    Using 32" lcd TV as a monitor


    I am thinking about using a LCD TV as a montor only. I have never done this so I would ask the group their pro/con on this issue.

    Thanks

    none really. response time might be a little on the slow side, depends on the TV quality.

    I used to use a samsung 32" LED tv for a monitor and had 0 issues, i only changed monitors as it was far to big to be sat about 12" away from lol

    OK thanks for your answer. I have 1 other thing I neglected to put in my question and
    it is the video card & cables.

    My system has the generic ATI Raedon HD 3200 card and HDMI and VGA ports. I think the card is OK but the wiring I'm not sure of what to use. I suppose it depends on the TV but what cables do you use.

    HDMI transmits HD sound and video, VGA transmits only analog video; which is poorer quality.

    Is the ATID Raedon HD 3200 built onto the motherboard or is it a PCI card?

    I have a machine hooked up via HDMI/motherboard to a 32 inch tv and it works just fine. My machine is a dual core 3.something processor and 4 GB of RAM.

Hi all, This issue really bugs me, every few months it'll happen, one of my three screens (9/10 times it's the Acer), will display as a "Generic Non-PnP Monitor", with this it'll only display in 640*480 (usually 1920*1080, same as the other 2 screens). This set up works perfectly most of the...
Some backstory: just one month ago, I started to think of what will be the other use of our TV and it's HDMI cable.
