Can this be used as a monitor with Vista? I purchased an LG LED TV but when I tried to connect it to my computer the refresh was too slow. I could see my screen but it fluttered and showed 3 images. I am looking for a monitor not a TV.

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...

Some newer video cards have a MiniDisplay as an output option but not all are the same so it could work fine in theory but could also not. I would stay away if using a PC however. These displays are beautiful but not really worth the price/potential hassle for use with a PC.

Don't know about the Dell - 2 monitors , but the DVD with the monitor says it's compatible to Vista 32 and 64 bit. The only peculiarity is full screen is slightly elongated. Can adjust to normal screen by the menu buttons. However, normal screen has 2inch black area each side doing this. I don't mind the elongation unless viewing photos taken by me. Adjustments don't seem to have much effect ,up down whatever. Did some and screen was too bright , a little glare. But went to factory default and the picture is perfect. Color, brightness etc. Leaving it at this setting. The monitor is perfect for the use I have for it with normal day to day use. Oh...this monitor has speakers but I have others that I use instead. Someday I switch just to hear these . A cable for speakers comes with it.

I tried using a hd tv as a monitor once. Your choices of resolution are greatly narrowed. I personally don't recommend using a tv as a monitor system. But, yes the adapter should work just fine for the graphics but bear in mind dvi doesn't support sound. Since the computer has an hdmi port that cable would be better since hdmi supports digital sound.

It does have PC VGA connection for use as a computer monitor, but before you purchase check this site out it may help with your buying decision http://www.consumeraffairs.com/home_electronics/coby_electronics.html

I hope you can answer this for me. I'm planning on getting this tv due to the awesome reviews, but am curious about connecting it to my PC. My PC tower has the plug for what I'm thinking is called a VGA. It is blue and has 15 pin holes, 3 rows of five. Now, I figure I will have to purchase a special cord to use this tv as a monitor. I'm confused about which is VGA, DVI, and HDMI. What cord do I need to purchase so this will work as a monitor for me? Thanks in advance!

I plugged it into my Dell Laptop using the supplied cable (this means yes to VGA) - no problem at all, great, bright display. That's what I wanted, I never counted the other ports, suggest you read the specs.

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!

You can connect the computer to the Samsung and use the Samsung as your computer monitor, but if you have a video card in your computer set for a smaller resolution - and most all computers do not have 1980x1080 capability - then the smaller resolution video signal output by your computer will result in a less-than full-sized image on the Samsung.That's the theory anyway, I haven't tried it, and I don't believe the Sammy will up-convert the computer's VGA signal, but hopefully someone smarter than me will come along and correct me if I'm wrong.

Chuck - As far as I am concerned, the screen has a glossy finish. There is a very fine coating that I think LG may consider to be matte, but reflections are quite noticeable to me. So, I say glossy. As far as 'how many hertz' it has, it runs as a 60Hz display natively. Period. Anyone who reports differently is just missing the boat. The monitor reports its capabilities to Windows, and the specs are available to anyone who knows how to read. If it were an active 3D screen, it would have to run at 120Hz or higher, but passive 3D is fine at 60Hz. I've got absolutely no complaints to express about how it performs in either 3D or 2D with fast motion at all. As a final note, if you can work with a glossy screen, then I think this should be a great 2D and 3D monitor for you. That is, if 23 inches is big enough... &lt;WG&gt;

I think like AC, hardware proble. I use my 24" monitor and my tv. But i can use my display too. Press window key + P and choose duplicate or extend, than open the screen and you should have image in the display...

Can't use it as a monitor the way it is-doen't have a vga or dvi terminal. You will need to get a pc to tv converter to connect the vga output from a computer to the rca composite terminal on the tv.

Any suggestions for connecting my HP Pavilion dv6000 notebook to this TV? I know I can accomplish this through a VGA connection or S-Video connection, but I wanted to keep the connection digital quality. Thanks!
