Why don't you just make the font bigger? Go to control panel, display, settings, and increase your font size. Viola!

The best way to use the Regza as a computer monitor is to use its hdmi port.1) Connect your PC/Laptop's hdmi port to hdmi1 of the regza tv.2) Switch on the TV and then boot up your computer3) Make sure the resolution is set to 1280x7204) Select the picture size as "native" on your regza tv

Thank you for your helps also on this. I just bought a 55inch toshiba and it had SOE issue. It did look funny watching tv like this. It felt like the picture wasnt real or the angles of the camera were screwed up. It actually felt like i was on the set watching the actors/actresses acting a scene out. SCARY.. thanks all for this info. Im sure it will help many out there with this problem.

Rich, why do you feel you really need to tweek this TV so much. You stated that my earlier reply back to you, was not useful. Do you own this tv? IF not, no wonder you didn't like my reply. This television only involves minor tweeking of the Contrast and the backlight. This will drastically result in a better picture than those 3 standard settings. Do not mess with the color pallettes or anything elso at that matter. They are set perfectly to accomadate Toshiba's hd dvd players and so forth. hd input source from hd dish network/direct tv also looks great. If you are really into tweeking your set, my guess is that it will only hurt you with this tv. Toshiba really did a great job on this t.v. Not much messing around. It reallylooks wonderful straight out of the box. I would just set the contrast and backlight. thats it!!!

That's what I do and I'm happy with the resolution. Obviously, the quality of the TV's image is the limiting factor. Don't expect the picture to be the same as one of those beautiful (and expensive) Apple monitors. HDMI vs. FIREWIRE? I don't know the specs.

Unfortunately I was not the one to set this Toshiba 40E210 40 Inch 1080P LCD TV for cable viewing. The setup was done by our local cable company technician to match the setting of the cable box attached to the TV. If you call your cable or satellite provider they usually do this service at no cost to you. The monitor settings are going to be based on the available settings on your computer's video card. Generally I do this by eye to find the sharpest setting visually of the desktop. I minimize all other windows and only focus on the desktop icons for this task, ensuring that nothing looks fuzzy to me and the entire screen is filled. I hope this helps you in setting up your new wonderful Toshiba 40E210 40 Inch 1080P LCD TV. Please feel free to ask any other questions you might have. SMILE

Yes, the HDMI port works fine. The only problem most people are reporting with the HDMI functionality is that the driver, as shipped, does not allow the tablet display to be duplicated on the monitor/TV; you can only select "extend" mode or just the monitor/TV screen. A newer driver, available from the Toshiba support site, fixes that. Perhaps you have a defective cable?

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.

At 1920x1200, the T260HD is a 16:10 ratio, but it can support a 4:3 ratio. It will just have black bars on the left an right of the screen. As for connection, your options are HDMI, DVI or VGA (which is listed as included in the box). You'll have to look at your laptop to see what your video card can output. Note that with DVI and VGA, there will be no audio. That will require a different cable.

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.

I suspect that this laptop only has the 1,366x768 that is listed everywhere else. Whenever the one I ordered finally gets here (taking an oddly long time), I will update if the resolution is indeed 1920x1080 (altho I highly doubt it). Hope this helps.

It is Full 1920 x 1080 HD, but then again it's a laptop and you still have the same viewing issues you have with all laptops, the screen angle. You move the screen a little further back or forward based on your viewing position and the video image quality changes -but that's the nature of a laptop. It's good for games, you can certainly watch an HD video. I prefer to watch my full length movies on an Full HD TV. I work from home and have to have access 24/7, so I use mine in my bedroom as a desktop alternative because of the large screen. I hope that helps.

I hope you can answer this for me. I'm planning on getting this tv due to the awesome reviews, but am curious about connecting it to my PC. My PC tower has the plug for what I'm thinking is called a VGA. It is blue and has 15 pin holes, 3 rows of five. Now, I figure I will have to purchase a special cord to use this tv as a monitor. I'm confused about which is VGA, DVI, and HDMI. What cord do I need to purchase so this will work as a monitor for me? Thanks in advance!

I have a Toshiba with 2MP webcam, but the 900HA's webcam is sharper, brighter and has a better contrast with the lighting. It even works fine with your 900HA's monitor brightness. No extra lighting necessary.I LOVE MY eee 900HA..! My fingers got adapted to the tiny keyboard (in about 3 days) and I manage to type as fast as 60 WPM on this tiny computer (I won't deny that at first I was making mistakes on every word I typed) . . . I love it.

Sorry I can't help you there. I have a different set up. I don't see the quality improving from my laptop to TV so if I took an educated guess I would say no.

You would need to use an HDMI cable for the best picture quality. I find the Belkin laptop cable is adequate with an excellent picture, it just depends on what your TV and computer are cable of. Given my TV only has two HDMI ports the computer port is available and so I make use of it.

I owe this one and a Sony XBR 32" w/ 120Hz. I find myself preferring the Toshiba; the larger screen does not come with any downside in terms of Colors, brilliance, motion - quality similar to the sony xbr. I am very pleased with the 240Hz solution for this large screen. The smaller Sony does equally well but has the smaller screen. Hope this is helpful somehow.
