Hi guys, I'm having a little issue here.
I'm using my 32" widescreen LCD HDTV as my pc monitor, but I can't find the correct screen size. Is there any tool/utility/setting that could make my 32" hdtv a good monitor?

Oh and another issue, how do I make my TV speakers play as my pc speakers?

haha, sweet. ive thought about that. having a huge display and stuff.
umm the speakers might be an issue, cause most TV's dont have a speaker slot.
u might want to upgrade your video drivers.... and see if they come with the correct resolution.

32 inch makes me drool, you're lucky!:)

As for sound, it should work with a RCA to 1/4 TRS (Headphone) Jack wire:

If you don't have RCA inputs, look for other audio inputs. If you don't know what audio inputs are, type the brand and model number (not serial #) and we'll find something else.

PS: DON'T buy Monster cables, they're not worth it.

My friend uses one for his iPod and the nylon wire cover came off the RCA adapters, exposing the inner cables. It's the suck! ^^;

I Have a 24" I just use VGA and it works great but when you play like cs you get killed from the side because you sit close to a computer monitor unlike a tv so good luck with at 32" lol...
