yes it can this tv is my computer monitor, i have it hooked up via HDMI from tv into my video card but if you only have a VGI in your computers rear end you can get an adapter from VGI to HDMI on here for cheap and it sure looks lovely

I'm using mine for a monitor. I have a Dell laptop and had to push Fn and F8 to get it to work. Thank goodness for google. Don't know if I'd have found that info anywhere else. Folks at Vizio didn't know.

Late response but yes, I also use this as a second monitor. Not to be used by the serious gamer as a primary of course, but it is nice to have extended desktop.

There is no HDMI port on this monitor. It should only be used with computer.

The answer is "No" to both of your questions. This is a monitor, not a television. A television has a built-in tuner so it can take signals (from an antenna or cable) and display it on the screen. A monitor only displays what is fed to it from a source (could be a computer, DVD player, Blu-Ray player, etc.) If your computer can receive a signal from an antenna, then this monitor would be able to display it. But in general, think of a monitor as a dumb device -- it just displays what is fed to it...

I have done that, but my monitor is an old Sanyo flat screen television, that my wife bought for $5, at a rummage sale. But, most of the recent monitors can be used as a television, or visa versa, if they are both digital. If Your monitor is digital, I believe it will hook up. The main thing is 'digital' to digital, and the equal connections. I am not a pro at this stuff, but will share my experience's if I can. Mason!!

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.

Presuming you have a VGA port on both the computer and the monitor. Considering it is the most common type of connection for computers and monitors, it's safe to assume you can.

YES! This LED can be used as a computer monitor. This is what I'm using it for, and for my PS4. This has got to be one of the least expensive 29" LED in its class, the image from the PC is crisp, and clear. Multiple people use the PC including my nieces from time-to-time when they come over and nobody has ever had any issue with the image quality. The LED is connected to an Acer A8-5500 processor, with 10gb memory and the original video card (on-board video) -- so no high end video and absolutely NO issues with it whatsoever. We don't play high FPS rated games, mostly Minecraft and it works great for that. YES! This LED can be used as a computer monitor. This is what I'm using it for, and for my PS4.

Yes it can, as long as you're using an HDMI (since there is no cable ports on the monitor) I currently am using my 2nd one as a TV/computer monitor.

Hello. Yes, with a little ingenuity, you can use this monitor to display picture from any gaming system that uses an analog audio/video output (red, white, and yellow RCA's). You will need to provide power to this monitor using a +12v power source such as a 12v sealed lead-acid battery or "Gel Cell".

You would need some sort of cable box. This monitor is only a screen sourced by RCA cables - think of it kind of like a computer screen.

Yes you can, providing that you are currently using HDMI connections between your computer and your monitor. I am using mine to switch between a PC, a Tivo box and a Roku box.

You could use it for a pc monitor but it may be a little bit large for that. Toshiba has a good web site that shows the back clearly and it has a pc input port. us.toshiba.com/tv/led/32l2200u/

You cannot hook up a regular monitor to it because it is an ip cam. Best thing you can do for a monitor is having a tablet with an ip cam app.

You have to put it in HDMI-for use as a computer monitor.Other HDMI inputs,won't work.Check your tv,owner manual,on input devices.Another thing is,is that you hook everything up,before you turn on your computer,otherwise it will show wrong format,on your tv screen.
