Hi you guys, I was just wondering if any of you have tested this TV to use as a monitor on Windows. Is it true native 1080p resolution? Or is it re-escalated? Is it good for gaming? Look for Samsung website the model, I can't post the link here UN39FH5005G Have any of you tested it? Because Im not even able to find YouTube videos or reviews Keep in mind that this one has only 1x HDMI port and no VGA port, so that is why my concern Will I be able to plug like a dock to it so I can have more HDMI ports and a VGA Port?
Yes you should be able to use that TV as a monitor. It is a 1080p TV and it should be fine for gaming. I use a ua40H6300 as a monitor and I only need to connect it via HDMI and then set it to extend desktop in Windows. What you need for your port problem is a HDMI Switcher. http://www.amazon.com/Kinivo-301BN-...&qid=1420186875&sr=1-1&keywords=hdmi+switcher If you really need the VGA connection, you can use an adapter.
Why not invest the money that you plan on putting into a switch and get a better TV that has multiple inputs instead.
I'm not sure it actually has only 1 hdmi anyway, spec sheets are quite often wrong, especially on models that there are no reviews for.
No it wouldn't. Text would be blurrier, general browsing would be a pain. I don't know about actual resolution too because Samsung is just lying all over the place with spec sheet. And don't even get me started on their "Clear Motion Rate" marketing bullcrap. I wouldn't recommend it.
Honestly it's a bit of a who knows as far as actual resolution goes, I would be willing to say that it is likely a 39" newish TV is for sure 1080p, especially from samsung. I have no idea what you're talking about with text being blurry or broswing being a pain though.
I've been using HDTV's as second monitors and for some reason the text seems all blurry. Google it its very common, I don't think this one is an exception.
That'd vary from tv to tv, i've only owned a toshiba and a samsung and the text has pretty much been fine for me. You need to make sure to turn off all sharpening if you use it as a monitor though, it's not designed for desktop.
I really don't think Samsung would make a 39" TV and lie about native resolution, I think it shuld look fine to hook up the PC, but I was not sure so that's why I was asking.
I don't think so either, but I can't be sure, the only real google searches for this model are two threads you created here and somewhere else. Actually wait, I realised the fh5005g is likely a regional model (no idea what the difference is really), but there is info on the fh5000 on google. http://reviews.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/samsung-lcd-tv/samsung-un39fh5000.html And from there it looks like the fh5000 is just a redesign of the f5000. Of which there is a bunch of info. http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/samsung-ue32f5000-201308253262.htm https://www.avforums.com/review/samsung-f5000-ue42f5000-led-lcd-television-review.10102 https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q=samsung+f5000
Thank you guys for all your advices and replies. I will definetely try to change my JVC TV for this one, it's only a $200 more expensive and let you know about it! I saw it working today at the store, it was playing a "test video" which look fine, but we cannot trust in that of course haha, at least image was neat.
Good luck with the new TV monitor I have a Samsung UE32ES6710, it is a 32 inch screen, 1080p. I use it as my main and only PC screen and it fits perfectly to all my needs - browsing, editing, movies and gaming. No blurry or similar issues
