Has anyone used this as a computer monitor?

This TV has PC input(RGB) and 3 HDMIs(most computers these days have HDMI)so you can use this with most computers but the ones with DVI(you would have to get a DVI to HDMI adapter). So you can use this with computers

Yes, I use it as a second extended monitor next to a laptop at my office (and sometimes alone as the only screen by turning off the laptop monitor and only using the Seiki because it is much nicer than the laptop monitor and way better audio. Mine is connected to the laptop PC via hdmi cable. The picture is great and I was really surprised by how great the audio quality is. With the exception of a very high end 55" LG smart TV I own, this one is by far the one with the best audio quality out of about 7 other HD TV's I own at my home and office. I bought it for the design look, but was surprised to find all around it is very high quality, so I bought a second for home just to use as a TV and streaming video via a roku stick connected to a usb port in the back of it. I love mine.

Yes, I paired it up with another brand monitor. Not sure what brand though. Need to have a special connector for the back of your computer. Not sure about what that is either, My IT guy did it for me.

Yes! It makes a great monitor, I have my computer hooked up via HDMI cable. Thats all you'll need.

Yes you can use this as a monitor. Just plug your source HDMI cable from the instruement you wish to provide the audio/video programming from into one of the multiple HDMI input plugs, then be sure to select the proper 'source' from the remote.

I've never tried using it with a PC monitor; but if you have the ability to convert the RCA connection, I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work. I'm not home right now; but when I get there, I'll look in the box or on the installation cd to see if says anything about it. Give me till this evening, and I'll check it out.

I have not hooked it up as a monitor but I will tell you this. The remote I had stopped working in a month, programing the t.v. is a bit confusing and worst of all - the sound is terrible. However if the remote works and you have a nice sound system it is nice to watch.

You can set it up to do that, but I haven't. I really like using the monitor.

Yes we have installed quite a few, The NIT ratio on them is not bad for the price. It can get washed out a bit if there is a bright dome light close to the monitor

I always use it as a monitor when im watching movies or skyping with the family. Works perfectly. I use the DIV to VGA from my mac and it is awesome.

Yes, it works fine. I use this as a second monitor with my lap-top. You'll need high-resolution video and I use the HDMI interface. Gary

No. But this is one excellent monitor. I would have bought two of them if I knew how good it was, and at the time, I purchased it for $250. Wish I had now.

Since there is only a single VGA input then no this monitor cannot "double" as a TV and computer use. It may be possible to convert the TV output to VGA (not sure how) but then you have to be disconnecting and reconnecting cables when going from TV to computer. Most people would not consider this as double duty. Due to the problems with vertical viewing angle though, I would not recommend this monitor for TV viewing as the picture degrades pretty severely off-axis.

No, I used my existing monitor. It is packed with a key board and mouse. I am very pleased with this USA computor.

I haven't tried it, but I assume it would display video just fine. However, there isn't a speaker on the monitor, so you wouldn't get audio through it.

I hooked up my PC, picture is great, basically i use it as a monitor, because i have cable box, dvd, sound surround system and PC, everything connected with HDMI cables. I have no complains. Good luck!

Hi Gordon, yes, you can. Just connect the HDMI cable to your computer for you to use it as a monitor. Thanks_Mitch
