LG M227WD 22″ LCD TV Review (1920×1080) and my own HTPC setup
Back when we were testing the Ion HTPC I bought a 1920x1080 LG 22" HDTV. Loaded with inputs (VGA, DVI, HDMI, etc.) and ideal for low power (50W) HDCP testing.
We eat our own dogfood here at Aleutia and I run a Dual Core H1 with a 320GB drive partitioned between Ubuntu 9.04 and Windows 7 RC, along with a Lite-On Dual Layer BluRay drive.
Not even going to get into the all the advantages of stability and included software, but the default windows manager on Ubuntu (Gnome) offers a wonderful, clean interface perfectly suited to computing on a television.
Meanwhile Windows 7 RC (free unti middle of 2010 when it will start to restart my system every hour) runs PowerDVD and plays BluRay movies (CPU utilization according to the task manager is just 23%).

Do LCD’s really make a difference? I have no problems with my plasma. Would I really see an improvement if I upgraded? And do LG really cut it with the big boys like Sony, Panasonic and Toshiba?
