Re: 40"tv to Windows 7 pc help please
You'll find compared to a normal monitor it'll be crap, the pixels will be ridiculously large, it'll be blurrier than a proper monitor and the end result will be unsatisfying, possibly even causing you nausea (as I found out when I tried my father in laws 37 inch TV as a monitor, it was ... well crap. A £199 TV as a monitor... presumably you'll be watching it at a typical monitor distance away, versus the distance that you watch TV from ?

This is the big reason why TV screens don't make fantastic monitors, they're designed to be viewed from 6+ feet away, versus 18 inches or so for a monitor.

Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Oh and if your PC has a HDMI output on the graphics card, use that in preference to VGA or anything else.
