monitor hd

You are referring to Compaq V 7550 - 17" CRT Display?

If so, NO to HD, NO to 720p/1080p.

At best, you're looking at 28dpi for the monitor.

yes

is 720 (dpi)


how can it show small text and not hd

correction...after looking further into details....dot pitch .22mm not 28dpi.

HD 1080p resolution is 1920 x 1080, & 720p = 1280×720.  The monitor supports up to 1600 x 1200.  It'll fit 720pm, but you'll have alot of black space above and below the display view.  In addition, there is no built-in HD interface which will require you to get an HDMI / VGA adapter + digital converter....which is 1/2 the price of the monitor you are looking at.

You're better off getting an HD ready monitor which is built widescreen.

so if I watch a movie with the monitor
will it be in "high quality"

This is NOT a monitor that you want to use to view DVD movies.  Although you can watch it.

what makes a monitor better for watching movies
720p
1080i
1080

or is it the colors

or is it an "HD number"

thanks
