Would you guys use a LED TV as a monitor? Don't want to buy a monitor and want to use that one instead until it dies. But I am not sure how long it will last tho

    @Floydian I do watch television from time to time. But not on this TV. We have one in the living room. If I feel like watching, I just switch rooms. But on this one, I can do whatever I want.

    The thing on top of the television where the cable is splitted is a modified smd led light stripe js

    @Floydian holy moly...
    Oh no... it's not wall mounted. I could mount it on a wall. I have the equipment. But my room is way too small for that.
    It'd be better to just let it stand there + it hides some cables hahahhaha

    I got a random thought. I could actually drill down the table and put the cables through that hole. Maybe I should do that

    Most TV's has noticable input lag. You can feel it while moving the mouse. Nothing you can't get used to, but still, not pretty

    I tried. I really did, but the quality was just not good enough at that proximity.

    I bought myself a cheap-ish BenQ and haven’t looked back.

    I suppose if you’re considering using the computer from a couch, then a TV could be a decent way to go.

    Might be a bit hard to make text out properly though.

    @WilliamDyer not on mine. I just tested it. It's on the same speed as my laptop's monitor.

    @Brolls true. It's not sharp enough and is kind of too big haha

    Fuck. Forgot that its quality gets shrinked on dR

    @-ANGRY-CLIENT- ouch. Yeah, that’s the problem I had.

    Honestly though, the monitor is a great way to go, and you can get decent ones for a few hundred.

    Latency would bother me.

    @Bitwise what about stuck and even dead pixels?

    TVs often have image processing which you cannot fully turn off, like artifical sharpening or other “improvement”. When using a TV as a monitor that really shows
