Need to buy a few 50" TVs to use as monitors. Computers only have VGA out. Anything special I should look for in a TV for this set up?
Doesn't need to be Smart TVs.
No gaming. Just internet usage and streaming video from our Intranet.
TIA

I'd look for a forum with a strong HTPC/Home Theater following. Which is not this forum as this forum seems to be as against it as humanly possible for some reason.

I have a 70 inch HDTV and a Projector that I use.
From my experience, low input response time is good. Especially if you're gaming online.
Then after that, AVSForum is what I used. I really just ONLY used that actually and read there. You can use hardforum too they have a pretty decent crowd following HTPC HDTVs if I'm not mistaken.

Otherwise
I'd look at the Vizio P Series as my first go to option. Then I'd use an adapter cable. Or a new video card so you can use HDMI or whatever.
