27" SCEPTRE LCD Monitor $145 at newegg. Good for triple screen setup?

They sell 100 hz TVs so I don't think that's true.  I think hdmi has several versions similar to usb.  They recently added version 1.4, which allows for ultra hd (4k 120hz) formats.

my first LCD was a 37" ?  Spectre.    This was some years back.   Id gotten it based on its cheaper price, and good reviews.

 The thing lasted about 3 years... and then refused to turn on.   It was not the bulb... it was something else more costly.

 Costco offered to either have the TV repaired... or for a refund.   I chose a refund.   I then proceeded to buy an old Sony 34" widecreen crt that did 1080i ...   and was more than pleased, using it for HD movies, game consoles, and some pc games.  (it wasnt quite clear enough for use as a main PC monitor)

 The Septre got really hot.   Generating more heat than a CRT.   It also developed a sort of ghost blotching (translucent darker spots / blobs), that was noticeable when seeing bright colors on screen.    I believe the heat caused materials to fuse... and thus make these internal splotches.

 It was cool having such a large desktop... but it was also unusable for what I intended it for:  doing artwork.   The color spectrum on it was severely limited.   Id compare it to my small but accurate PC monitor... and I immediately wanted to nuke every reviewer that claimed good results.   There were many missing color shades, and the brightness and contrasts were so limited and extreme... with no way to adjust them to match the correct levels.

 Things Might have changed over this much time.. so I can only tel you to be wary... especially when products go on deep discount / clearance sales.

I'll echo lilshawn and +1 for saving up and getting monitors with IPS panels.

We have DVI workstations to DVI TV panels and the audio works across the DVI interface. And yes I know the difference :)

DVI is kind of like scart... it's really a bunch of different formats on one connector.  If you look at those funny four pins on the one side with the metal bar separating them that is actually analog vga/rgb.
