It could be. I've never seen a "Hanns G". My new Samsung TV certainly
works just fine as a monitor and displays all the normal PC resolutions
even while booting, and there are some weird ones, like 720x400 or
something. And it looks every bit as good as a PC monitor, especially
once it finishes booting and is running native 1920x1080.

Buy one at Costco and return it if it doesn't work out?

Cheers,

Bob
