Panasonic Plasma for computer / editing use?
If someone having experience with plasma tevevision could advise, that would be awesome.
I'm looking at either a Toshiba 42" LCD (which is clearly PC friendly according to the user manual) OR a Panasonic 42" Plasma TV (model TH-42PZ80U) which is a 1080P model. The problem: is it PC friendly? It has HDMI connectivity, but from what someone said, it will support video only. If I connect my PC to the TV it may not work for using as a monitor since it doesn't support RGB, or so I'm told. I'm getting confused. Is there a way to get this to work as a PC monitor? I do see that some Panasonic models mention PC connectivity. Any help would be appeciated! Thanks . . . Ian |

I've plugged my MacBookPro DVI output into the HDMI input of my Sony Bravia 52" 1920x1080 with a DVI->HDMI converter cable. It was difficult to get the MacBookPro to fill the screen unless I put it in dual screen mode.

LCD may be better as a PC Monitor. If you have the monitor on a desk and sitting close to the screen, say 2 ft away, LCD will look better & sharper. The Pixels on Plasma are bigger and meant to be seen from a distance. Which is why most plasmas are not PC friendly.
Just go to your store and stand 2 ft away from a Plasma and LCD screen and you'll see the difference! |
