Can I use this tv as a monitor for my laptop?

Yes, make sure it is 1080p - that is important. It should be but check. The auto settings on any should be off so your video chip/card takes over completely and non-conflicted. It is FINE as a monitor.

Sure. You might want to sit back a few feet, though. That's a really BIG monitor!

Yes you can use this tv as a computer monitor. This is what i use my Seiki 32 inch for. I had this same question before i purchased this tv a year ago. Its well worth every penny.

This monitor has VGA input, so as long as your laptop supports it, you'll be fine.

The tv does not have a specific input for a PC. You can purchase a DVI to HDMI converter and then use it as a computer monitor within the resolution constraints. The TV supports up to 1080p while most computer monitors support 1280p.

YES. As long as your TV and laptop both have HDMI ports. I use it exactly for that - HDMI on laptop to HDMI on TV. Is wonderful because it also carries audio on the HDMI cable so you can easily watch movies (say from iTunes) on TV too.

As long as your laptop has a VGA output, you can connect it to your laptop.If your laptop has a DVI or HDMI output, you will need a DVI to VGA or an HDMI to VGA converter. You can use any converter no matter how inexensive it is, because this monitor accepts a digital VGA signal. I personally use it for my desktop (which has a VGA output) and my PlayStation 3 (which I use a cheap HDMI to VGA converter for, and it works perfectly).

The Samsung B350 Series T27B350ND 27" Screen Led-lit Monitor can be used as a monitor or as a TV. I am using mine as an extra TV. The S27B350 can only be used as a monitor. I have this one also, but can only use it as a PC monitor. I should have spent the extra few dollars and bought another T27B350 instead. The TV has a beautiful picture and we enjoy it, Tom

It depends. Your laptop will need to have an output compatible with one of the available TV's inputs.

Since there is only a single VGA input then no this monitor cannot "double" as a TV and computer use. It may be possible to convert the TV output to VGA (not sure how) but then you have to be disconnecting and reconnecting cables when going from TV to computer. Most people would not consider this as double duty. Due to the problems with vertical viewing angle though, I would not recommend this monitor for TV viewing as the picture degrades pretty severely off-axis.

You should be able to use an HDMI out from your laptop along with a USB to the monitor, and use it as a large touch tablet. You may need to change some settings, but you can close the laptop and only use the external monitor if you want.

The answer is "No" to both of your questions. This is a monitor, not a television. A television has a built-in tuner so it can take signals (from an antenna or cable) and display it on the screen. A monitor only displays what is fed to it from a source (could be a computer, DVD player, Blu-Ray player, etc.) If your computer can receive a signal from an antenna, then this monitor would be able to display it. But in general, think of a monitor as a dumb device -- it just displays what is fed to it...

If your tv has a VGA input then it's easy, you can just run a VGA cable (i.e. A monitor cable) from your PC/laptop to the television. However, if your tv only has HDMI and/or component inputs, then you need a VGA-to-HDMI CONVERTER, which you can search for on Amazon. The only other possibility is that some newer laptops have an HDMI output on them, in which case connecting to your tv would be easy with a basic HDMI cable.

Yes it can be used as a computer monitor. The manual has a section on how to set it up. Also, Best Buy charges a re-stocking fee for opened TVs, which I think is 15%.

Yes you can! Though it may depend on your screen. My laptop screen didn't display anything for my xbox 360 so I had to use a computer monitor.

You can not use your laptop. You have to have a separate monitor with a vga connection. Sometimes if you look at your flat screen tv's in your house one of them should have a vga port you can plug it in and program without buying a monitor.

Yes, it can be used as a monitor. This link will take you to the owners manual which references connections to a PC on page 21:http://www.lg.com/lgecs.downloadFile.ldwf?DOC_ID=KROWM000516209&ORIGINAL;_NAME_b1_a1=MFL67651192_32LN5300-UB.AUS.pdf&FILE;_NAME=KROWM000516209.pdf&TC;=DwnCmd

Yes, you can connect this from a laptop with an HDMI video port to an TV with RCA A/V inputs. However, please know that this is not a very high quality converter. The best usage would be to display videos and movies as someone else already mentioned that text, such as your computer desktop, will be almost illegible. This will not suffice as a solution to a second computer monitor. Watching movies will be ok and honestly, the smaller the TV screen size that you use, the better the picture will appear.
