Can a 50 inch Plasma TV be used as a computer monitor?
I am planning on buying a flat panel plasma TV, and I was also hoping to use it as my computer monitor. I am thinking of purchasing the Samsung LA50Q7HDX, which has a native resolution of 1024×768 and HDMI inputs. Having said that, I am looking to purchase a video card that has HDMI output (expensive). I am mainly concerned about display quality as I use the computer for both work and gaming.
Do I have to adjust the display to widescreen on the computer? Feel free to let me know what you guys think.
if your new plasma has a monitor input,ie vga or dvi plug,then you can connect your pc easily to it.you will need to find out what outputs your graphics card will have. most have s-video and dvi so these would be perfect to use for a connection. recommend dvi over s-video.once you have made the connection then look on your pc under appearence and themes,display,monitor and see if your plasma is available to select as a second monitor.or even better do it with your graphics card software.with nvidia you can have two monitor and ghost the picture to your plasma,all the adjustments can be made here to get the resolution,picture format etc sorted.
should be straight forward. good luck.
ps. you can also use s-video to scart on the plasma,but the quality will be poor on a large screen,and you will need scart addapters etc.

If you purchased an HDMI output card, you probably wouldn't have to worry about display quality, you would just have to worry about whether or not it will actually work. If the plasma TV had a monitor input, its like the thing on the back of your computer except the opposite, it should work, but I don't know if you could use it through HDMI, I don't think that's ever been tried.

probably, but it should be easy and flawless, especially with a HDMI card/inputs.
i wish i could get a 50" plasma computer monitor/TV! i know this from a friend who did the same with a 32" plasma screen. The quality is amazing, and he switched between cable, xbox 360, and his computer, so it's all good.

It is my opinion that a LCD HDTV panel would work better for you. The new 1080p panels would work great. Cost wise the 720p-1080i should do an acceptable job. Plasma panels can get image burn in when a static display is left on to long. Do a little more research to find the HDTV that fits your needs. I have a Plasma and love it but for movies and TV only.
