I didn't want to create a new thread so I thought I'd ask here.

I'm in the market for a new TV and I am planning on using it as a computer monitor as well.

Based on my own knowledge and what I've read online, I've kinda figured out the following:

TV:
to ensure optimal viewing I'm thinking of the following specs for my TV:

at least 32", I'm probably getting one bigger than that because I really want to use it as a TV as well obviously

Samsung (don't want any inferior brands but if anyone has other suggestions outside of Samsung let me know)
LED
1080p (720p not clear enough--huge pixels)

any other specs I should be aware of?


I also want to ensure I won't have problems connecting it to my computer to use as a monitor.

Most HDTVs have HDMI ports, but my desktop has a DVI. Simple solution = get a DVI to HDMI wire?

Is there anything else I should be aware of just to ensure I won't have any issues with connecting it to my desktop?




Any help would be appreciated. I'm really out of the loop with regards to TVs.

Thanks
