If your computer has an HDMI port to connect to the TV. I found the VGA connection to be rather poor. But when i connected through the HDMI it was flawless.

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.

No problem with this TV. I also have the 40" and it is great from just about anywhere in the room.Samsung makes great stuff.

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.

Yes it can be used as a computer monitor. The manual has a section on how to set it up. Also, Best Buy charges a re-stocking fee for opened TVs, which I think is 15%.

Yes, this TV has a standard D-15 VGA port for use as a computer monitor and supports very high resolutions if you have a high end graphics card.

Very happy with it; at 1080p I can and do use it as a computer monitor. The trick is to turn off TV color controls and.put sharpness to zero. This way the video card does the adjustments. It is also great as a TV. No problems at all.

If I was buying this, I would not expect a monitor. I suggest that you check with the company selling the computer.

It's a monitor not a HDTV. There is no refresh rate. Response time is 5ms(GTG), which is somewhat equal to 240HZ refresh rate.

Avi Farah, A computer with an HDMI will connect up to 1080p resolution. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

I looked up this HDTV on Toshiba's website and they list it as being 60Hz. The 40L2400U is the 120Hz version of this tv.

We are using it as a computer monitor. Not sure if it could be used as a TV or not.

That's what I do and I'm happy with the resolution. Obviously, the quality of the TV's image is the limiting factor. Don't expect the picture to be the same as one of those beautiful (and expensive) Apple monitors. HDMI vs. FIREWIRE? I don't know the specs.

Sari, It's best to connect your computer directly to the television with the HDMI cable. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

LCD is old technology. Suggest you look for LED HDTV. Very thin and light. Got a 24 inch LG led tv last black Friday, which also used as computer monitor.

Andrew, I don't game on this TV and the screen refresh rate is only 60Hz not 120Hz so maybe not.

I apologize I am not computer savvy. It does what I want as a monitor for my computer. The screen is large enough for my space and very clear. So, once again I do apologize for not knowing any more about the monitor. Sincerely Marcia W.
