You've already bought the thing? Well... why not try it and see?
You'll get a better image if you connect the DVI socket of your PC to the HDMI socket on the TV than if you use a VGA (HD-15) cable.0 -
Worth a try. One of my sons has a 22" LCD TV as his monitor, it's perfectly acceptable to him (though I prefer the dedicated displays as they just seem..erm..crisper? No idea why)Utinam logica falsa tuam philosophiam totam suffodiant.0

Most of the cheaper small tvs have low resolutions compared to dedicated monitors
Also, as theyre tvs, many use 'filters' which isnt good for pc usage:idea:0 -
Worth a punt but like said most cheap tv's dont take high resolution and only use vga, you can get some that do. It might be fine for occasionally browsing etc and play media though0

Thanks everyone, have decided to buy a dedicated monitor, what do you think of this one?
