telly
so i'm contemplating actually buying a television.
of the three computers i use at home, one of them (my old Mac) functions pretty much as a television box only, as in i have it souped up with large capacity hard drives of which exists a great deal of downloaded telly that at the very least i fall asleep to every night since i usually need to have some noise to sleep. Sometimes it functions as an actual Computer, but only on a casual basis since the computer is relatively old and slow, and the processor might be on its dying legs, so i keep its actual processing power to a minimum.
Since most flatscreen tellys these days have the ability to accept VGA input, i figured that i could buy one to replace my computer monitor, also giving it the ability to be purpose-flexible (mainly iidx, but also maybe for casual group movie watching).
thing is, i don't know crap about televisions these days, and don't know what's a reasonable price or a reasonable telly for my purposes. I don't need anything super fancy or super huge. I definitely want it to be a flatscreen because i think i'm going to mount it on my wall. I need something that will not cause lag for when i want to play iidx.
so who has recommendations and a general price range? ballpark and manufacturer is fine, or if it doesn't matter because i'm just a low-end casual user, that's fine too.
