Using the HP 2710m 27" as a stand alone TV? Will my wife be able to hook up a DVD player, PS3, or TV antenna to this monitor and use it as a stand-alone TV?

It does have one HDMI input. You can hook whatever you want to up to it as far as I can tell. The thing that makes it bad for TV is the viewing angle. As long as you're front and center everything will look awesome. If you're too high or too low it won't look good.

Yes and it looks great ! I am running a Optoma Hd-25lv about 13ft from this 110 inch screen with 20 ft hdmi cable that supports 1.4a. I still can't belive this screen is so great my friends think it is soo expensive lol

I haven't tried it, but it's my understanding that it can be used as a standalone unit, without using a TV. I'd double check with Pyle though.

Yes, the 27" monitor has vga, dvi, and hdmi inputs. It only comes with a vga cable though. If you use the dvi port, make sure you get the dual link cable. I couldn't get a single link cable to work.

I understand the first part of what you said. I'll look for a TV with a VGA port. Is there a special cord or connector for that? The second part sounds like a lot of work just to watch a movie. I truly thank you for your help

- CORRECTION - On further review - I do not have this TV. Mine is a UN55ES8000 - not a UN55D6000. I have no idea what connections are available on the 55" 6000 series.

The computer uses the newer "DVI" type connector for the monitor, but HP supplies an adapter with the computer (it's in the bag with the AC line cord) that will convert that receptacle to take a standard VGA cable. I'm running an HP S2331a (review posted separately), at 1920x1080 and using a DVI cable . Gorgeous ! http://www.amazon.com/HP-S2331-23-Inch-Diagonal-Monitor/dp/B003FMUL8G/ref=cm_cr-mr-title

I am not sure. I would say sell the monitor and get another tv with dvi or vga hookup available

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!

Hi....I just checked and do not see any HDMI or other output for this unit. As a side note...the monitor included has a beautiful picture although it's just a 20.

Thank you both. I will look hard at a machine like the DR570, as I am not on cable, only antenna. Right now I get a good picture on my old Sony (non-HD) TV, using a cheap converter box. If I can get rid of the converter box, and record off the HD antenna signal with a tuner built in then that's the way for me to go. Thanks again for helping me make up my mind. Now to figure which device is the best for a reasonalble price..............R

Emm, some people said it couple be TV and PC moniter both. But I used it as PC monitor. If u need to install it on the wall, u do better find a pro installer to do it. I tired a few times, have not make it yet.

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.

Get an inexpensive dvi-d to hdmi adapter and a 1/8"male to 1/8"male stereo cable because dvi doesn't carry the audio signal. Or you can use the HP digital audio output to the coaxial input of a surround system. I have been running this way for quite a while in full HD (1080P) with no issues and no expensive upgrades. Check your HDTV for exact connections, not all models have same inputs so what worked for my system may not work for yours.

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!

I don't think standard on this model. This is a very low end product. Not conducive to upgrades. I was gonna suggest add in video card but I don't belive this machine has any computer slots for add in. The case is very deceptive to that. Would look at upgraded model if you haven't purchased yet. Then probably would have hdmi built in. HDMI is nearly automatic. Then select TV input to the hdmi port and walaaa. Good luck.

I don't know. However, you can go on their forums to search for an answer or email their support desk. We went to a local store, and a iSony Rep happened to be there for the day answering questions for the day. But we hooked it up to the 65" 4HD TV so it wasn't an issue. Good luck.
