TV's generally do not have a sufficiently good frequency response. Computers, in turn, are not usually configured to use a TV as a monitor. They do not encode their signals on the frequencies that a TV expects.
How do i use my tv as a computer moniter?
My TV has only Audio/Visual and Coaxial ports and my computer has only usb ports.
Thanks
Mike
