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?
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.)
Is using an HDTV as your computer monitor bad for your eyes?
Q. I have a 28" 1080p hdtv, and was wondering if it would be bad to use it for long periods of time as a computer monitor. It'll be about a little over a foot or two from my face, as I'm sitting at a desk. Will this cause anything bad to happen to my eyes? Is there anyway to avoid this?
A. its just like using a lcd monitor. so no it probably isnt bad for your face.
