I'm using my smart tv as my monitor with this ACER desktop pc. I don't watch TV, but a person could, obviously set this up as source 1 as TV and source 2 as internet. The Acer came with all the utilities as described, ie. right number of USB ports, HDMI ports, etc.  It shuts itself down fairly quickly if I walk away, and then I have to go through several steps to get back online which can be annoying. Click source, select HDMI II/PC, enter pin, x out of explorer and BING, now I'm back to Firefox and Youtube or email, etc. This might be due to my not knowing how to fix the settings otherwise.  So far, I haven't figured out a way around it. Color is true, picture is clear, text is fine.
