If you hook a computer to this TV, will it function as a primary monitor? Want to use at a convention to show a powerpoint.

Yes, I currently have a laptop hooked up to it because the laptop's screen is cracked. It has a PC input.

yes it does work as a computer monitor using the vga hookup as well as the hdmi ... I hoped that helped you out ...

The TV can be used as a primary monitor. You will need to change the input source on the TV and have your computer connected via the appropriate video input (there are several options). There is also audio input capability if your PowerPoint includes audio too. I have hooked up my notebook and run slideshows using this model TV. Results were acceptable.

yes, it basically turns your TV in to a 2nd monitor on your computer. It displays and has an audio jack. Do not expect HD or optimum sound from this but it does work well.

Yes. Your television will show whatever is on the PC's screen when connected.

It never worked for me, so idk. I'd imagine that the computer would still see a DP, and the monitor an HDMI. All the converter is doing is moving pins around.

I bought this for use as a Karaoke monitor. to get it to work as a TV, I ordered a S-video to VGA converter box and ran S-video from my direct TV box to the new converter box and then VGA cord to the monitor. works great!

I tested this by pulling the power cord from the back while it is tied into my computer via DVI connection, waited a moment and then plugged it back in. It came back on to the same input to what I was viewing on the computer screen. So I would say it will do what you want based on this.Good Luck

If the monitor is a desk setup, I would use an USB to DVI adapter. This works for conference room projection in my mind.

Yes It will connect to your computer to the TV. I have tried that as well tried to connect computer to projector as well. I did not had any issue.

It can mirror your computer monitor so as far as I know yes. If power point is on your screen then it will be projected if it is connected to this projector.

Computer Yes (it uses a VGA connection). Very good resolution for PowerPoints.No USB connection.

Yes you can, but you need an adaptor, i believe this monitor only uses MiniDisplay port. Common PC monitor uses HDMI, VGA, and DVI connections. Unless you have some of the newer Video Cards that have MiniDisplay port out then, you'll have to buy a seperate adaptor to work.

I felt I had to add that this device is for TV's that do not have the capability of computer hook-up, such as yours has. Also, if you have a desktop system, most monitors come with the vga to dmi adapter, or maybe you know someone with an extra.

I've never tried using it with a PC monitor; but if you have the ability to convert the RCA connection, I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work. I'm not home right now; but when I get there, I'll look in the box or on the installation cd to see if says anything about it. Give me till this evening, and I'll check it out.

Ello Peter ... there's a toggle switch on the front of the monitor ... which honestly I've never used, as I've only ever had one device with it. I've either had my PC plugged into the DVI port - or - now - currently - I'm using it as a short term solution till I figure out which tv I'm going to purchase next. Thanks.

VGA and Power Cord only. This is a nice little monitor but it's only the size of most laptops. I use it with a Netbook and it's wonderful. Otherwise, depending on where and how you want to use it... might want to consider a small LCD monitor that can also double as a TV etc.. good luck.

Can this be used to hook up a laptop computer? (I have a laptop that works but with a broken monitor. I'm thinking this might be a passable -- I don't have high hopes for "great," but it might be passable -- solution until I can get the laptop fixed?Could I either connect this with a standard monitor plug or with one of my laptop's USB ports?Thanks.
