When you hook it up to your pc what resolution does it run? I read somewhere 640x480!!!!

With a 20" screen, you would need to be near blind to use it, icons would be 3 feet wide!

Nice spot for a tv tho!

Don`t forget QED charge £16.00 delivery giving a total of £345.99. I`d rather pay a little more knowing that I can take it back to Argos in the car and get a no quibble refund if things don`t work out too well.

Hovever, it does seem that the screen resolution is 640x480 :(

well happy with mine spot on resolution settings can be set @ 800x600 1152x684 1280x768 1280x1024 1360x768 1600x900 1600x1024 1600x1200 1920x1080 1920x1200 1920x1440 2048x1536 thats on my crappy 64mb mx440 graphics card i have resolution set at 800x600 icons are approx 11mm wide not 3 feet lol :o beko have an excellent warranty if it goes faulty you get a new one also there is no policy regarding damaged pixels which is good i think £350 for a lcd tv monitor with all the features is a bargain

Thanks Micky,

Can you (or anyone else) advise what resolution I can expect in PC mode from this TV? I run a Dell Optiplex using the on-board Intel 82810E Graphics Controller.

Also how can you get 1600x1024 resolution for example, from a TV that quotes a resolution of 640x480?

Thanks
Sam.

The monitor will not support a resolution of higher than 640 x 480 so for use as a PC monitor, it is absolutely rubbish - people are better off buying a dedicated DVI monitor and separate TV tuner.

The resolutions you have quoted are those that your graphics card supports and not of the monitor.

I bought this at £500 a few months ago and I would highly recommend it. It comes with a VGA lead for connecting up to a PC and the quality is spot on.

It`s also worth mentioning that this TV has two scart inputs as well as S-video and phono-style AV inputs.

aye mines spot on to xbox and pc games are wicked on it

For games it is fine because the lower resolution will give the image of smoother pixels although in reality we all know that this isn`t the case but it`s the way the human eye sees it. Also the resolution of PAL is 720 x 576 - much superior to the 640 x 480 which this LCD monitor supports. At that resolution I reiterate that this is certainly NOT suitable for use with PC although it will be fine if it is for gaming only. You get what you pay for.
