Yes, it has a 15-pin female DB-15 port marked "RGB8 PC" on the back. This is an analog input so be sure the video card in your computer can supply this signal and has a compatible cable. I have never tried it for this purpose so I cannot comment on it. I suggest that you go to the Vizio website and download the complete instruction manual which explains how to set up the TV as a computer monitor.

I'm wondering the same thing. You can get component video to VGA converters but that will only convert the signal at the same resolution, so it depends on whether this monitor will support resolutions like 480i and 480p. Does anyone know???

Your TV still has to be capable of handling the resolution of the PC's output. For example, if the PC output is 1080p and your TV cannot handle that video resolution, it will not work.

This computer has a HDMI and VGA output. As long as your monitor has one of these inputs you will be fine.

Yes it should be able to, I used to have it on a 1920x 1080 monitor, which is full HD.

Yes you can use it as a monitor for internet content, Office, Excel documents, etc. However, you will need a graphics card installed in your computer for any gaming or Photoshop work.

No, this unit will not have the resolution to be able to do that. it is nice for the price but to do what you want to do you have to get a more expensive unit.

Not sure, I used it to convert composite video output to a vga input so I could use it with a computer monitor.

Presuming you have a VGA port on both the computer and the monitor. Considering it is the most common type of connection for computers and monitors, it's safe to assume you can.

Yes you can use this tv as a computer monitor. This is what i use my Seiki 32 inch for. I had this same question before i purchased this tv a year ago. Its well worth every penny.

I use it in 720 and, for my purposes (golf swing analysis), it is more than enough. I believe that you can still use 1080 but have not tried that as 720 is more than enough for my purposes. Could send a link to youtube but I believe that would be erased.

Yes, using VGA adapter or HDMI output. It's a good picture. The stand is a little flimsy. If your desk is not stable, this big monitor shakes pretty easily.

I used a DVI to HDMI cable and I am getting 1080p.If you video card supports it, you will get 1080p.If you use the vga connector, than maybe 720p is the max?

Not without modifications. This unit has the old VGA plug from the monitor and into the computer. You would either need a VGA to HDMI adapter, or a different interface unit. I'm sure I saw them for HDMI. I had to really look to find this unit with the old style plug.

Yes, it can be used as a monitor. This link will take you to the owners manual which references connections to a PC on page 21:http://www.lg.com/lgecs.downloadFile.ldwf?DOC_ID=KROWM000516209&ORIGINAL;_NAME_b1_a1=MFL67651192_32LN5300-UB.AUS.pdf&FILE;_NAME=KROWM000516209.pdf&TC;=DwnCmd
