Panasonic Viera Can this also be used as a PC monitor? No one has mentioned this at all, so I was just wondering. I purchased a 24 inc. LG monitor 5 weeks ago, and the print is too fuzzy for me to read. My old Sansung Monitor was much better. I know that smaller pixels make for sharper picture. Also the monitor doesn't swivel, so I am looking directly at the screen. This was purchased at Best Buy on my charge. Do you think I can still return it, as I am not pleased for the $229 I paid for it? Panasonic Viera Can this also be used as a PC monitor? No one has mentioned this at all, so I was just wondering.

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%.

How does the Viera X1 compare to the X85 that is rated tops in consumer reports?

Looking for warranty info in the manufacturer's tech specs for this model, I found none. However, there is also no mention of analog audio out as there is in Amazon's listing. The manufacturer's list is more likely the accurate one. The lack of analog audio out may be a problem for folks wanting external speakers but lacking a digital audio equipped amp or receiver. http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/Televisions/All-VIERA-Flat-Panel-HDTVs/model.TC-L26X1.S_11002_7000000000000005702#tabsection

I know this was a few months ago, but you can adjust the font size (text size) on your computer. You can make it as big as you need. There's no reason to fork over hundreds more dollars just because 'the print is too fuzzy'??

According to the .pdf manual available on Panasonic's website, there's a 1 year parts and labor warranty for carry-in service (no in-home service warranty on TVs up to 37 inches).

AB I called Amazon and they couldn't find any warranty on this 26: Panasonic. or any warranty on an LG 23". Has anyone rec'd either of these TV's and found a warranty in the package????

I received a manufacturer's warranty in my LG 23" box from Best Buy. It covers the product for 36 months from date of original purchase.

You can't connect to this monitor with those kinds of signal ports. The monitor only has one analog input ("VGA") and the other is the high-performance input, direct digital ("HDMI").You have:Line out video (this is called "composite video")S-video out (step above composite)Component video out (this is Red, blue, & green with sync, better than S-video).If you wish to use a PC LCD monitor for general purpose video then you'll have to spend the extra money to get one with the composite and/or component video inputs. I know one 23.6" (or is it 24"?) LG model handles this, near $300. You can't connect to this monitor with those kinds of signal ports.

I use the monitor in a 2 monitor setup with no problems. The main thing that I had to look out for is I am using the Intel 2000 graphics card which only has a HDMI and VGA output. The LG uses the HDMI so I had to make sure the 2nd monitor could use the VGA.

Have been watching this as well. Look at the ratings. I own one and its the best LCD on the market at the moment IMHO. The lowest price I have seen here at Amazon was $2940.00 USD a while back. Which is what I got it for. Since folks have been buying it, and the ratings continue to be 4.75+ stars, the price has been creeping up towards what the local BB and CC are charging for it ($3800+ in my area). I think once the 71 and 81 series hit the streets, this one will drop for sure. But until that time, this one is top dog, at least in my house. The picture maxed out in 1080P will just blow you away!!

Todd, I am sorry to say that I returned the monitor 3 days after I received it. I'm a heating & air conditioning contractor. I wanted a 32" screen to be able to see a larger portion of a mechanical plan all at one time. I have two 21" monitors. I replaced one of them with the 32" monitor. In order to get the resolution good enough to read a drawing I would have to zoom into the drawing to the same point as what I could see on the other 21" monitor. My 21" monitors are Acer with MUCH better overall display than the 32" NEC. I was disappointed the NEC 32" monitor didn't work out for me. However, Amazon handled the return in an excellent manner. Hope that helps. Todd, I am sorry to say that I returned the monitor 3 days after I received it. I'm a heating & air conditioning contractor.

Not to be rude but Hank really doesn't know what he is talking about. First point: " Both LED and LCD televisions can have 120 hz, 240hz, and even 480 hz and in this case both tv's are 120 hz. Refresh rates are the same so "clarity" from refresh rates will be identical. Second: He says he will never buy a "straight up lcd tv." that's ok but he says he will buy one with LED or LED/LCD. Unless he is looking at a 4inch screen, they will all be LCD backlit withe LEDs. oLED technology in TV's is years away. My thoughts: Both these TV's have their ups and downs. The 630 is thicker and more power hungry but will have a more uniform picture (which if you are in low light situations is better). The 6300 LED/LCD is slim, "cool", better contrast ratio, green, (more expensive) BUT (and a big but) will be brighter around the edges than the center. This is the problem with "budget" LED/LCDs. Most edge lit LED/LCD TVs have this problem. To avoid it and get the best of both worlds one would need to buy one with Local Dimming. This is where the LEDs are placed behind the entire screen, not just the edges. It is a true difference maker. Not that the prices for TV's with Local Dimming are substantially higher (unless you buy the new outstanding Vizio models). Either way, if you don't mind spending a little more and getting a little less with picture uniformity, go with the 6300.

Hi! the panny G10 will have a more natural picture, but it will not have the better smooth motion when your watching 24p. If you go to the store to and watch it in the true cinema with a blu-ray at 24hz , then you will notice a ficker at the display. This will turn anyone away if they are looking for this feature. Remember that plasma 600hz is not equivalent to lcd 240hz. These two are really 48hz panny G10 -vs- 240hz sammy. The 600hz is really a give number to reduce the amout of time the frame will be display(this will reduce after effects). Remember that plasma needs at least 72hz to be able to display the 24p correctly. hope this will help someone....:) Hi! the panny G10 will have a more natural picture, but it will not have the better smooth motion when your watching 24p.

Thanks Walker D.K. Do you think the PQ is significantly better on the G10 than the S1? I went in to BestBuy to try and compare but the two TVs were on opposite endcaps running different demos so I couldn't really compare the PQ. The BestBuy guy told me the G10 had a significantly better processor than the S1. Also, back to my original question: will an S1/BD60 combo give me full Viera cast functionality?

Second monitor impossible. it does not have video output and it has very specific firmware. Hack for this device is not yet possible. Expect from the Internet community an opportunity to change the language. By default, sharp hes only Japanese.

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!

YES !!! I had a Panasonic Viera 1080p 2D ONLY and this was the main reason I did purchase the AdapSonic Converter (to see 3D in a TV beafore decided to buy one). You need a Player (bluray) that play 3D (need a 1.4 HDMI Cable). If TV is 2D only will play SBS and HOU formats only and convert regular 2D (like TV programs) but will never be like a real 3D sbs... Remember in the 3D world this one is the oldes system so will not be as colorful like in the movies or a real 3D TV but if you are in a budget an will like something to start I did recomended it push me to buy my new Passive 3D 65" LD TV.

Mine was a new purchase two years ago and has performed better than any of my previous monitors. I would attempt an exchange with your supplier if you had eliminated possible video card, power or cable problems. Good luck, great monitor.

Sorry, Im not sure if it would work? I myself have a 22 in monitor at home that wasn't being used. I thought it would be nice to use it as a tv and connect with either a cable box, dvd player, or a gaming system. I read the reviews and thought which were mixed. Some reviews said this would work for my application, other reviews said complete opposite that it would work in making my tv a computer monitor. So I figured for under 5 dollars its worth a shot. I could possibly use it for either one of these applications; "what do I have to lose?" Well I lost time and a few dollars. Hopefully you find a way for this to work. Good Luck!
