  "Anyway, after checking I have found that the TV has no DVI cable and only does 1024x768 as the max resolution over VGA"

  easily fixed, just get a DVI/HDMI cable for four bux fidy…(or fourty)

  i know its extra costs and a pain to order, but still circumvents the problem for DVI…

  you can even get it in a cable…(like i have for my monitor) rather than buying an adaptor if you need a cord anyway.

    Sure, I know how to hook it up that way. I actually ordered one a few days ago for this very issue. :-) I've heard of TV's displaying HDMI input of PC sources being hard to read and over-scanned etc, though.

    Has anyone tried HDMI input with this TV from a PC?

        read a few things about it, cant really remember too well…
        but to get us started:
        * possibly refresh rates arent as good? (eg 1-2ms vs 6-10ms of a tv)?(some TVs are quite high though)
        * I remember reading something about PC blacks (on a scale to 255) monitors get closer to that 255 range where as tvs are more in that middle range of colours they do so they can get a higher refresh
        * and problem with a large TV is that its only 1080P, as your sitting up close to it its probably getting a little low, (which is why many large screen monitors have a higher resolution)

        still good enough for most applications(possibly most of us), but i wouldnt want to be a cad or image designer using one.

        I think the quality wont be as good.

        • possibly refresh rates arent as good? (eg 1-2ms vs 6-10ms of a tv)?(some TVs are quite high though)
          => refresh rates and latency are different things. 1-2ms on anything > 32" are not available yet.
          it's normal to have them around 6ms these days. Anything under 10ms you won't have a problem

        • I remember reading something about PC blacks (on a scale to 255) monitors get closer to that 255 range where as tvs are more in that middle range of colours they do so they can get a higher refresh
          => you'll have to adjust that yourself since monitors and TVs don't use the same kind of panels

        • and problem with a large TV is that its only 1080P, as your sitting up close to it its probably getting a little low, (which is why many large screen monitors have a higher resolution)

        => only 1080p? what monitor do you use? Most monitors unless you go with an extra high resolution ones you're stuck with 1920x1080, 1920x1200 or less usually. I have not seen anything higher in resolution other than DELL U2711 and Apple Cinema Display & iMac 27".

        For CAD and Designing, YOU SHOULD NOT USE TVs for your monitor.
        You should buy a MONITOR MONITOR.

        But yeah for anyone who wants a massive 32" Monitor for watching movies or games
        This is a fine product for the fine price.

        Thanks for clarifying… yeah "only" is itelic, good for 24" and a decent resolution, but starting to get low on large screens/big tv's…

        Heck id be happy with it.

        i think your agreeing with most of what i said….:S
