Well, actually - I have a cheap s/h Dell GX240 with an FX5200 powering a 24" 1920x1200 display (£200) I only play SD pics but the video scaler in XV doesn't have a problem *scaling* video to that size. Playing HD video is another issue.

Oh, I bought a 26" LCD TV first - the picture sucked compared to the LCD monitor - and the monitor was about 70% of the TV price too.

Just FWIW.
