42'' ilo plasma TV PDP4210EA1 as monitor

I have an old 42'' ilo plasma TV PDP4210EA1, and I would like to know if it is possible to use as a computer monitor. I know that model was not made with that feature, but maybe someone knows some kind of cable adapter that can connect to one of its inputs.
Thanks
Matuba

The resolution of that plasma is extremely low, you will gonna have problems viewing even the simplest site an most programs wiil display badly - they need at least 800x600.
But for movies it will work just fine. Use an S-video cable from the video card to the tv and it should be automatically recognized. Configure it like any other tv, just make sure you select its native resolution - 852x480 - for best quality image.

I have an ILO 42" Plasma, model PDP4210EA1. TV was playing and made a sound like a "bug zapper", screen went black, but sound never went off.

The noise was an internal component frying. It will probably be cheaper to get another TV.

Ihave a 42" ilo plasm tv model number PDP4210EA1 i've had it for three years picture went black and only sound is comming out, anything i can do to get picture back at a reasonable price

I've had a same problem with a similar TV. The odds are the power supply board for the screen has failed. Most manufactures call it a Backlight Inverter board. If you have some electronic experience, you can some times find a Service Manual for your TV on the internet for less than $20. It will have all the research material for repairing the damaged circuit board.
