Will this LCD be ok for my computer?

Uhh, thats a television, not a monitor. Its very low resolution (for 27" that is), and it has no DVI port, so you wouldn't be getting a digital signal.
 
DVI: No (15-Pin D-Sub for PC and HDTV Tuner)

it doesnt have DVI it's made by a untrustworthly company and it's a tv ussualy dont work to well as monitors as monitors are higher quality than hdtv's.
 
ahh ok, confused the "d-sub" with dvi.. but that means the clarity will not be legible? even with the use of other components?
 
For that kinda money, you could get a Dell 20" FPW LCD. Granted, it's smaller, but it's about $200 less, has much better resolution, much better for gaming, and add a TV tuner and you can watch TV on it too
 
If you're looking of an LCD to double as a PC check out Olevia tv's, fairly priced and good quality. I have'nt tried hooking mine up to my pc since there is no room for it but I'm pretty sure it is 8ms too.
 
Whats with you and picking out TV's for monitors? There not going to make good PC and gaming monitors unless it's a half-way decent LCD.
 
I want a large display to use for my computer. Why won't it make a good gaming monitor? And what would you suggest I get thats 26 or more inches?
 
If anyone can just talk me through this whole TV to PC situation, that I apparently don't understand, It would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm looking to purchase a television tomorrow.
 
Thanks however I really cannot see the extra $200 being justified over a simple DVI instead of VGA? Anyone care to elaborate in a reason why the $200 is worth it?
 
DVI=Sharper

Look, when you use VGA this is what happens to the signal. Digital in videocard->analog out VGA port->In monitor back to digital.
When you use DVI it's digital ALL THE WAY and thus increases quality and sharpness. Have you ever tried VGA on a LCD? I could stand it, but I prefer the extra sharpness of DVI.
 
you're talking about using something as a pc monitor that really isn't designed to do so. it WILL do it, obviously, but that's not the intent. it's probably better now on LCDs than it was on tube/projection tvs, but still. every little bit helps. but it's your money, spend ahoy.
 
You are still linking televisions, not monitors. The resolution is too low for such a large screen. Yes you can use it as a monitor, but it won't be much fun since the pixels will be HUGE, thus you'll need to sit like 6 feet back to enjoy it. Do you like typing at your computer desk from 6 feet away?

when the screen is that big you don't want to be right up close to it 😉
