best tv for a pc ?

[supercluelessguy]

Hi all

I'm looking at buying a new tv as my old one was hit by lighting. I'm going to be using it mostly with my pc. so a smart tv would be useless for me as my pc will always be plugged in.

1. 3D . I really want a 3D tv as I have a lot of full HD and 3D movies.

2. I live in South Africa .... they tend to sell old stock here so my choices aren't as vast as others.

3. looking for something 40 or bigger.

4. don't want to spend more then R 8000 ($800)

Options

1.

LG - 42 Inch Cinema 3D Full HD LED Smart TV - With 4 Pairs of 3D Glasses

Price = R7999 (+- $799)

Hi

I don't know the warranty options available in SA but you need to explore a bit more...the Sony W700B series seems to be a good favourite among most of our forum members and some users across the world...as for India...Sharp & Toshiba offer 3 years warranty and so personally I have moved to a Toshiba PU 200 series which has good connectivity options (analog, Component, HDMI, PC etc) with audio out (Digital optical).

See the below links to understand the basic difference in TVs..

Nowadays the TVs have a low lifespan....3-9 years so you should go for a TV which meets your requirements in terms of performance, connectivity, budget and ofcourse most important warranty...hope this helps...
