Not familiar with these. Can you post some examples? Is 1080p important to you?

26" LCD as PC Monitor
which ones are the best now as PC monitor? is HDMI 1.3 important? looking for one that will support full resolution with HDMI/DVI maybe?

I don't think HDMI 1.3 will be relevant to a TV used as PC monitor. As I recall there were some bandwidth improvements, but the current HDMI standard is good enough for 1080p.
I got a 26" Samsung. Trying to get the resolution right. Hooked up via DVI to HDMI. It has a VGA port, but my Philips looked better using DVI-HDMI so I am going that route with this one.
I have a 6200 with DVI out, using 81.98 drivers(looking for newer ones now). It isn't clear yet. Anyone know what resolution this monitor will use and look good?

I was looking at the Toshiba 26HL67, Sharp LC-26D43U, Samsung LN-T2653, etc. i guess any of them would probably accept a PC input. will look them over in person and see which I like best.
I'd try VGA. On many sets it works much better for PC connections than DVI/HDMI. My LCD TV, for example, is better VGA than HDMI.
Are you using 60 hz? What's the model number?

I got it looking ok on the HDMI, but I will give the VGA a try anyway. I got to get a cable first.
i went to BB and CC today and was able to see only the new Samsung on display. No Sharp or Toshiba, I did see an Sony that looked excellent. Sony looked different/sharper than the Samsung, but $1K for 26"?
they all are going ShInY black now... hmmm...
