Alright just asking something I was checking the back of the tv and I saw this dvi input or ouput.. just wondering if its possible to get a dvi cable and then stick the comp to the hd tv.. will that work? cuz if so then heck might as well play my stuff on the big 46 inch tv.


I got the Hitatchi 46 inch HD monitor

I believe you can. You should read manual on the TV...it will tell you the correct answer though.

Yes, you can most definitely use your HDTV as a computer monitor. I recently puchased an HDTV set myself and am in the process of trying to get it working with a HTPC.

Unfortunately, for me, it hasn't been as simple as plugging DVI into the TV and having my PC screen apprear on the TV. The resolutions and refresh rates of your TV are different then that of a computer. You may have to make some adjustments to your drivers with a program called Powerstrip.

I recommend you check out http://www.avsforum.com/ where you'll find a ton of helpful resources on the subject in their HTPC forum.
