Hi all
Recently re-subscribed to Sky+ (with Sports mix) and have the following set up.
Front room: Sony Wega 32" CRT (5 yrs old), Sky+ Box, Humax 9200T and Sony DVD player.
Back room/Office: Dell Dimension 5000 PC, Dell F173FP 19" Monitor.
I currently run a co-ax out my Sky+ RF2 connection to an Avermedia USB2.0 Plus TV box via TV Link/Magic Eye into my PC.
I can therefore watch Sky Sports on PC no probs. I also bought another remote to save time walking between rooms. However although perfectly watchable even on full-screen, the quality is not as good as TV picture, compared to when I had a co-ax into a 2nd Tv in my old house.
I wonder whether I'd be better buying a TV that accepts PC input, but am mindful that my current Dell Monitor has 1280*1024 res. A lot of 19-26" TVs are something x 768 res!
I've been looking at a LG: http://uk.lge.com/products/model/det...22lg3000.jhtml which has 1680x1050 res, so appears better than my monitor. It's obviously Freeview enabled so I'd have Sky Sports News too.
Would this be a good option?
Or are there alternatives/better options?
Hope you can help.
