It seems that television companies are now putting RGB ports (or VGA ports, whichever you choose) into their TVs. Many of the newer video cards are putting HDMI ports into their system. There are advantages and disadvantages to this. And this blog will cover each of them. We'll start with TVs as computer monitors. I've been using my television as a monitor for a couple of years. And to be honest, I find the concept worthwhile. It does save money because you won't have to buy two separate devices and also space in your office (or bedroom, or whatever). I also find this concept a little strict because if you don't have the right adapter (i.e DVI, DVI-D, etc), you won't get a signal from your computer or laptop. Finding the correct plug is a little bit of a guessing game because some video cards run on "harder to find" adapters. Next on the agenda is HDMI on video cards. One thing I like about this is that you don't have to guess which port and adapter you need. Another advantage is that the cords themselves are easy to find. The biggest disadvantage to this is that the picture quality isn't as clear or sharp as a VGA connection and resolution is extremely limited. I know this for a fact because I've done recording and I can only do so with an HDMI connection. Overall, I think this is a huge step in the right direction for users because in this day and age, technology is improving, but is also costing more because resources are very limited and you can only do so much with it.
