Tv vs monitor

[Gsgamer]

Hey guys I just wanna know which is better- 150$ tv vs 75$ monitor for a pc..

I use pc for everything (gaming , surfing etc)

Thanks!

PS:- I already have a 150$ pc so If the diff is small it will work . Thanks

The monitor would be your best choice, TVs usually have input lag and high response times (I think).

The cheapest unless you have use for the TV outside the PC

Input lag on TVs are bad and annoying to play on when playing competitive games. If you aren't playing competitive games then it won't matter as much but I would get the monitor personally

[Max_Settings]

If you are gaming, don't use a TV

[Rampaging_Tomato]

That depends on what kind of gaming you do, and what else you need it for. What are the specs on the monitor and TV?

another thread where we just repeat what Linus said like its holy prophecy. Yes a TV has higher input lag, and yes it will be a detriment if you play competitive gaming, but the point is that if you are playing those kind of games, you already know damn well that you don't buy a TV, and if you don't play those kinds of games, the input lag means absolutely fuck all. Keep in mind that almost all console players use TV's.

 

I appreciate that Linus is a very reputable source of information, but there i still space for using your own common sense and logic.
