Has anyone used this as a computer monitor? Would this be a bteer deal than a dedicated monnitor?

I have not tried this, but I suspect that it depends on what you want to do on it. Plain text, like document editing would probably be OK. Images, like editing photographs, undoubtedly would not be satisfactory.

Sorry I'm not tech savvy so I use it only as a TV. Can't help with this question.

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.

I use the BenQ specifically for PC gaming. It works great. I'm very happy with the purchase. I have a 3 monitor setup with the BenQ in the middle and a couple cheaper monitors for the outside. I can definitely tell the different in quality.

I am am mainly interested in this unit as a 3D gaming monitor for a new PC (for Guild Wars 2/SW:ToR/Diablo 3 etc) the closest I can find is this ViewSonic V3D245 24-Inches LED 3D-Ready Monitor - Black So, so far the SONY is looking the better deal, I would appreciate as much comparison shopping data as possible if anyone has more specs etc, thank you.

Yes, I have used this for computer detail work (web design, photo editing etc) and been very happy with the resolution/view. I have also used it to view movies and other streaming video from 8-10 feet away and at various angles with no problem what so ever. Would definately buy it again.

I do not use the monitors to play games. Yes, I do have two mounted next to each other. However I do use them professionally. Software development and other related tasks. They are superb: responsive, true colors, no discernible after imaging and easily adjustable, when needed. Hope this helps, good luck.BCh.

Yes, it is an awesome monitor. I had to turn the brightness down, but this is true with any monitor really. I get eye strain, but this is a personal thing. However, it is an awesome monitor well worth the price. Asus makes great hardware.

I understand now. However I can not help you with a connection to a computer. I use mine only as a TV, connected to my U-verse Gateway, Apple TV, DVD player and Polk stereo system. Has worked great for me for the past several years. No experience connecting to a computer. Why would you? Great TV set but can not understand why you would want it as another monitor... Sorry!

You may want to look at the review of this monitor over at tftcentral. They cover all the details.

I have never used a Chromebox but I use this monitor to work from home and I love it. I normally forget to turn it off but that has never been an issue. The color is great and the size is awesome. I would recommend this for any use as a monitor. Hope the feedback works :)

yes we used it as computer monitor frequently for playing videos or video games. It works very well with both HDMI and VGA connection.

absolutely true. I use it for a monitor myself, it looks fantastic. Sounds crappy though, as many other people have pointed out. But I have my computer hooked up through a separate head unit and amp for surround sound anyways, and just use that volume control all the time.

Personally I would not buy it. When I received mine it did not work, I had to send it back to them at my cost about $25.00 with insurance and then about 2 weeks later I got my Monitor. If I wanted a refurbished one I could have bought it for less money and got the same thing.

No experience here. We just use it for a large computer monitor in our conference room.

I have used this on a NUC as the only monitor. I had to set it up first with a real monitor, but then I use the Liliput anytime I need to quickly access the box for random things (not a primary system).It is not seen as a video device by the BIOS, so you will not see any video until the OS has come up. This means that if you have a problem with your OS, this monitor will do you no good in getting it resolved.
