I want to buy a big LCD for the studio...

So I want an LCD TV that I will be mainly using for the studio as a monitor. Does any body have any suggestions as there is so much on the market. I want to spend about £500 and will be sitting a couple of feet away from it only - when making my music. I will use it for watching TV and DVDs as well, and wouldnt mind free view inbuilt.

If not suggestions on models, suggestions on what to look out for/ what I should be looking for/ whats good/ whats not good and so on.

Thank you!

Nev B.

well if it isn't neville fucking bartos!
you got a head that needs regular panel beating

sorry, aint got much of an idea about tvs, but check tesco/dixons/currys etc
my mate got a nice big panasonic, 48" or some shit, for £399 from tesco
definately look for a sale though, they'll knock £2-300 off tv's regularly.

you need to get some records out under this name...they'd sell out even if they're shit, chopper is legendary

start off you wanna make sure its got a VGA input for your pc

if your only gonna be a few feet away you probably dont wanna get anything over 32"

if your looking for something thats gonna give a good picture quality the best brands to look for are either Sony, Pioneer or Panasonic - but they are probably all quite pricey...

Saumsung are good value for money, i had a 23" one fot abit and never had any issues with it.

i think most tv's have built in freeview now as well

As it goes i browsed the tvs in Dixons yesterday and 32 seems to be the one. Is there any pixle rates/ depth(?) I shouldnt go below or anything?

are u running any HD stuff through it?

if you want the best quality make sure it does 1080p
and connect any HD stuff through HDMI..

is it a pc or a laptop?

If you're looking to get one from a big chain store like Dixons/Currys then check out their stores online first before going to the shop, they're bad fuckers for having the same TVs in store at about £200 dearer.

Oh and I'd recommend a Samsung.

ya cool great idea
but eh,
once you go above like 23, 24 inchs the screen size becomes counter productive

your best off getting two 22's rather then a 48 in my opinion

and i have used both.

also refresh rate is not what makes a good monitor
