I bought this TV to use as a monitor with a Mac Mini (2009). It works very well. I realize that an IPS monitor would have better color resolution and viewing angle but at ~1/3 the price the P2770HD was worth consideration. Initially I set it up with an HDMI connection and HATED it.

With HDMI the screen was blocky with poor color and luminance control. Not quite like an interlaced picture but more like a scaling error. This is just my impression. The price was too good for me to just return it without another chance so I bought a VGA cable to try that connection. Night and day difference in a good way.

The image is now great with the VGA connection. Sharp and clear it even acts like a monitor and goes to sleep when there is no signal present, wakes when the signal resumes!

Maybe I expected too much from the HDMI connection but under VGA I couldn't be happier.

I have not evaluated it as a TV.
