Let's back up for a moment. It's 2007. Most geeks like you and me already use dual monitor setups with their multi-purpose desktop machines. However, have you ever asked yourself if that second monitor should be that old XGA LCD monitor from your previous PC, or a big, impressive flat panel television? Geeks.com sent us in an iLO 32" HDTV and we review it exactly as such: a computer monitor!

1080p TVs still cost $2500 anew, so they are out of the question for most people.
Eugenia, you may want to double-check your price expectations (at least in the US). As a sanity check, Amazon has a 32" Sharp Aquos 1080p for < $1100 (and claims the list price < $1400). Shipping, tax, and extended warranties are, of course extra.

>perhaps you should watch for a 1080p tv.
1080p TVs still cost $2500 anew, so they are out of the question for most people. From the 37% of the US population who own HDTVs, only about 3% have 1080p TVs.
>Was it good as a tv monitor? How did if fail?
Did you actually read the article? Besides, the product was used on an office with various equipment and multimedia devices, not on a living room. As I wrote earlier, the monitor worked perfectly, and the only problem I found was its resolution which was not 720p-native. Other than that, I found no problems whatsoever.
>for video editing, how was it?
You still don't understand. The video editing part happens on my higher-resolution PC monitor, not on the HDTV. On the HDTV you only *test* the video for color/contrast accuracy, you do nothing else with it.
>Did you at least tried to compare it to other similar products?
I compared it to our 55" HDTV. Really, did you read the article or you just skimmed it?
>(preferrably an expencive one as reference)?
Feel free to send us one. I am not related to Bill Gates or Steve Jobs so I can't ask for a loan.
