Yes, it is possible to connect your PC to the TV using any HCMI port on the TV. Once connected, you'll have to change the input on your TV to the HDMI you chose to connect your PC to. The PC Input is for a different port on your TV.

A bit of a suggestion/FYI...once connected, the PC may still not show up on your TV. I've had to restart my PC (while connected to the TV) so that the TV will pick up the newly connected device. If you still have issues, there a number of articles on the web to help.
