New LCD TV?

[circlestech]

Hello,

I'm thinking about buying this flatscreen. http://www.microdirect.co.uk/product...roductID=12379 at the moment i've got a TV Card which is a pain when trying to use the PC as well. Is this screen any good?

Thanks
Ben

I've got a 17" Samsung widescreen monitor which I use with a TV card & for DVD playback, & it has been great.

Just bear in mind that without an hdmi connector, it won't be compatible with encrypted HD programmes, when they become available, although unencrypted will be fine with the DVI or component connectors.

Hello,

I've seen on ebuyer.com a cable which plugs into the DVI port on the screen which has a HDMI connector on the end will this be compatible with Sky HD?

I've no idea, myself, except to say why are they making so much fuss about DRM via HDMI, only, if it is so simple to circumvent? I would guess, and it is only a guess, that these converter cables will work fine with unencrypted HD output and upscaled DVD, but not with encrypted content.

- I'm happy to be proved wrong on that
