Tv as monitor

[TyrantElf]

I got a 22" LED tv for $100, I'm using it as a monitor right now, but I was wondering if there is anything I should worry about. For $100, I figure I couldn't go wrong, and I've been looking at LED monitors and they all seem to be $130 and up. Was it a good buy. It was an upgrade from a 15" dell that was ancient (like10-15 years old), so the really wide screen is getting to me a little, but I figure this will get better with time.

 

Also, I have noticed GIMP and other programs actually "fit" on the screen without overlapping, WOOT!

 

NOTE: I'm currently running it in 1360*768 resolution because intel (who should stick to making processors) made my graphics card and they are so [developmentally delayed] that they make crappy graphics cards and don't make drivers for linux, so I'm stuck with it till I get my stuff for a build at christmas, and I can give my family back their 15" monitor, as they only surf the web.

It's not like it's going to blow up or anything. The tv probably isn't terribly good (or you got it real cheap) if it was $100, as I find most monitors are cheaper than TV's, but should be fine.
