The problem is, when I play a console game the picture is grainy. I don't have this problem with PC games. My PS3 is plugged in through HDMI and my Xbox is plugged in using VGA, both have the same problem. How do I get rid of the grain? Or should I go and buy a Samsung monitor?.. seeing as tho Samsung is a trusted manufacturer when it comes to TV's and stuff. Edited by Lawnboi, Jun 14 2010, 10:29 PM.

HDTV cost more but it gets the job done, you could even use PS,PS2, Gamecube or Wii on the HDTV. The new gaming monitors only offer HDMI.

The screen was 19" so it actually looked better arguably than my 1080p 32" sony I play on now. Smaller the screen=higher the quality though you can pay to have a higher aspect ratio to keep the goodness, but my monitor at the time was no slouch.
