Q. ...does not support PC formats?
I own the LCDTV Viewsonic(3235) and I would like to use this with a home theatre personal (HTPC) desktop computer for recording from TV and FM radio stations. I also want to use the (HTPC) desktop as a digital/analog TV tuner. Do I have to purchase any electronic parts in order to make the LCDTV and HTPC compatible?

A. Well, if I'm correct your lcd tv has a vga input. You can hook your computer up via this input. The only thing the tv will do is act as a monitor. It is not going to help you record anything.
For recording you will need a tv tuner card for your pc. A tv tuner will allow you to watch tv as well as record tv.
There are two types of tv tuner cards. There can be digital or analog. Digital can be used to get Over the Air(OTA) broadcasts which are HD resolutions. Analog cards are used to get regular broadcasting hooked up via cable tv or antenna.
There are many tv tuner cards available. A good start would be the ATI all in wonder cards.
I think there are some cards that have both a analog and a digital tuner in one card.
Here's one such card:

This should have you set in your HTPC.
Here's an article that will help you build a HTPC and what components you will need.

It might be a little over the top, but it's a general idea of what a HTPC should be capable of.

Best ViewSonic monitor for playing on an Xbox 360?
Q. I was researching good TV's to play video games on, and couldn't find any. They all had lag. Now, I've decided that I'm going to get a monitor to play games on. I found out that ViewSonic had good monitors especially for console gaming, so which one is the best? I really want the best one available at this time. Thank you.
A. Hi........again, ha ha. Well, when it comes to gaming just as anyone you want the best quality, which gives you a better experience. I like what you've picked considering they also have available 3D versions http://www.viewsonic.com/assets/039/11136.pdf . From what I've learned is that the Viewsonic in general has good or decent Color-depth and Brightness. Not to mention excellent Response time, which is always important to have. I would go with the ViewSonic Vx2250wm-led LCD Monitor.
It was voted best for the 2010-2011 years & out of all the Viewsonic selections. Don't take my word for it though, double check, because it costs $169 - $175 so if you do buy it make sure you pick the one you're absolutly positive you want.
PS - Yes I'm a Movie,gaming, and Space nerd. and proud of it! :D
