How do I transform the TV into a PC monitor, with VGA cables, VGA cables with audio or with an HDMI cable?

I've used it with a Mac Mini using both HDMI and VGA (need male to male VGA cable and Apple's VGA adaptor). VGA worked best - you could accommodate audio with an inexpensive stereo mini-jack to RCA Y cable - I did not.

you don't; vga doesn't carry audio. it's not like hdmi. does your monitor have built-in speakers? if so, then there will be a line-in (aka auxiliary, 3.5mm, 1/8", etc.) input which looks exactly like a headphone jack, except that sound goes into it instead of out of it. in that case, you'll need an rca to 3.5mm cable or adapter. if your monitor doesn't have speakers, then just route your rca cables to your sound system. i hope that helps.

If your VGA input is really Component (Y - Pr - Pb) use it instead of the inferior "S" cable.If you have HDMI use it as it is the best input of all. Remember if you feed this superior TV garbage that's what your going to see. Good luck

My television will do either DMI or VGA. The computer hard drive itself also has jacks obviously for both connections If you wanted to run 2 monitors off of it. One jack for each type. Hope this helps!

you get the av cable and plug it in to the TV then plug the converter in to a power supply then plug the "VGA in" into your computer and then make sure the white switches on the side are correctly switched you may need to mess with them a little, then also use the buttons to calibrate it. Then it is done but its not very high definition so don't get your hopes up.

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.

no you would still need a convertor to convert the analog vga signal to the hdmi digital signal, this cable cannot do it alone without a convertor or a very limited type of vga card that converts it for you

Hello, the answer to your question is that the monitor is not a TV. The monitor has no Tuner to receive TV signal. You can use the monitor for your PC. It has a VGA port and a HDMI port. For more information you can visit www.lg.com and search the product.

I have both HDMI and VGA connections on my HDTV, but the VGA didn't work until I bought a VGA/HDMI converter box. They're not expensive (mine was $10) I have an older Dell tower that's been refurbished but didn't have the HDMI connection, so the converter box was an inexpensive way to go.

Im sure either a VGA or a DVI would do the trick. I have a dvi connecting my PC to my 120Hz HDTV and it works swimminginly

pug it into usb on pc or usb charger and hook it up like a monitor to your pc you can use a monitor and the converter at the same time for presentation plug it into the yellow on your tv or s video

Buy a vga to DVI-D adapter and a DVI-D cable. Do not use a vga to HDMI cable with wide gamut monitor.

There are several ways of connecting a PC to theTV. You can use RG or HDMI. Read the Sharp operator manual for this TV, page 44.

The computer has a VGA and DVI output. So if your Tv has a VGA input run a VGA cable from the back of the Tv to the computer or do what I did and buy a DVI to HDMI cable if your Tv has HDMI input on it.

I have been trying to get this to work for awhile and have been unsuccessful. I bought the $40 VGA cable and hooked it up to the TV with a seperate audio cable (headphone jacks) and put the external monitor setting on the PC and I still cannot change the source to PC on the TV. It claims that the source options will only become available when those inputs are hooked up to something......well I am definetely hooked up to my computer and the TV is not taking a signal????? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm wondering the same thing. You can get component video to VGA converters but that will only convert the signal at the same resolution, so it depends on whether this monitor will support resolutions like 480i and 480p. Does anyone know???
