30" lcd tv as trading monitor????

[daytrade]

is there any reason that using a no name brand lcd tv as a monitor would be bad?? will a high end video card in your pc work just as well on it?? im thinking bout grabbing somthing like this..

Quote from Raven:

read up on resolution

and remember on a tv it cannot be changed.

I recall it is 12xx by 768.

Yep, TV's dont have anywhere near the resolution of monitors.

It might be fine for graphics from a distance but text will not be clear/readable.

Here are some of the common native resolutions found in LCD monitors:

14-15": 1024x768 (XGA)
17-19": 1280x1024 (SXGA)
20"+: 1600x1200 (UXGA)
19” (Widescreen): 1440x900 (WXGA+)
20” (Widescreen): 1680x1050 (WSXGA+)
24” (Widescreen): 1920x1200 (WUXGA)
30” (Widescreen): 2560x1600
