Using the TV as PC monitor: Has anyone been using this TV as a PC monitor?

I have hooked it up to my PC and it looked fantasic. The resolution is the same as yours IIRC. Check you VGA cable, it almost sounds like it is too long or it is bad. It should look really nice when you have it working right. Also check to see how old your video card is, older cards may have trouble since it is an odd resolutions. Check the manuf web site to see if there are updated drivers. Ernie

Unless a monitor has a TV tuner I don't see how (or why) it would have HDCP support. This technology would be in the PC itself, not the monitor.

Has anyone tried this yet? Thinking of getting this tv and this info would help me decide.

I have done that, but my monitor is an old Sanyo flat screen television, that my wife bought for $5, at a rummage sale. But, most of the recent monitors can be used as a television, or visa versa, if they are both digital. If Your monitor is digital, I believe it will hook up. The main thing is 'digital' to digital, and the equal connections. I am not a pro at this stuff, but will share my experience's if I can. Mason!!

I use the TV as a monitor everyday with the computer through an HDMI cable.

Yes, to the first two, I don't watch movies on my pc. I do gaming a lot and both my wife and I have this monitor. Very pleased and would recommend it. Good luck.

I had an overscan problem with this set as well with PC to HDMI and the soulution was using the VGA PC input. I know HDMI sounds like a better choice but in this case it is not. With the HDMI port I was only getting something like 1768 x 992 resolution and text was a TINY bit blurred. But with the VGA input I'm getting tne full 1920 x 1080 resolution with no overscan and the images it produces are clearer. Try for yourself!

The Samsung B350 Series T27B350ND 27" Screen Led-lit Monitor can be used as a monitor or as a TV. I am using mine as an extra TV. The S27B350 can only be used as a monitor. I have this one also, but can only use it as a PC monitor. I should have spent the extra few dollars and bought another T27B350 instead. The TV has a beautiful picture and we enjoy it, Tom

Your TV still has to be capable of handling the resolution of the PC's output. For example, if the PC output is 1080p and your TV cannot handle that video resolution, it will not work.

As it happens, Janice... ...My Amazon review of this TV happens to be titled "A Great Computer Display (That's Also A Top TV)" (!) ...BUT... ...That usage is absolutely dependent on it being correctly cabled from the computer in question. The easiest and best connection is via HDMI, as on the latest Macs. Failing that, the display outputs of older systems will require external converter "active dongles" from those display ports to HDMI or (less conveniently) to the 3 RCA sockets of the "Component AV In" sockets on the TV's back panel. Either option will result in a good quality graphics display, with the HDMI inputs being by far the better option as they truly yield "state of the art" resolution.

I use the TV for my computer monitor, that's what I purchased it for. I do play a couple of online games and the response time and colors are super. I passed on a couple of cheaper TV's because I didn't know the names, but Toshiba is a product that has been around many years and it works well.

Hi George. I'm not an expert on monitors, but I just had my tech guy install the LG monitor on the wall behind my desk, and once I figured out how to set it up to its native resolution, it looked great. My tech guy didn't address the issue of whether it was a true monitor or a TV, but I've been very happy with it so far.

I swear that I had a discussion about this (some thread somewhere else) ... either way, my problems have been fixed by switching to another TV (Hannspree 42") i'll try to find the thread and post it here

I am running the cable straight from my desktop PC across the room to my Sony flat screen w/o a booster. I have not experienced any problems thus far. Picture is clear, bright, and w/o degradation. I'm guessing that equipment types may be a source of any reported problems; For what it's worth, I am using a PNY NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 Graphics card.
