We just brought in a 32" LCD HD for our new security cameras. They won't be installed for a week or so and I decided to try out the unit. It is sitting on my desk and I am using it as my computer monitor. WOW! I want one of these all the time but it will make meetings in my office a little harder (it will be like playing peek a boo with anybody sitting in front of my desk).

Anybody using a large monitor for their computer screen?

The girl I work for on some afternoons bought me a new computer last week and a flat panel monitor.

It's not a big one.....maybe 19", but it's a wide screen...I HATE IT!

It makes print previews look weird!!

Is there anyway to make them where they look like a regular monitor??

(Sorry CenTex, Im not meaning to hijack this or anything, I was just wondering):)

No problem! Unfortunately I can't help you, I just call our help desk when I have a problem.

It's not the size that matters, but rather how you use it!;)

Looks can be deceiving. Give it a good test drive before you just blow it off. :devil:

Anyway....our media guy here just has two 19" monitors right next to each other. That's much cheaper and allows you to run several programs at once and see each of them.

At home, I have my computer hooked up to my 46 inch widescreen TV. I use a wireless keyboard and mouse from my Lazy Boy. ;)
