I have a Samsung 46" LN46A550P3F LCD TV with a VGA port connected to a Dell Inspiron 530s slim PC and I want to upgrade the TV to LED but I can't find any new LED TVs with VGA ports. The PC is maxed out on its power supply and it's questionable whether I could get an HDMI card to work with it (some video cards worked and others didn't, though I haven't tried an HDMI card yet and I'm afraid I'll be playing wack-a-mole with it). The PC runs fine and I have no other reason to upgrade, though I am looking into other options (even a NUC or something like that with an IR blaster and remote for Windows might work better). I am afraid of Windows 8 at this point so I'm not sure what I lose if I use 7.
Can someone recommend a comparable LED TV that I can make work with a VGA port? I'd like a comparable Samsung to the one I have (I skipped upgrading when they were out just for financial reasons), or even just a good-quality LED that I can rely on that will last at least 5 years. I've heard big-screen TVs nowadays are just not built to last like they used to be. I don't need 120Hz or 3-D (though 3-D would be nice), just enough ports for the computer, a video player, and a game station. I've been sadly disappointed at the options on the store shelves right now.
