LCD Monitor with TV Tuner and PIP I'm looking for a computer monitor that has a TV tuner and can display picture-in-picture (PIP). Ideally I'd like to use the unit as a computer monitor while watching TV in PIP (or, if necessary, vice versa). Does anyone make such a unit in the 21" to 27" size ???

I'm also looking for this. I'm hoping for a 24" or less monitor size for my kitchen. If I can find it I may have to accomplish it with a regular PC/Monitor and a TV card or USB. Maybe like Haugguage (spelling?).

I am looking for the same thing. eBay has a "LG M2792D-SN 27" LED HDTV Tuner Full HD 1920x1080 HDMIx2 PIP PC Monitor", but I do not know how good it is. I cannot find any reviews.

My tape came out reading the vertical height as 12 7/8 inches. Now the desk cant be stretched so it all depends on the measurements of your tv set. An alternative is to use a tv with pip in the main opening. It will accommodate a 27 inch monitor or tv with pip.

Given that there is no difference between a TV and a monitor other than size, you can easily calibrate a TV with it. You would of course have to be using the TV as a display for a computer in order to run the software though.

As it happens, Janice... ...My Amazon review of this TV happens to be titled "A Great Computer Display (That's Also A Top TV)" (!) ...BUT... ...That usage is absolutely dependent on it being correctly cabled from the computer in question. The easiest and best connection is via HDMI, as on the latest Macs. Failing that, the display outputs of older systems will require external converter "active dongles" from those display ports to HDMI or (less conveniently) to the 3 RCA sockets of the "Component AV In" sockets on the TV's back panel. Either option will result in a good quality graphics display, with the HDMI inputs being by far the better option as they truly yield "state of the art" resolution.

No there is not, PIP is to display 2 cable channels at the same time with the cable going straight to your TV. No there is not a device that will do what you are wanting

PIP feature came into TVs way back in 80s and never got popular due to inconvenience it causes to eyes. I am not sure why people are so concerned about it now on LCD tvs? I would like to understand if there is something NEW that I've n't understood?

Was told that I can only get full cable on the main picture and then basic cable (i.e. the free channels) on the PIP - not what I was expecting at all.

Hello, I'm trying to connect via RF cable to a prima edtv with an NTSC tuner. I can get sound but no picture (not even the guide). Am I missing a setting on my tv or something? TV works fine with DVDs etc. Can one of the experts help?

You didn't specify which TV you wanted PIP, but if you're talking about ZT60, then I wouldn't waste my time as this TV, as this unit was designed for pure enjoyment of the programing. Samsung has TV's that do PIP and they cost a lot less and they may fit the situations? Good luck.

Yes, my tv has the PiP feature were you watch it in any corner of your screen.

whatever was on my computer monitor is how it showed on the tv (55 inch led). there is a format button on my remote that allows me to change the ratio on the tv though. but hasn't been needed using this.

A DVI to VGA adapter was included in the package for this unit. I have tested it up to 1920x1080 and it works well at that resolution. Just make sure that the VGA connector is secure on both ends; as with any VGA cable, the signal can get blurry if the connector is loose. (This was particularly true for me when using the desktop's included VESA bracket to mount it to the back of my television, because space is extremely constrained behind the television and the VGA cable would sometimes get jarred loose). Be careful about your cable arrangement and you should be fine.

Of course, look at the spec closer, pc input for PIP. A couple of ways to do it. Also most computers/ laptop have DVI and HDMI. And there are cable with one side is DVI and the other side is HDMI. Again there is the regular PC monitor input out for older computers/laptops.

I wouldn't buy tjis ptoduct. I sent mine back because I used it to hook up another monitor to my computer and the resolution it gave me was only 400 x 800, not as advertised. I researched some more and a EVGA +39. It has an adapter for VGA and HDMI. Like I said, I use it to connect a third monitor to my laptop. Don't know if it can be used for a TV. But check to see if your TV has a VGA input first. Most do. Then you can just buy a VGA cable and a audio cable and that will work.

it has PIP and POP. it displays HDMI in one input and any input that is not HDMI in the other. I must say that the POP feature falls short of what could have been possible with this TV. Although the screen would be quite capable of displaying two 4:3 windows side by side, they did not utilize this capability. The screen in POP mode displays two letterboxed 16:9 windows side by side stretching anything broadcast in 4:3 ratio.

I was able to get my pip to work by hooking up my antenna (coax) and my dvd player through the hdmi input.Then at this point (from my experience) you must be watching the hdmi source (DVD player). While watching the hdmi source the pip menu option will be activated and you will be able to turn it on.I wasn't able to get it to work in reverse (watching antenna source trying to get pip of dvd)

This is just a monitor. It does not have a TV tuner or any kind of signal generator. It does have an regular size HDMI input and will display anything coming into the HDMI such as a DVD player, a tablet (that has an HDMI out - if you have a mini-HDMI out just get a mini X regular cable), or other device. Hope this helps!
