can you use a tv as a monitor

Yes, all you need is a HDMI or VGA cable if your TV has a VGA port and your computer should recognize the screen, I would use HDMI cable though.

Yes. As long as the TV has the correct input jacks. Depending on the size of the TV's screen, the computer may not have the resolution ability to fill up the whole screen.

I think you would need a TV tuner, cable box, or satellite TV box with an HDMI output. Connect that output to the HDMI input on the monitor and it should work. I haven't actually tried this, however, so I can't say for sure.

Yes you can, providing that you are currently using HDMI connections between your computer and your monitor. I am using mine to switch between a PC, a Tivo box and a Roku box.

Yes you can use it for a monitor. It has a HD PC port on the rear to be hooked up to your CPU

In theory it would. As long as the TV has an HDMI port. It would act as a screen for the monitor.

Yes you can use this tv as a computer monitor. This is what i use my Seiki 32 inch for. I had this same question before i purchased this tv a year ago. Its well worth every penny.

Yes, it can. I am using one that way, just as a monitor with no recording. The camera will still need to be hooked up to a 12 volt power source and the TV will need to have an RCA type video input jack (often called a game input). While you are using the camera, you will not be able to watch the TV. Amazon has several video monitors available if you don't want to dedicate a TV for this purpose.

Yes you can, but as it does not have speakers, you'll have to use the TV speakers. The best alternative is to include a receiver and also speakers.

Yes, you could use this monitor as your primary computer monitor.........you would need to get a DVI to HDMI conversion switch.....plug the computer into the DVI side and the monitor to the HDMI side. I have read posts on other web sites where people have already hooked this monitor up to their computer and they love it.

Yes it can, as long as you're using an HDMI (since there is no cable ports on the monitor) I currently am using my 2nd one as a TV/computer monitor.

Given that there is no difference between a TV and a monitor other than size, you can easily calibrate a TV with it. You would of course have to be using the TV as a display for a computer in order to run the software though.

I bought this for use as a Karaoke monitor. to get it to work as a TV, I ordered a S-video to VGA converter box and ran S-video from my direct TV box to the new converter box and then VGA cord to the monitor. works great!

It doesn't matter what monitor you use. There are different cables and adaptors available. You can even hook it up to a TV.

Don't use it as a monitor, use it as a TV. Very clear, but a little dark and I can't figure out how to lighten it up enough. Also, for my uses, it is too small -- my fault.

yes you need a monitor or TV. you are supplied with an rca connection connection which hooks up to the Yellow RCA plug or video in RCA input on the backor front of your tv. no audio with this camera. Might want to make sure you have an available video input on your tv before ordering. I ordered a longer cable with mine and it hooks up easily.
