    Hi, I need a 50"+ tv as a display for a computer, only real requirement is decent picture quality, decent warranty, price and a VGA port.

    Have your anything that would suit?

    Hi Qwerty?.

    Thanks for the post.

    Pretty much any 50" TV could be used as a monitor. The issue may be getting one with a VGA as it is a pretty old connection at this point as nearly everything has moved to HDMI.

    Even the like of the Hisense 50N6800 has no VGA.

    I'll need to go do a bit of checking but off the top of my head I can't think of any with a VGA.

    I'll have a check and revert back.

    Thanks, I would appreciate that. That's the issue I found, vga gone from tvs. Just thought you might have a one laying around

    Hi Qwerty?,

    I have had a look round and I can't find any TVs that we stock with a PC input I'm afraid. We also don;t have any old stock lying around with a VGA input. The last I saw with VGAs were the Sharp Aquos but that was about 2-3 years ago.

    Let me know what you think.

    Kind regards

    David
