    Default 32" HDTV

    I have a Baird 32" LCD 1080p TV with a VGA port. Would this be suitable as a monitor or am i better off getting an actual computer monitor.

    It'll certainly work but connect via HDMI if you can. Worth giving it a try and if you don't like it, get a monitor later. Trying is free!

    it will be 1080p mate it will look fine

    i use the vga on my 32tv to connect up tho because it looks sharper on text and gives a few more settings than hdmi (on my tv)
