This television has HDMI 1.4 inputs that can be connected to an appropriate computer. Yes, you can play movies on the television. The television has no WIFI inputs.

Yes, you can watch movies with this device. You need to have software on your computer that will play DVDs.

For this tv, I have actually never tried if it's able to connect to internet. I purchased a blue-ray player at the same time and that's how I get connected. I do want to mention the quality in picture and sound is outstanding!

This looks like it might be a useful forum to try. I have an older TV, works great, but it has the coax input. I want to display movies from my netbook on this TV. What I have tried so far: Used VGA male to 3 RCA female adapter, and ran these signals into an RF modulator, with coax output to the TV. Nothing happened. Anyone got any thoughts? Thanks!-Tom

I've only tried to access content via Amazon, Netflix or other streaming sites and not the internet. I don't think you can access websites unless you use the TV as just a monitor and hook it up to your computer.

I just got my TV a couple of days ago and have noticed that effect watching Blu-Rays or DVDs. Have you been able to resolve your problem?

You should definitely get an HDMI cable to connect them. HDMI allows for the best picture possible. When you receive this tv, you should try to use Netflix on it. That's how I discovered the issue with my tv. I tried watching a movie on Netflix and the TV shut off a few minutes into the movie. Now the TV shuts off randomly. Good luck!

Thanks Albert and A. Macharia. I'm a gal BTW... : ) I was able to use my HDTV as a monitor, but nothing more really. I bought the cable that you mentioned (A.) and I could watch Netflix, but the audio was still coming out of my laptop which wasn't fun. I ended up returning the cable to the Apple store and bought an Apple TV, but now downloading anything on that thing takes forever. Grrrrr...... Maybe it's time to bump up my wireless connection. IDK...

The computer I haven't tried it but the tv change the display to component, like if your watching cable, I just turn off my cable box and the tv is still on, just black and I can hear my music

Yes I do. You're able to search from any website. Stream any movie. With no hesitation slowdowns or delays. This computer is capable of doing anything I wanted to do. And with an external hard drive for additional movies and/or music you can't beat it

If this device will not provide high quality images from my laptop to my older (but wide screen) TV, what device would you recommend? I would like to play movies and stream video from my laptop through my TV. Thanks!!!

P.Hogan.. how do you stream BBC Acorn, Netflix and Amazon on your TV without going through a Blu-Ray or a Tivo?

Yes, I watched a program the other evening... Secrets of Henry VIIl Palace. It was a PBS Documentary billed as Super HD. The picture was outstanding.I have mine set up to receive Netflix wireless through a router connected to Charter Cable. We are pleased with the TV. Just need to push one button on the remote to be using Netflix.

I can access it through my wireless Blu ray DVD player since it is hooked up to my computer as an external hardrive and can view home movies that I have on there. Not sure if that answers your question, but that is the only way I have used it with wireless.

I understand now. However I can not help you with a connection to a computer. I use mine only as a TV, connected to my U-verse Gateway, Apple TV, DVD player and Polk stereo system. Has worked great for me for the past several years. No experience connecting to a computer. Why would you? Great TV set but can not understand why you would want it as another monitor... Sorry!
