping for something in the 26-27" range, but I don't know that a TV at that size and price point would necessarily make a decent monitor. If a monitor in this price/size range is more feasible than a TV, I might be able to convince him to get a monitor instead and then watch TV through a tuner attached to his computer.
I'd loan him the extra $50 to get one of those awesome Korean monitors, but unfortunately his compy is a little too dated to run dual-link DVI -- or even single-link DVI for that matter. So the display will have to be VGA-friendly for the time being. Anyway, with all the constraints and requirements for the display, I know it won't be the best thing out there, but I'm just looking for something that can be adequate on all fronts to someone who's not too big of a connoisseur when it comes to displays. Any suggestions you guys can offer in this balancing act? Thanks in advance.
