hi all. i've been wondering for a while about how good it would be to work on a big screen again. my computers quite nice but the the monitor i work on is about 10 years old. it's about 15 inch i think. i had my computer hooked up to my 26 inch panasonic viera tv for a while which was great, but house rearrangements seperated them. i did loads of research when i bought ny tv on amazon and in which? magazine. panasonic always occupied the majority of the top 10 lists, and so thats what i went for and have never regretted it.

im thinking of buying myself a new tv to use as a monitor, poss 26 inch again, i think 32 might be too crap onthe eyes from 2 feet away. i was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions or ideas. would it be best to buy an actual pc monitor, rather than a tv? my mate is a video editor and has a two screen set up for his mac. im thinking picture quality, sharpness, contrast, colour callibration etc.

anybody got 2 cents worth to throw in? im budgeting at around £400.
