55 vizio
How can I turn my Vizio television into a computer monitor?
I just got a Vizio television at Sam's Club. It's a huge tv- 55 inches!
I want to make it into a computer monitor, especially for when I have friends over.
Could you please tell me what I need to do so? I have a laptop which i would prefer to use, but also a computer that is across the house from the tv.
I need to know what I need, what to do with it, and where to get it.
Thanks so much! All help is appreciated!
There are many ways to do this, depending on the inputs and outputs on your devices. If your laptop has an HDMI output (long and rectangular, often gold-plated), use that, as all HDTVs have that, if not, your laptop will likely have a VGA output (Trapezoid shaped). Cables for these are usually quite expensive. The resolution should be fine, I have a 110 inch screen and it looks fine.
