Of course not, thats ridiculous. Its just a display, like any other monitor.

 

Where the hell is your friend getting his information? Someone who tells you something that rediculous and believes that is putting zero effort into confirming things and is not someone to get information from.

It's the same thing as plugging PC to a monitor. TV is just a non gaming monitor with larger size. No, you have bad friends.

Its actually something that some people do for competitive FPSs, mainly for decreased latency (analog, so little/no signal processing on each end) and higher refresh rates (at least 72Hz, usually 100+), and their resolution isn't completely terrible (720p ish).

Your friend is a moron. Where the hell do you think TV's got the LCD tech from? It was Laptops. Some TV's even come with VGA. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

I completely forgot about the bill. I meant just leave them a few miles away and let their walk be their repentance.
