Can I use at TV as a monitor?

[FATALgamer14]

I know the answer is yes, but what i mean is can you use a tv as a monitor to play games, and have the picture quality stay good.

Well yes but you'd likely be stuck at playin' in 640x480 as this is all most TV's will display though some will display 800x600 (some of the later HDTV's I believe may do better but I can't be positive on that).

If u played games with a TV as ur monitor it would work fine assuming ur vid card has an output u can hook up to ur TV. Only problem is it would end up looking like console graphics cuz of the much lower resolution :snip: I guess its personal preference, but I'd much prefer a nice monitor at 1280x1024 or 1600x 1200 cuz the graphics are so much better looking :thumb:
