    i can buy a 24 inch computer monitor for 200 bucks.

    Or I can buy a 45 inch LCD flat screen tv for 200 dollars

    Remind me why I'm bothering with a computer monitor again ??

    how many screens can you squeeze into the one TV screen , without sacrificing resolution?
     
  5. I don`t know.I use only one chart which`s on the tv screen.I felt that the laptop 15" screen was a little small,that`s why i put it on the 45" tv screen.Care less about resolution and stuff,i just see it as i need it now.
     
  6. your TV is still 1080. When you minimize windows on the TV it will be too blurry to see. i mean you cant even see you candles etc. Its always better to buy muliple monitors than a huge ass TV. UNLESS its a super high HD 4k res
     
  7. A 1920x1080 monitor has the same number of pixels as a 60" HDTV.

    Computer monitor pixels are small.... for sharp image from short viewing distance. TV pixels are large... images sharp only if viewed from a great "enough" distance.
     
  8. Seems like that should work... if you can adjust text size so that it isn't too small.

    More than 90% of small traders can't see. They just lose!
