Answer» Hi, I often watch movies in my ROOM on my computer. However, since my bed is far AWAY from my computer, I need a bigger screen. I am debating between buying an HD TV (maybe 32") or a large computer screen (23 or 25 inches). What would the main advantages of the TV over the computer screen be? Is it really worth it? Thanks!The TV is a multi function media device the monitor is limited to it's function by it's connection to a computer. Prior to buying your TV take note of the connection options on it and also on your computer sound and video cards to ensure compatibility of cable connections. truenorth Quote from: truenorth on July 16, 2010, 11:31:33 AM The TV is a multi function media device the monitor is limited to it's function by it's connection to a computer.

NickGenerally speaking "on-board cards" do not offer the degree of sophistication and versatility of inserted stand alone cards.
