Hi,
I was recently looking around at different 32" tvs and I stumbled upon the Sharp LC-32D62U. Why I chose this tv was for a couple of reasons. It has a great contrast ratio, good looks, and most importantly full 1080p. Because of the high resolution I have since realized that it may be possible to get rid of my 17" LCD and use the HDTV instead (I know it is possible to use TVs as monitor because I have seen a friend do this before). But now having read that there are no DVI or VGA inputs for the TV, I am left wondering if this was all a pipe dream. My only other options that I can see as being feasible are using S-Video or the HD component outs. I have a good video card that has multiple video outs including the two options listed above so that wouldn't be a problem. Anyways my question is this... Would I be able to get away with using one of those two video connectors and still have the max resolution? Or will it be trashy and not worth the money?
Thanks,
Jake
