LCD Monitor or LCD TV

Requirements for HD
  • Minimum resolution of 1280 x 720.
LCD Monitor
  1. 19" - 1440 x 900
  2. 20-22" - 1680 x 1050
  3. 24-28" - 1920 x 1200
LCD TV
  1. HD-ready - 1366 x 768
  2. Full HD - 1920 x 1080
  • Minimum contrast ratio 800:1
  • Minimum brightness 450 cd/m
  • HDMI inputs - one for HD set-top box, one for DVD recorder with HDMI output and another for cable or your game station / HDMI switch
You can watch HD on LCD monitor with HDMI input or you can do HDMI via a DVI port which supports HDCP. HDMI cable carries both uncompressed HD video and digital surround sound audio but for DVI, it is good for HDTV but requires a separate cable for audio. It is best to compare the cost before buying.
