Computer Monitors actually have higher resolutions than HD TV's. Also, you have to make sure that there is a VGA port on the back of any TV used with a computer. You probably would be better off buying a less expensive 24" or even 26" Computer Monitor and then using a HD TV for TV viewing only.

I have not hooked it up as a monitor but I will tell you this. The remote I had stopped working in a month, programing the t.v. is a bit confusing and worst of all - the sound is terrible. However if the remote works and you have a nice sound system it is nice to watch.

Not beyond setting it up. You have to configure the thing. Once that's done,no you do not. Oncecconnected to the TV and turned on it will show up as an external monitor. TV must be setto pproper HDMI input and visit launched on the 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...

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%.

It only has a VGA and a VDI port, make sure you have the compatible video output on the cable box, plus it does not have speakers.

No, this is a new computer to old monitor gadget. There are vga to hdmi boxes on Amazon to do the old computer/new TV trick, i have the etekcity version and it works well.

I am assuming you mean inputs, the inputs are PC monitor, 1 USB, 1 HDMI, Antenna, Analog Video & Left & Right Audio, Component Y Pb Pr (Red-Green-Blue), PC/DVI Audio, Headphones Out and Digital Audio Coaxial Out. I think it has a quite nice picture and the speaker sound is a little tinny but not bad for as small a TV as it is. I am quite happy with it.

No, unfortunately it does not. It is a very basic monitor. A good monitor to start with though.

This TV has PC input(RGB) and 3 HDMIs(most computers these days have HDMI)so you can use this with most computers but the ones with DVI(you would have to get a DVI to HDMI adapter). So you can use this with computers

No! This unit has a VGA connection for a computer monitor or TV with a PC input. It also has a BNC connector for a TV but not sure how the BNC cable/wire would connect to the TV.

Yes. I have my computer via the hdmi output connected to my 42" TV. Sound and picture is great.

Tv's just aren't made to run like computers. However, I use mine and I don't have any issues with its performance. It's runs just like I expected a tv should.

Using HDMI, yes. However, since computer monitors aren't designed for TV viewing, you may not get the quality of an HD TV.

It does have the ability if your computer does, I connect my laptop with the hdmi and tv shows what is on my computer. Does just fine.
