[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] superbunnie Why does nobody but myself use TV's as monitors? Just personal preference? I thought it was a nice alternative to buying a new monitor...[/quote]I have a 27" Vizio edge lit for a monitor hooked up with HDMI. It works pretty well but I do a lot of work with MS Excel and the one gripe I've found so far is calculated fields don't fully refresh when you change variables. I have to minimize the screen to get it to come back clean. I'm betting this is the difference between a TV and a monitor.
