    I currently have a Samsung Syncmaster 244T which is 24”, but I would like something a bit bigger. It’s in a small bedroom. I use it only as a pc monitor (don’t watch TV), but watch a lot of films so I would like a monitor / video card that will produce excellent video quality without “jittering”. Let’s say it’s my home entertainment centre. I can’t seem to find a pc monitor in the 32” size though. I’m running Win7.

    My budget is $1300. It seems that from some of the comments I have received I may not be happy with the image on a TV screen. I have noticed this one:

    32" LCD HDTV LN32B530 32" 1080p LCD HDTV - LCD TV - Televisions | SAMSUNG

    I don’t mind upgrading my video card / power supply either to take advantage of an HDMI connection. (I presume that would be far superior than the others?).

    I have no interest at all in watching TV, but can I hook this up to my pc and use it as a monitor? Will it give me a good quality image? I have seen reviews, but all of them are reviewing it as a TV but I’ll be using it just as a computer monitor. Are their good 32” pc monitors out there? One that has been suggested is this Dell 30”:

    Dell 30" Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor

    I want a good monitor for browsing and excellent video playback, preferably 32”
    Thanks.
