Does this TV do a PIP on 2 external source, like a PC and a HDMI: Can someone answer this for me, those who bought this TV.

It should, the LNT3253 series does, and this is a much more upscale version. So i would wager that yes, it does.

It does have 2 HDMI inputs. Have not tried to hook up to a computer. Try the Vizio website for more info. It is a great TV for the price!

Hi Works fine on htpc but you have to switch unit on manually first. I havnt tried it on PC but would think it will work the same way.

Yes. There is an option to not show any on-screen graphics (Rec, audio levels etc) via HDMI out. Though, if you do go into the menu, it does show up on screen.

Only manages one HDMI input at a time. It is suppose to only run the powered on devise, but this feature has not worked for me. I only have one HDMI input and have Apple TV, Direct TV and my blue ray connected to this 3 way. In order to change devices I need to push a button on the switch to line up the HDMI from the device I want to use.

I purchased "1080p Hdmi Male input to VGA + Audio Output Cable Converter Adapter for Hdtv Pc" at Amazon's suggestion. I was unable to view laptop images on my LG HDTV. The laptop has a Nvidia card and works with analog TV. My solution was to purchase another computer (used) with an HDMI output - not very economical but it did work. KS

I have used this to go from laptop or desktop (windows OS) VGA port on the pc [that has a video card which supports digital output] to an HDMI input port on Televisions, to get video only. I had to use a separate Y audio cable to get sound from the pc to the TV. Using the projector setting on your pc you will see it on the TV, just check the TV for input, my Mother has DynxxTV and sets it to VGA input, my friend he has to put it on HDMI2 another says their TV has a PC input, so check your TV or Monitor manual.

This will not allow you to capture from an HDCP enabled source, if that helps. I use it to capture PC gameplay. I run HDMI out of the GPU to an active HDMI splitter; one HDMI cord then runs to my monitor and a second into the capture card.

I hooked up my PC, picture is great, basically i use it as a monitor, because i have cable box, dvd, sound surround system and PC, everything connected with HDMI cables. I have no complains. Good luck!

I have to agree with you. I have a playstation 3 and a media extender for streaming vids/TV from my computer. That uses up all my HDMI inputs on the Yamaha. So what happens when I get a new device?? Yeah, I'm not really future proofed at all. I'd like to see 4 HDMI inputs.

In both the PIP and P&P; only one source is changeable, the other one defaults to TV and cannot be changed, so viewing of 2 different HDMI sources is not possible, I messed around with it for a bit and couldn't change it beyond that. I dont know what you mean by "Smart" mode, but like I said, there's 4 HDMI inputs and an HD Component insert that the display defaults to TV, I'm guessing they expect you to plug your cable box through that, personally I only use the HDMI ports and seeing as you cannot use this feature with 2 HDMI sources, I don't use it, hope this answers your question, let me know if you want me to test anything else.Regards, In both the PIP and P&P; only one source is changeable, the other one defaults to TV and cannot be changed, so viewing of 2 different HDMI sources is not possible, I messed around with it for a bit and couldn't change it beyond that.

William, I'll check on that tomorrow when I'm back at the office. If I forget, just post here again and I should be notified - otherwise shoot me an email. AEB35.75@gmail.com. Regardless, its a great unit - perfect for an additional monitor and very easy to toggle between the TV and external monitor functionalities. Only complaint is the sound is slightly subpar - I'll try to address your question tomorrow, like I said. Cheers!

Hello dk60, thank you for your message. In regards to your concern, You can watch two pictures (main and sub) simultaneously. The main picture can be displayed in full screen, and the sub picture can be displayed in an inset window (e.g. HDMI input (PC format) and TV program). This feature is called PIP. For more information, check this link: http://docs.esupport.sony.com/imanual/NA/2014/KDL-50_60_70W800B_W830B_W840B_W850B/uc_uen/c_pippap_uc_pap.html. When opening the previous link go into watching TV section and select either PIP or P&P.

As it happens, Janice... ...My Amazon review of this TV happens to be titled "A Great Computer Display (That's Also A Top TV)" (!)...BUT......That usage is absolutely dependent on it being correctly cabled from the computer in question.The easiest and best connection is via HDMI, as on the latest Macs.Failing that, the display outputs of older systems will require external converter "active dongles" from those display ports to HDMI or (less conveniently) to the 3 RCA sockets of the "Component AV In" sockets on the TV's back panel.Either option will result in a good quality graphics display, with the HDMI inputs being by far the better option as they truly yield "state of the art" resolution.

Hi Eddie. I use a Western Digital Live TV and a Set Top Box. Both connect via HDMI, and both sources have their audio duplicated and sent through the analogue headphone/speaker port. I connect PC speakers to that port and it works great. Greg

No. True PIP capability requires the TV to have two independent built in tuners. However, there will still be only one coaxial cable input. It's a nice feature which I enjoyed on an older tube type Sony which I owned. But I don't think they offer it on any of their units now...not even the XBR.
