I'm not finding what I've been looking for in this regard. I'm in a position to finally upgrade my gateway 22" ws, and I was curious why nobody uses plasma tvs as monitors? Well, I am sure someone somewhere does, but I haven't found any detailed review. Obviously you'll be using 16:9 instead of 16:10, but that's not striking me as a huge issue. Are plasmas not known for a faster response time? People tell me the response time on plasmas is like a CRT. In summation, why not plasma? |

I was curious why nobody uses plasma tvs as monitors? Because it's really, really stupid. Plasmas have the highest risk of burn-in of all display technologies, and LCDs have no risk at all. Burn-in is most likely to occur when static images are left on the screen for long periods of time, which means that using a plasma as your monitor is a really good way to turn an expensive TV into a framed portrait of your desktop. |

There's a myriad of technologies which have come around in the last 2 or so years that prevent burn-in. I'm assuming some or most of them work to a large degree? EDIT: Oops, fat fingered 3 instead of 2. |
