Who uses their desktop computer with their TV?

I looking to buy another desktop computer and I was thinking about just setting it up to my TV. Desktop computers are coming with Blu-Ray players and wireless mice and keyboards. So why not just make your TV into a computer monitor?

I was wondering if anyone does this, and how do they like it?

I use mine for my 360. It's very convenient so I can watch tv on the big screen and use my PC/360 at the same time. I purchased a VGA box for it so I can switch between my PC/360 w/ the push of a button.

I have two friends who use theirs for TV/PC though and they seem to like it.

I have my main PC hooked to both a monitor and a 1080P TV so I can use it with either in my office. I have a laptop that I sometimes hook to another HDTV. Then of course I have an HTPC hooked to my main 1080P 58". I obviously love it.

i use my computer monitor to get HD tv, i record panthers games straight to my hardrive. It comes in at 720p.

A 24" computer monitor is large enough to handle 1080p and looks very good. They usually come with 1 or 2 hdmi inputs which makes them a great option if you don't want a large screen. A good monitor in that range is around 300 bucks(give or take $50).

And I would think about building your own computer too because you oculd really customize it without spending a bunch of extra dough. Those desktops can be very gimmicky with what they add on them. If you want blue-ray you will also want enough storage and processing/graphical power to handle it.

Hmmm, building my own computer. That sounds interesting.

      If we don't extend him, there is no way another team would offer him more than a one year $10m prove it deal lol.

      He isn’t but looking at what those guys are getting paid, paying him what he’s making now wouldn’t have been terrible, they should have and still should be looking at pairing some guys with brown to form a pretty dominant d line

      The Bryce hate is nearly laughable.  He looked like garbage the first two games, but has really, really shown improvement and growth.  People who know football are taking notice.  Will Bryce ever be Arron Rodgers, Farvre, Manning or any other hotshot gunslinger?  No, but I think he is a smart football player who has survived a lot more than most other QB's would have after 2.5 years.  So long as this injury doesn't linger I think you will see legitimate growth over the next two years, with a big leap coming next season. Reich and Brown not working together, Duce causing trouble behind the scenes.  Starting WR's of Mingo and Chark.  No legitimate scheme for the OL.  Fitterer's general incompetence. An owner who was desperate for attention.  How did Zac Wilson, Mariota, Winston, Tribuski, Rosen, Lawarence, Fields, Jones, Pickett, and Richardson fair after 2.5 years?  We see what happens when the Texans have not given Stroud the support. The 2018 draft had great talent, they just needed to mature, hell we wasted two of the top three drafted that year.  Outside of Allen, Mahomes, Jackson, Burrow, or Drake Maye, I'm not sure I really would want any other 1st round QB drafted in the past 10 years? RELAX......  Bryce is our guy as we grow as a team.  The only other option I currently see is maybe a buy low draft pick on Drew Allar if he falls to the third round or lower. Bryce is going to be extended.  He won't get Prescott money which would benefit our team going forward.  A mid range extension like Darnold or Baker got may be just the thing this team needs to keep growing.
