Anyone know ne thing about monitors i want some help

I suggest a $30 TV Tuner card (newegg has plenty).

The one I got is a RealTek and it works fine. The software that comes with it can be scheduled to record stuff and links to a TV guide type website so you can set it up pretty much like tivo and record stuff to your hard drive then watch it (or be boring and watch live TV :-p)

Glad you like it.

Samsung makes the best LCD's IMHO, that is all I buy for work and home. I have the
225BW Black 22" 5 ms (GTG) DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor

right now, and I love it. I paid $205 shipped for it about 4 months ago, I am a shopper though and bought it from a little known seller who was overstocked right before the 226BW came out.

Anyone with a 20-24" widescreen LCD wanna measure the vertical visible area of the screen for me? I'm looking to get something that's the same height as the viewable on my 19" CRT (at 1280x1024) to run the whateverx1050 resolution so my desktops will line up. My current 19"/17" pair does NOT line up at all (17" is a POS and only runs at 1024x768).

I plan on buying from Newegg, but of course vertical viewable isn't one of the specs they provide and my trig is a bit rusty.

19" crt is 18" viewable and 10 11/16" tall.
