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, 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.
