PC to PLASMA?

Post by Grant »

Hello all. Quick question. I am thinking of buying a plasma screen tv. Is it possible to hook a pc up to it through some fashion if need be?

I wouldn't be suprsied if some of the plasmas have computer moniter hook up ports on the back of them, I know I was reading about one a while ago that did. I think its becoming more common, but I could be wrong its very early in the morning.

If you get an LCD many more ship with DVI connections as standard.

Also, LCD uses a LOT less power than plasmas do - Expect your electricity bill to go up with a Plasma.

get a warranty for a couple of years if you buy a plasma, had to get mine fixed three times in in two years, and the plasma at my work went again the other week!
