bangbang023 Veteran Posted February 18, 2005 Veteran Share Posted February 18, 2005 Flat panel is the ultra thin (LCD, Plasma) while flat screen is a CRT with an nonbeveled glass front.

chmsant Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 And you want this for your bedroom? Flat Panel TV's are still extremely expensive ATM... you are looking at starting prices around $1000 or so.

deadpencil Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I did a quick search for flat panel tv on kelkoo.co.uk and these two were listed which I think may interest you. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...8018644-3907827 http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...8018644-3907827 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/286974-15-or-17-flat-screen-needed/#findComment-585494526 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt26 Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 You won't get one for cheap, you are looking at ?200 at least and that is definately not worth the money considering most LCD TVs have awful picture quality.

Snipe Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Dell's tvs look pretty good. the 17" LCD HDTV goes for about $600 canadian. 585550546[/snapback] I was thinking about purchasing the 17" LCD HDTV for use in my bedroom as a TV and computer monitor. I checked it out at my local DELL store, and it looked really nice. I have decided not to get it, because I will be getting married in a couple months and moving into a home - then I will put my PC in a room by itself, so there would not be much of a point to having an HDTV in there. I am now thinking about getting the DELL 2005FPW, which goes for about the same price.

Elmo Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 have you thought about a normal pc monitor and a cheap pc + tv card? then you could use it as a proper media center Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/286974-15-or-17-flat-screen-needed/#findComment-585553126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix XII Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 cheapest? don't even bother getting one then. 585494497[/snapback] I agree. If you're going to get a flat panel TV you'd better be ready to shell out the dough in the first place. The low end ones aren't even worth getting most of the time and honestly, I woulnd't consider anything under 20".
