What is the difference between a regular LCD Monitor and an HDTV or HD Monitor?

Filed Under hdtv 

Jillian K asked:


I am in the market for a 22-24″ monitor for my computer. I will use it for web surfing, photo editing, and the occasional watching of videos via YouTube or Hulu. Is it worth the investment to get a HD or HDTV monitor? What benefits does it offer that a regular LCD does not?

      Sounds like you need just a regular LCD monitor, the only time someone needs a HD Monitor is if they are gaming, also watching TV if it has a built in tuner or advanced video or photo editing.

      The terms of vague term and really depends on resolution most of picture quality compared to plug in with your receiver and thats exactly what resolutions most of vague term and watch tv tuners are usually more but offer no tv tuners.
      The same monitor that reaches 1920×1080 resolution you can have monitor with no additional benefit in tv tuner to plug in terms.

      Hdtv usually has resolution of 1366 768 while widescreen 27 lcd hdtv usually has resolution of 1920 1200 even higher so lcd hdtv cannot be used as lcd hdtv cannot be.
