I am using 23 inch HD Cinema as main monitore. specs for Soyo http://www.soyo.com/products/proddesc.php?id=337 Any help is appreciated.

One 2Gb Pro, 2 Pb, 15&12, a 2Gb dual G5, 1.42 Mini, 1Gb eMac, Mac OS X (10.4.1)

In my opinion, 99.9% of TV monitors make lousy computer monitors due to their relatively low resolution. If you'll look a the specs for the Soyo model you linked to, you'll see the ONLY resolution setting is 1366 x 768 ... pretty low for critical computer work.

In comparison, Apple's 23" Cinema Display and Dell's 24" has up to 1920 x 1200 and Apple's 30" is up to 2560 x 1600.
