3D - 2

Can an lcd tv be connected to a CPU and used as a monitor.?

I've seen some large lcd's (32",42") which can be used for presentations etc. Is there a monitor jack for any popular brands of lcd tv's.I think Samsung's or Phillips' do.I was thinking of working on such a screen.Has n e one tried it?I do presentations and work with 3d softwares,graphics,etc.

1. yep, various DVI connectors would do the trick. Most of the moderm graphics cards by nvida and ati come with DVI connectors.
2. Yes, but: You need a video card that can handle it, and- The TV will have a variety of connectors on it, among the possibilities: DVI, VGA, Component, Composite, and S-Video. You will get best results connecting to a computer through Component, Composite, or S-Video, which most aftermarket video cards will handle.
3. yes... if your video card supports it.
4. Its done all the time, especially with Media Center PC's. All you have to do is match the ports on your graphics card to the ports on the television. If none match, you cant do it. DVI would probably be your best bet in such a situation (the white ports)
5. Yes, but you either need a video card with a TV out or a TV with a PC input. The PC input is a popular feature on most of the new LCD, DLP, and Plasma TVs these days
6. in fact yes it can..all you need is the proper cable..the computer and the LCD tv are fast becoming the entertainment center of the furture
