Does Using a HDTV for computer monitor hurts eyes or give lower display quality than monitor?

Q. Does Using a HDTV for computer monitor hurts eyes or give lower display quality than monitor of the same size.
my HDTV is 26" 720p
I am thinking about a 24" 1080 or high def. what do you think?

A. the bigger and more powerful your display the more power your computer will give out,
what i mean by this is the bigger screen you use the better Video card you'll need. ex. If you are using a 17 inch screen a cheaper 60-70 dollar card will run fine but as you increase the size the better/high-end card you will need. so if you spend the money on the computer you will not get bad quality


Are there health risks / downsides to using a HDtv as a computer monitor?
Q. I am looking to purchase a new computer monitor soon and my options are to buy a 27" computer monitor or a 32" HDTV. Both are the same price and resolution. The 32" size is appealing to me but are some other issues/specs i should consider?

PS: This will be sitting on my computer desk so I will be sitting approximately 2-3 feet away from it.

A. I don't think there are any downsides using a HDTV as a computer monitor. This is how you can turn a HDTV into a computer monitor:

1. If you don't have a DVI (Digital Video Interface) Card installed on your computer, buy an external DVI card.

2. Find the HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) interface. Most HDTVs have this.

3. Attach the DVI into the HDMI. Connect your HDMI cord to the HDMI input on your television and the DVI to the DVI input on your computer.

4. Turn on the computer and HDTV. The computer's resolution may be different from the HDTV resolution, so you will have to adjust the resolution of the HDTV. You will find instructions in the manual of your HDTV on how to do this.


Is it possible to use a HDTV as a COMPUTER monitor?
Q. Is a HDTV better than, or at least comparable to, a computer monitor for use with a computer?

And if so, which HDTV and computer would be the best combination?

A. If your computer has HDMI output, just use an HDMI cable to connect it to the TV. If it doesn't, you're using VGA output, so the picture can't ever be better than VGA. (And it'll cost you about $100 for a decent VGA to HDMI converter.)
