Yes you can! My MacBook Pro 13inchs screen recently broke so I got a VGA adapter, hooked it up to my TV & it worked.

Yes, you could use this monitor as your primary computer monitor.........you would need to get a DVI to HDMI conversion switch.....plug the computer into the DVI side and the monitor to the HDMI side. I have read posts on other web sites where people have already hooked this monitor up to their computer and they love it.

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

You would need a video card with a Thunderbolt output or a converter. Rest assured the DP port is output only, and you cannot connect it to a PC via DisplayPort.

This review describes in detail using it as a monitor:http://www.amazon.com/review/R2YO8O6I8UOJ6V/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B003LPUWWM&nodeID;=&tag;=&linkCode;=

Yes, using VGA adapter or HDMI output. It's a good picture. The stand is a little flimsy. If your desk is not stable, this big monitor shakes pretty easily.

I don't have it hooked as monitor but I bet it could be. you can use it like a computer and surf net without computer ..with just your DSL. Go to Samsumg site they have all kinds of help with questions and live chat.

I believe so, but the quality will be poor. Given the high quality of the monitor, it would make sense to spring for a DVI or HDMI video card if your computer can handle it.

No. Plug it into a computer and the monitor will only function at 60hz. If it were a 120hz device, it would actually run at 120hz.

Yes you can. You can use it either as an HDMI or using RCA cables. I have both set up. enjoy.

yes you can, but you will need to use the HDMI input otherwise you will have to use the audio ports on the computer.

Yes it can be used as a computer monitor. The manual has a section on how to set it up. Also, Best Buy charges a re-stocking fee for opened TVs, which I think is 15%.

Yes you can. I use it with my desktop because the monitor I have did not have speakers. You have to use an available USB port and make sure that USB sound device drivers are installed. This speaker can be loud. It was well worth it.

Yes--as long as your computer can accept an HDMI input. Most computers would have only an HDMI output.

Although it could be used for some games a monitor with a HDMI connector would work much better, unfortunately this particular monitor comes only with a VGA connector. The video adapter on your computer will determine the visual quality for gaming. I hope this helps!
