would Sony KDL32XBR6 be a good monitor for my computer? Would a Sony KDL32XBR6 be able to be used on pc computer as main monitor?

Thank you for taking the time to help me make my decision. I have been leaning that way and with your knowledge I am going to best buy and get one. Thanks, Ed

Yes, you could use this monitor as your primary computer monitor.........you would need to get a DVI to HDMI conversion switch.....plug the computer into the DVI side and the monitor to the HDMI side. I have read posts on other web sites where people have already hooked this monitor up to their computer and they love it.

I plugged the HDMI cable from my VAIO laptop to the TV. The picture doesn't fill the TV screen. My VAIO resolution is 1366 x 768 which isn't supported, but I dropped it to 1280 x 720. Any lower and it gets worse. Also, I don't get any sound from the TV.

I love this as my monitor, plays games, even system hogs like Crysis......just fine and with the picture in picture I can watch tv too. You cant go wrong here.

I had a computer man hook up my pc to the TV. It works great. I had him do it as I am the worst electronic person in the galaxy. I wish I could help you more. I am not sure about laptop.

the monitor is great for gaming, I don't have ghosting or tearing. Pixel speed is fine.You need decent video cards to use it although. 3840x2160 is tough with 16xAF, 4xMSAA, occlusion, parallax and all the other visual candy. Also you need a video card that can specifically talk to the monitor with supporting drivers, both aspects. display port 1.2 is the only connection that will give you 60fps, dvi and hdmi can't push it at 60, only 30.To get decent frames over 60+ I use 2 Titanz sli.

In theory, yes...if you have an HDMI to HDMI connection from your cablebox to your monitor. The monitor has two HDMI outputs; you could use one for the cablebox and one for the computer. Personally, I use my monitor for my every day computer functions and have my 46" Sony HDTV to play my blu-rays on from my computer. I would invite you to look at the different forums on the Internet concerning this issue and try out the one that best suites your situation.

Yes its good, plan on using hdmi only though. There may be better choices out there for the price now that this monitor is about 6-8 months old

Any VGA (RGB) monitor will work. I use a normal computer monitor with good results.Definition is very good

I think if you look at the specs you'll be able to find out. No idea what monitor I have, it's my work computer. I am however starting to get some feedback from the speaker and it isn't very old. Its small and takes up no space which is nice, but not so sure about the quality at this point.

I believe so, but the quality will be poor. Given the high quality of the monitor, it would make sense to spring for a DVI or HDMI video card if your computer can handle it.

Yes you can use it as a monitor for internet content, Office, Excel documents, etc. However, you will need a graphics card installed in your computer for any gaming or Photoshop work.

Asking about contrast ratio is asking the wrong question. The contrast ratio of this monitor will not tell you how good or bad it looks. This is a beautiful LED monitor. I use this monitor for fast paced gaming with my PS4 and on my custom built PC, as well as every day typing and browsing tasks. It is gorgeous. Not the best that is out there (samsung makes a 3k version of this), but still amazing. It will makes your games incredibly detailed and your normal browsing generally enjoyable, especially since it is stinkin huge!

All this monitor has is a VGA port. Thats as muh as I can help you, research what ports you have and if you can convert them to a VGA. But t may be worth the extra money just getting a nicer monitor.

This monitor is best for desktop computers, but for the price, this is a great monitor to have even for a macbook. Just remember that it is an HDTV monitor hybrid, which means it comes with a remote, and has built in stereo speakers. It will function exactly like a TV (and you can hook up cable to it as well!).

To me the contents look good on TV, so it do just fine on computer monitor. If you use to TV purposes then it could depend on your TV specifications.

Some newer video cards have a MiniDisplay as an output option but not all are the same so it could work fine in theory but could also not. I would stay away if using a PC however. These displays are beautiful but not really worth the price/potential hassle for use with a PC.

this is a great monitor and you will not be disappointed by it's picture quality, but DONT USE the onboard speakers as they are junk in my opinion. Just bypass it and hook it up to some decent speakers. I recommend Bose speakers or if you want a little cheaper option buy a set of Boston Acoustics used BA-270 or 280 series from a reseller on this site or e bay. the new boston acoustics that they sell new are JUNK and sound like it. Wanna really rock go for the Bose it is well worth the extra dough.

We have used this monitor on numerous PC's both old (Going back to Windows 95) and most everything up to Windows 7. I'm just guessing, but I don't think you will have any problem.

Yes you can, but you need an adaptor, i believe this monitor only uses MiniDisplay port. Common PC monitor uses HDMI, VGA, and DVI connections. Unless you have some of the newer Video Cards that have MiniDisplay port out then, you'll have to buy a seperate adaptor to work.
