Unfortunately, you will not be able to do so for two reasons1. This monitor requires two USBs (one for power and the other for more power and the signal)2. This monitor requires DisplayLink drivers which are only available for Mac, PC, and a couple variations of Linux as far as I now

HI Joe, you will be able to use it as a webcam if your computer's OS is Windows XP or below. Thanks_Mitch

Yes you can use it as a monitor for internet content, Office, Excel documents, etc. However, you will need a graphics card installed in your computer for any gaming or Photoshop work.

Hi jstevens, no the camera doesn't have the capability for live display to an external monitor. You can only use the a/v out port for playback on a TV. Thanks_Mitch

The Vado HD outputs in 1080i through the HDMI cable. From my tests it appears to be for both live and playback video. Therefore if your PC has a HDMI input it should be possible to use it as a webcam, allowing you to record as well. The only "problem" I see is that you cannot remove the text that you see on the screen (e.g. time left).

This is a display module, so it doesn't really detect anything. But if you want to display black and white, you can certainly do so. The display is accessed using SPI, so you can't just connect a TV or other video source, you have to actually program a microcontroller (like an Arduino) to do the display.

I use it to project photos on the wall for tracing (I am an artist). I darken my room and have no problems with the display. Sorry, but I do not use it for gaming or movies.

I don't think this would be the best product for that purpose, I would imagine the best solution would be to simply run some video cable from the laptop to just another screen instead of another pc if at all possible. Best of luck on your search.

Not sure of your question, but as long as I've been in business I've never seen a webcam that can't be used for the purposes you described although I want to be sure I know what "access the webcam for home photos and videos" means to you.

No, I don't believe this would work, if i understand you correctly. It sounds like you want to be able to use the camera with the computer, and the vga port in the back of the computer is for outgoing signals and not incoming ones. You might try an adapter card (pci or pcie depending on the age of your system) or an external usb adapter if you're using a laptop which allows incoming video signals. As a very easy way to accomplish this, I've used a product called EasyCap, available here at Amazon in many different forms and for a range of prices.

I also would like to know the answer to this... Can the Vado HD be used as a webcam/streaming video if you connect it to an HDMI port or a display port with HDMI adapter on a PC?

If your PC has an HDMI output you can. Alternatively, you can purchase a USB to HDMI display adapter online that will also work well.

no webcam. It is just the internal screen. It may fit, but depends on the wire harness along the side of the monitor.

I have two dell monitors - they don't have a built in web cam. But... I'm not sure about the 1740FPTT is what I have.

Really wouldn't know how to test for that. There are a lot of color calibration options so i can't imagine you would have a problem. This is really a game-changing monitor, its that large and hi-res.
