READ CAREFULLY here. I have a Sharp Aquos 37" LCD TV. There were many different models of the 37" Aquos LCD TV. Some came with a VGA adapter, some came with a DVI (HDMI) adapter, and some didn't come with any. The native resolution is an awkward one. I've connected my computer to this television in every possible way, using every possible cable at every possible resolution. I either get no picture, blurry picture, pixelated picture or ghosted picture. When used as a TV, it is awesome! When used as a monitor, it is very poor. I WANT EVERYONE'S EXPERIENCED OPINION on what they prefer as an LCD TV (not plasma) and I want all the specs too please. I want to know what cable you are using and how it connects. Is it composite, component, DVI/HDMI VGA S-video whatever. I want to know what video card, what resolution on the card AND what the native (preferred/default) resolution is on the LCD TV. What size it the TV, the model # etc. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

Most lower cost TV's (LCD or otherwise) do not work well as monitors, (except for games which have large text and lots of motion). You can pick up a 21/22 inch Widescreen LCD monitor (1680x1050 res) for anywhere from just over $200 to just under $400. I got my Westinghouse at best buy on sale for $220. As a computer monitor, these work much better than an LCD TV costing closer to $1000. But they are not as good for watching movies.
