Could this also be used as a plain monitor if sometimes need to use traditional PC?

Yes. I have my laptop which has Windows installed, attached to the HDMI connection on the Chromebase. The hdmi connection is the only one available to connect another computer. Once connected, you turn the Chromebase on, then press "chrome" on the Chromebase monitor to switch from Chrome OS to your other computer- works GREAT. I have started using the Chromebase more an more over Windows pc. Much faster bootup an shut down

I don't think this will work with all computers. I have a 7-yr old Dell with a DVI tmonitor port - even with the DVI to HDMI adapter that came with the computer I'm not getting a signal. Also, so far it is not working with my Acer Chromebook either.

Yes you can use it for a monitor. It has a HD PC port on the rear to be hooked up to your CPU

Late response but yes, I also use this as a second monitor. Not to be used by the serious gamer as a primary of course, but it is nice to have extended desktop.

Theoretically yes, and I have done it in the past. However with this unit I haven't been able to get it to work. It is a new setup and monitor though so I may be my issue.

This can be used as computer monitor, as long as your video card supports HDMI.

This is not a PC, just a touch screen monitor so that is an invalid question

Yes, it can be used as a monitor. This link will take you to the owners manual which references connections to a PC on page 21:http://www.lg.com/lgecs.downloadFile.ldwf?DOC_ID=KROWM000516209&ORIGINAL;_NAME_b1_a1=MFL67651192_32LN5300-UB.AUS.pdf&FILE;_NAME=KROWM000516209.pdf&TC;=DwnCmd

If the monitor already has standard mounting holes on the back, you should be good to go. If not, the monitor will have to sit on the top platform.

You would have to buy a monitor that is touch capable since the desktop purchase does not include a monitor.

For me No...It works well with movies, playing pc or console games but I wouldn't recommend it for a permanent monitor replacement.

You can use it as a regular pc. The leap motion is just a nice little added bonus. Great computer.

You can use it as you would any other desktop. The only issue would be if you want dual monitors you would need a new graphics card.

I suppose you could though I'm not sure as to how good the quality would be. Utilizing the software video capture as a primary monitor may also have a delay with input if that would matter to you.

yes we used it as computer monitor frequently for playing videos or video games. It works very well with both HDMI and VGA connection.

Yes you can, that's why i bought it because i didn't want to have to lug a regular monitor with me

Yes. You'll need to connect it with a USB 3.0 Cable since there is only one monitor port.

The issue will be power, it uses two powered USB ports for power supply. The port on the monitor is a micro USB you could probably use alternate means of power. I don't have the power specs on hand to advise what would be best for alternative power.
