i have had this monitor for a few months now, and it blows my CRT HD display out of the water. I am using it as a computer display, xbox, HD cable, and dvd. The picture is great, and the colors are awsome. for text the screen is a bit bright, but that is better than being too dark.my crt, was fine for DVDs, but for digital sources like the computer, it would cut off part of the screen, and it could hardly render 1024x768, instead this display renders 1080px1920.

I'm only a purchaser not the seller so I'm not sure why they would send me your question. My girlfriend nor I am a gamer so I don't want to give you a wrong answer. I'd Google the machine and see if you can find out more there.

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee

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.

HDMI port 3 will always work, just like any other HDMI Port, you don't have to worry about it being a strange port, aside from whatever it may say "In your owners manual". I have been told by others that the tv has been updated to where all ports are 4k capable. But in my own personal owners manual, it says that on my tv, the only HDMI port capable of 4k is port 3. Now, when the person said to me that all ports were now 4k capable, he did so by saying that the tv he got was an American version or model number, but when I got mine, it had some added characters which to me suggest I was sent a foreign model when I ordered mine from Amazon, and not the US model. I think my model numbers end in AU, so I don't want to have to find the book at the moment, but regardless, HDMI port 3 in the owners manual "I" got said that it was the 4k port. I know I use it myself for 4k on my PC. I don't use a small Monitor for my pc, just my tv, and everything I do is from the TV, so it was simply easier to use this port, knowing it was the fastest port, whether or not it was 4k capable, because I would prefer the highest FPS from the Pc, vs the 30FPS that may be possible on the slower ports, if they in fact are slower. So don't worry, the tv is great, and the 3d is some of the best I've ever seen. The tv can manage your pc gaming, you won't need a small monitor anymore. If your worried about anything, don't. A great TV:) From an avid gamer, and lover of Movies in 3d, this is a fantastic model television.

I am pretty sure that I understand what you mean and the answer is yes. That is what I use it for. I am not sure how it will work with gaming, as I use it on a work computer.

Hi - Let's clarify something right away. Do not use VGA & HDMI cables from the same source at the same time. Just remember that what ever source you feed this monitor with an HDMI cable will be the one that sound is applied to the headset jack on the back. Anything else, you will have to hook up your speaker system straight to the source unit ( PC-Game unit - video feeds ) Hooking up directly to the source unit will generally give you the best sound anyway. If you have more than one feed to the monitor, it has a switch to select which one you will receive at any given moment. The HDMI feed will be the only one that sends sound to the monitor headphone jack, and you can plug a sound system into this jack or just headphones. - Good luck and enjoy! - Jim T.

I am using it as a monitor. I had the previous generation model used as the same. Neither is gaming, so I can't respond to that, but as a big screen monitor with built-in speakers, it works great.

I use it for PC gaming, mostly the moba and RTS genre. But I occasionally play CS. Works fine, but you have to sit pretty close. And it looks great too. No idea how it works with a console though.

I'm also using mine to connect a new & an OLD machine (Win 8.1 & XP) & they work fine. No reason I can think of that it wouldn't work with Win 7. So what doesn't work? Do you get a display on the monitor but no response to the keyboard or mouse, or ???

Thanks for your post on this discussion regarding wireless connection for this TV. I still have a few questions.When you unhook your gaming adaptor and connect it to TV, you still need to connect your wireless router back to PC. So in that case, will this trick work using two regular wireless routers, one connected to PC and on to TV (after the wep key step)? I am not into gaming, so I don't want to spend a lot on the gmaing adaptor.

Both of my minis worked right out of the box. One thing to consider, though - and I'll confess this hadn't occurred to me until my first install - is that the audio is transmitted on the HDMI cable.... so if you don't have an HDMI port on your TV (mine didn't), then an HDMI-to-other-video adaptor isn't sufficient - you get picture but no sound. In my case, I had to pick up an HDMI-VGA converter with separate audio out, and run that audio into the TV audio in... then I was good. On my *next* install, TV with HDMI - plugged right in and worked immediately, no problems. Maybe you're in a similar situation... good luck!

Sorry, I do most gaming from a console, My media PC has a wireless Keyboard & trkball. Not too good for gaming.I have ran MKV Vids through the 3D converter & found no detectable lag or artifacting. Dunno if that helps but its the best I can offer. Never thought to convert a Vid Game, I might try that if I get the time & update this answer.I have an intermediate level NVidia adapter - don't remember the model but it was bout $80 3 years ago, so it's no Cadillac,Good for most MMedia, not great for gaming)
