DLNA Networkable LCD Computer Monitor

[moltra]

Anyone know of a good LCD Monitor that has the capability to connect to a network and be a DLNA render. I am looking for a dual use monitor/TV. I will be using it as a second monitor for my laptop at home and using it as a screen to watch files streamed from serviio when camping.

I am also looking at TV's but have heard that they are hard on the eyes close up when using as a computer monitor.

an LCD is an LCD weither it a monitor or a TV so fact your sat right by a TV wouldnt affcet u any more than being sat right infront of a monitor. Anything over about 22" would be kinda silly tho.

That is what I thought, but searching on the net lot of people complained about using a TV as a monitor due to pixel size.

I found on that I can make work I think, it has VGA, HDMI, and DVI. Asus VE228H.

well yer they are correct if you are using an OLD TV before lcd was invented.

Well, an LCD pixel varies in size... My 40" LCD TV and my 21" computer monitor both supports a max resolution of 1920x1080 pixels.

Most large computer monitors supports higher resolutions, and therefore also has more physical "pixels" in the display. So a 21" computer monitor that supports, say 2560x1440, and a 21" TV that supports only 1920x1080 has much smaller pixels than the TV... Of cause this is also true if the low resolution display was a computer monitor. There just seems to be a general rule of not going above 1920x1080 for TV's no matter what the physical size may me, where larger physical size usually means more pixels for computer monitors.

I ended up purchasing a 23" LED monitor yesterday to use. It has HDMI input so I can use it in my camper, just have to run a seperate speaker setup.
