Hi,

I read that many people nowadays are using TV as a Monitor.

In my stock market chart applications, I need to have 10 to 12 charts open at any given moment. Most Stock Traders achieve this using 6 to 12 monitors. ( I have seen photos of 8 to 12 Monitors used by some traders ). For me this is not possible because I can’t find a video card that will do this where I live. And I can’t afford 10 Monitors.
So the other solution is to use Very Large 46 inch Flat TV.

If anybody is using TV as a monitor, I need all the help I can get. What should I be looking for in a TV. We have Samsung & LG & Philips Brands available. Sony might be but too expensive for me.

Few Samsung models I looked at had following.

1. Full HD
2. Clear Motion Rate was either 100 OR 400. I don’t know what that means.
3. Dynamic Contrast 4 Million to1 and 5 Million to 1.
4. Some Internet Ready & others not.
5. LCD or LED

What does Clear Motion Rate Mean ? How important is contrast Ratio ? Is LED better than LCD ? LG or Samsung or Philips ?

What else should I be looking for ?

Any explanation & suggestions would really help.

Thank You.

Something else to consider. Most graphics cards support 2 monitors. Monitors typically support higher resolutions than TVs for finer detail up close. Two 22" or 24" inch monitors may suit your needs better than one big TV. If you are not planning on watching TV, then the tuner circuits in a TV are a waste of money.
