I'm thinking about getting the Samsung SM940MW to use with my Xbox 360 and also watch TV with.

Does anyone have any information on it?

I'm a bit confused about resolutions and screen sizes - anything to do with LCD's, really!

I've heard that the resolution's 16:10. Is this as good as 16:9?

My last TV was a 17" LCD but I want something a bit bigger.

The TV's for my bedroom and it's only about 12ft by 12ft, so I don't want a massive screen.

It's more suitable as a monitor, rather than a TV.

It's not technically HD Ready, it's an SM model, meaning 'SyncMaster', meaning monitor.

3 year warranty included with it being a monitor, but personally i wouldn't want it as a TV.

Would it be best to get a proper TV to play my Xbox on?

I must admit, I wouldn't be using the monitor for my PC - only Xbox.

Can you recommend a good 19/20" LCD up to £250?

Goodmans LD1928W is a nice 19" HD Ready set.

I have the Samsung SM940MW and really like it. We use it mainly as a 2nd TV, fed by the RF2 output from the SKY+ box. I have, on occassion, attached my PC, PS2 and DVD Player to it and I personally don't really notice the difference between the 16:10 rather than 16:9.

Picture via RF2 isn't brilliant (but then again, its RF) but via scart (RGB and Composite), VGA and DVI (HDCP compatible) it's really very good.
