HELP! Photo's of your 32" or 37" TV/Monitor's!

[Joe90k]

As the title says, I am looking to get either a 32" or 37" TV as a Secondary Monitor or possibly main monitor at Uni. I do a lot of Pro Engineer work so the increased size and workspace is useful. Do you have any photos of your setup i.e. keyboard and mouse in front of either a 32" or 37" 1080p TV?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Joe

I have no idea about the huge screen, but I know that for engineering I prefer dualscreen because of the actual increase in pixels:

The 24" on the left has as much pixels as a 1080p and costs about half (allowing you to buy two ). Unless you use the TV for presentating your drawings etcetera I would go for a normal monitor.

I personally use a 32" Hitachi TV, I almost wish I hadn't, the colours are horrendous and the image sharpness is far from perfect (though for gaming purposes it's perfect, and at £125 I can't really complain

Take it from a fellow designer, just go for a monitor or 3, it'll save you hassle and time in looking around for the perfect TV

at £125 its more than likely an old plasma at a guess, they look horid for static images, my 42" toshiba (1080p lcd) is perfect for games/photoshop/web/office docs ect just need to tune the settings right.

If your want pure screen area then either 2 24" 1080/1200p monitors or stretch the extra bit and get a nice 1600x2560 res monitor

As it has already been said, you won't be getting any more workspace as the resolution on TV's is lower than that of larger monitors.

Na, it's a 720p LCD TV, still works for images, but the colours change massively when I transfer to another PC (for a start they look much more vibrant)

mhmm odd, give the image settings a play, stock settings are usualy alot worse than they can be

Unfortunately I've got it on the most vibrant setting without going dynamic (which hurts my eyes)

Anyway, this thread is about helping Joe, so I'll shut up moaning now
