Hi, NateMan99, LCD Tv and LCD monitor are really very different in LCD panel and electronics. LCD TV panel usually has high contrast (>1000:1), high brightness (>500nits), good color gamut (NTSC/xvYCC), and wide view angle (>170 degree). To achieve these advantages, LCD TV panel has bigger pixel size. However, LCD monitor's panel is much poor than TV panel. It usually has 500:1 contrast, 300nits brightness, and sRGB color space, which is much smaller than NTSC. Since Tv need to receive many kinds of signal, such as Composit video, S Video, YCbCr/YPbPr, HDMI, VGA,DVI, 480i/p, 720p, 1080i/p, LCD TV electronics are much complex than that of LCD monitor. LCD TV embodys de-interlacer to convert interlaced signa into progressive signal for LCD display, and scalar to scale up/down the input signal to the resolution of panel.However, LCD monitor usually only receive VGA progressive signal from PC, so de-interlacer is not needed. The scalar in LCD monitor is usually much poor than that in LCD TV. To improve image quality, LCD TV adopts many advanced image/video enhancement techniques, such as 3D noise reduction, color enhancement, fresh tone adjustment, DCDi, and so on. All of these are not applied in a LCD monitor. From above, we can see that LCD TV is really different with monitor, though they looks same. To development a good TV set, company must focus on color reproduction, moving object response, dark picture display, noise reduction, channel sensitivity, and so on. TV is a much complex product than monitor.

Hey 'summer boy', Dell ships more LCDs worldwide than anyone else. So, I'd bet they know something about LCDs, including LCD TVs.
