Curiously I can't get it to do anything with a PC connection, using an RGB
cable. I've tried both my PC and a laptop, and neither do anything (and the
TV's definitely detected as a monitor, and my Windows desktop is extended
onto it, and running at a compatible resolution and refresh rate). Anyone
got any ideas?

Do you really mean an RGB cable? or a VGA cable? Oddly enough the specs on that
web site state "Input port 5: PC In (no RGB)".

Have you tried DVI-HDMI with a suitable converter cable or plug?

Thanks for the reply.

It was my own dumb fault! On the menu there's the option to choose between
component VGA and RGB VGA. It was set to component, hence wasn't working.

Clearly the site's wrong also :-)

I think I will do long term, as the guy at Sharp said (whether true or not)
that VGA connections can't produce 1080P. But the HDMI connection can.
