Use the TV as a monitor for your PC by connecting a HD15-HD15 cable as shown below. This TV can 
also be connected to a PC with a DVI or HDMI output. (Refer to the separate Quick Setup Guide.)
~
• Connect the PC IN jack to the PC using an HD15-
HD15 cable with ferrite core (analog RGB) and audio 
cable (see page 11). 
• If the PC is connected to the TV and no signal has been 
input from the PC for more than 30 seconds, the TV 
enters the standby mode automatically (see page 53).
PC Input Signal Reference Chart
After connecting the PC to the TV, set the output signal from the PC according to the supported resolutions 
and timings indicated below.
~
• This TV’s PC input does not support Sync on Green or 
Composite Sync.
• This TV’s PC VGA input does not support interlaced 
signals.
• Your PC must support one of the above PC input 
signals to display on the television.
• For the best picture quality, it is recommended to use 
the signals (boldfaced) in the above chart with a 60 Hz 
vertical frequency. In plug and play, signals with a 60 
Hz vertical frequency will be detected automatically. 
(PC reboot may be necessary.)
* The 1080p timing when applied to the HDMI input will 
be treated as a video timing and not PC timing. This 
affects Picture settings, Wide Mode settings, and PIP 
function. To view PC content set Picture Mode to 
CustomWide Mode to Full, and Display Area to 
Full Pixel.
