Is it worth it?

[Computer_Freak]

Hey guys.

My GFX card has a HDMI output...

Is it worth it to get a HDTV (22" LG, 5ms, 1680x1050)

Also it looks awesome.

But will I see a performance gain? an image quality gain? Anything?

Thanks guys

i would still go for it, higher res, larger image are a plus.

"DVI and HDMI are exactly the same as one another, image-quality-wise. The principal differences are that HDMI carries audio as well as video, and uses a different type of connector, but both use the same encoding scheme, and that's why a DVI source can be connected to an HDMI monitor, or vice versa, with a DVI/HDMI cable, with no intervening converter box."

so there is no advantage, but it being bigger?

Cause if thats the case, ill get myself a normal 24 or 26" samsung monitor... as it saves money over a HDMI capable TV

any monitor with hdmi input would also have built in speakers, probably low q, and would make the monitor more expensive over a similarly sized monitor w/out speakers.
if you are using pc speakers, it wouldn't be worth it to get a hdmi monitor.
go for the largest resolution lcd with dvi, same image quality.
