That means you can hook a PC up to it anyway with just a specialised cable.
The problem is, trying to find a damned cable to do it though! I've tried the usual retailers and had a good rake through Maplins on Saturday. No joy. Trawling the net turned up some which were described as RGB/HV to VGA, rather than the other way round, so I was going to ring up and make sure they would work. Anybody manage to source one of these cables from anywhere? Why Philips didn't just include a VGA socket is beyond me, particularly when they've included a fancy USB Multimedia input... which is pretty cool I have to say!

Pleased you like the set MoFoHo. I'm pleased with it too. I really think it comes into its own when showing Hi Def. I have Telewest TVDrive and the picture looks stunning through that. I wouldn't say there's absolutley no motion blur. Fast, long distance pans of the football do show a tad but it's nothing to write home about and pretty much all LCD's have some by nature of the technology. And given the amount of football I've watched over the last two weeks, it's probably my square eyes anyway
