Hello all, my son is possibly getting this TV for PC streaming and playing Xbox Battlefield 4, etc. So does his TV have a PC input?

It has three HDMI inputs. Most video cards come with either HDMI or DVI (which can be converted from HDMI). If converting to DVI, they will need another way to get sound to the TV or another speaker system. I did not see that it has a VGA connection, but most people do not use them now, especially on video game machines.

I have been trying to get this to work for awhile and have been unsuccessful. I bought the $40 VGA cable and hooked it up to the TV with a seperate audio cable (headphone jacks) and put the external monitor setting on the PC and I still cannot change the source to PC on the TV. It claims that the source options will only become available when those inputs are hooked up to something......well I am definetely hooked up to my computer and the TV is not taking a signal????? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, its still worth it, its still I awesome piece of hardware. I personally dont really use the game streaming feature a lot, but I love the attention it gets me in public. People are always like wow what are you playing on.

The TV has PC/VGA input, you can also connect to HDMI if your PC/mobo has HDMI. The res. is good, its comparable to 24"/28" (1920x1200) res. monitors. All 30" LCD monitor has higher resolution than this TV, they have 2560x1600 compare that to 1080P's 1920x1080 res. Also, widescreen PC monitors are 16x10.

It does not have an HDMI in, nor is there any provision for sound playback. It is not capable of showing a TV signal unless you invest in some adapter hardware. But at that point, you might as well buy an inexpensive TV.

Micheal Meyer is correct. Mine works fine at 1080P over VGA from the 360. Just got to get rid of the not supported message. See my reply to the post "X-Box 360 1080p doesnt work with this TV"

Would any of you who own this TV please speak up your experience? I'm considering a buy until seeing this thread. Please help. Thanks. Luan

I am assuming you mean inputs, the inputs are PC monitor, 1 USB, 1 HDMI, Antenna, Analog Video & Left & Right Audio, Component Y Pb Pr (Red-Green-Blue), PC/DVI Audio, Headphones Out and Digital Audio Coaxial Out. I think it has a quite nice picture and the speaker sound is a little tinny but not bad for as small a TV as it is. I am quite happy with it.

I was going to buy it for PC gaming but wont if Hz cant adjust. Isnt it true that all new LED TVs can auto set to whatever the games fps (60 or 120Hz) is?

Yeah. I use it exclusively for gaming. Works pretty good. What do I play? BF3, 4, Hawken, CoDs, Crysis 2, 3 and some UT3. For something that's 20 bucks, it aint bad. If it breaks, I'll just go buy another one. I use a Logitech EX110 for work purposes. What's my game stuff? Intel i7 3770 cpu, Asus P8z77-V LK motherboard, WD 2.5 Velociraptor HDD, XFX HD7950 gpu, G.Skill 16gb 19200 ram, Corsair RM750 psu, Corsair H100i liquid cooler.

I would NEVER recommend this brand/tv, ours stopped working three months after purchase. I was told and lied to by several reps they would replace free of charge(never happened)however when it did work we had our Xbox 360 hooked up and that was a streaming device.....We used Netflix with it...So I assume a streaming playing such as a roku would work.

Allan, Thanks for the input. Could you clarify which TV you bought?Did you try utilizing the DLNA to connect to a PC and play movies off the PC?What are your views on the quality of the TV's picture/sound/color...etc?

The TV has 5 inputs: HDMI(1), HDMI(2), Video, Component, and a serial PC monitor jack. I only use HDMI(1) and HDMI(2). Here's how I have mine setup. All digital (HDMI and optical) audio and video outputs go to my Surround amp which has multiple HDMI, optical and analog inputs. The single HDMI output of my Surround amp goes into HDMI(1) of the TV. Digital output components going into the surround amp are: DVD, Playstation2 (Blue-Ray player), satellite TV receiver, and desktop PC optical audio output. All analog output audio devices (2 CD players, phono turntable, and 6 reel-to-reel tape decks) go into selectable inputs on my analog pre-amp. The single output of the pre-amp then goes to the surround amp as an analog connection. The only thing missing is the HDMI video output of the PC which goes to HDMI(2) of the TV (this allows me to listen to music and use the computer at the same time). I don't know what "Soundbar" is, but if is has digital or analog audio output it will work. The TV is fantastic - - buy it.

There are several ways of connecting a PC to theTV. You can use RG or HDMI. Read the Sharp operator manual for this TV, page 44.
