Thanks Mike for the explanation. I think that is what the TV salesman was
trying to tell me that my computer LCD monitor would have better resolution.
I am soon to buy a new computer and perhaps a second not long after. The
second one I was considering a laptop (never owned one), did not think I
would care for them. But transport is the reason for me. I need/want the
set up though with a monitor and keyboard like I have now.
My poor eyes are going downhill.. ;0...been putting off eye surgery on both
eyes awhile now, may be inevitable though.

Hello Christine,
the resolution is the highest supported by the video card in
my AMD1000
On my newer computer I use a lower resolution than the
card is capable as it makes the fonts larger.
I also go into the display settings and set the font's to a
lager than normal (Custom 135%) on the AMD.
You will get better resolution out of most LCD monitors
than LCD TV's:
more pixels (dots) per square inch/CM.
I needed to get/work with my bifocal glasses.
The bottom lens allows me to see the keyboard letters
to type and or read the instruction books.
The upper portion allows me to see thing clearly at a distance.
In this case 35inches from the edge of my desk/eyes,
to the 32" monitor.
It took me few days to find the correct viewing distance,
and get used to the new glasses.
A high end LCD with HDTV will give better resolution
than a elCeapo LCD monitor:
Which is dependent on the Display properties of
the computer Video card.
I have 2 laptops which I rarely use as I need 2 pair of glasses
one to see the keys, another to view the screen.
BTW: different glasses for each laptop screen.
It gets crazy when I have all 4 computer running on my
U shaped desk setup.
I have 7 different power reading glasses for use
on various computers. 125 all the way to 400.
I also have a 4 tube 48" florescent fixture on 4ft behind
me overhead with Philips 'Natural Daylight' bulbs.
It is like having a skylight behind me illuminating my desk.

Mike, how does that resolution help your vision? I am curious as I have
vision problems. I thought the higher the number the better the
resolution, the clearer the picture (better quality), am I wrong about
that?
When is it better to use a computer LCD monitor than a HDTV LCD monitor or
are they basically one in the same? I saw a Vizio today at Walmart 22"
with
a high resolution number for about 374.00 and just purchased a Samsung a
week or more ago for about 500.00, wondered why the diff in price. I think
resolution was about the same, unless it is just that Walmarts prices were
lower. I did not see the same Samsung there but did see a 26" with a lower
resolution number for about the same I paid for the 22" only they had diff
resolution numbers.
Thanks ;)

Hello Don,
I use a 32" Sony Bravia 1080 LCD HDTV/monitor 60Hz refresh rate
(1080 X 724) gives me the best view with my vision.
It has a seperate PC imput jack so I can use it with my old
AMD 1000 I use all day long.
