Anyone use the 40" as a PC monitor?

I do, I have it set up using a 30 ft HDMI cable ran under the floor, my PC runs dual monitor set up typically. Whenever I want to watch a movie or something I go in and set the 3rd monitor (the TV) up to duplicate my screen... Blinks Once and the TV is my monitor.. Proceed to watching TV.. GREAT SET.. I use it for 360 and PS3 as well. Buy the Squaretrade 4 year warranty like me and you have nothing to worry about.

I use it from a laptop to a 42". Great picture. As long as your HDMI output is good and your screen is at least 1080p, it should be good.

I have never actually used it. Waiting to get a monitor for the desktop (previous monitor disappeared when moving).

I'm running at 1920x1080. It has a full HD screen. The viewing angles are great as well.

I use the BenQ specifically for PC gaming. It works great. I'm very happy with the purchase. I have a 3 monitor setup with the BenQ in the middle and a couple cheaper monitors for the outside. I can definitely tell the different in quality.

Yes, I have used this for computer detail work (web design, photo editing etc) and been very happy with the resolution/view. I have also used it to view movies and other streaming video from 8-10 feet away and at various angles with no problem what so ever. Would definately buy it again.

I have been pleased with this monitor. I use it for Indesign and Photoshop. I can pretty easily match the monitor color to my output device for consistent pleasing color. I have had this monitor about 8 months and use it in a dual monitor set up in Windows 8.1.

I do a fair amount of XLS, PPT, Word, Access...as well as dev work (VisualStudio, JDeveloper, etc..) I have 2 of these side-by-side driven by an old ATI Radeon 4800 and they work great. Color/bright/consistency is good & love the thin(-ish) bezels.

Yes HS50M, looking at the back of mine now for reference. Spectacular monitor built like a workhorse.

This is a bona fide 23" monitor. I like the brightness and sharpness very much, it works well for me for watching movies while lounging on my bed, when connected to my Asus UL30A laptop via the included VGA cable. The HDMI setup has been cumbersome and I may scrap it altogether. Sound via the UL30A' s built in speakers is good/loud enough, that it may not be worthwhile to waste a 1/2 hour figuring it out. Anyway, I got the 15' cable for ~6 bucks, so no big deal.

I agree and disagree.. I plugged mine in HDMI, same thing; DVI on the other hand lines up perfectly. This works out cause my r9 270 gfx card has HDMI, VGA, and DVI so my HDMI is empty for my 42 inch ;). But, I think you would have to manually stretch the screen through the irritating menu. For people who haven't gotten this yet, its not that bad; they just don't label the buttons. But if you can't navigate through a monitor screen, well you shouldn't be using a computer lol.. Great monitor so far!

Yeah, it's great. It's not 4k or 120Hz or something, but I have three of these doing eyefinity, and everything looks beautiful. 10/10 would recommend for gamers

I am currently running this monitor on Mavericks at 60 Hz with full 4K resolution. There is scaling available in system preferences.

I have used mine as a computer monitor on several occasions. The picture is not as crisp as my regular Dell computer monitors.

Well, I only have the 32 inch model (bought it a few weeks ago) and have to say I really like it. I only use it for TV watching so not sure how it would look with high-end games. Have to say that I watched "Avatar" the other day and it looked crisp, vibrant, sharp on the 32-incher.

Yes. I'm using it with a 24" monitor on it and use it for general office work.

I currently use this monitor for my dual set-up and have a friend who is utilizes it for a triple monitor setup. I have no complaints and neither does he, although finding ports for all the inputs into my computer was a hassle, but that's a problem with the PC not the monitors. Solid product for what you'd be looking to do I imagine
