TV on a PC

[27-bit]

how will using a TV on my pc affect gaming? And yes i know its not the best thing to do but in my country all monitors are rubbish a 23' FULL HD LED for 130$ !!!!! so i think a 27' tv will be a better choice?

Doubt it - TV's tend to have a lot longer response time so you'll suffer if FPS games. What country are we talking about here?

Lebanon.. even if it was like a 200hz tv?

200hz is not a real 200hz panel, but the backlight is what its tweeked.

TV's have a lot of input lag, so you wont be able to use them for fps gaming and such.

Thats a bit of an over exaggeration. Of course he can use it...

What do consoles use?

If you're lucky you might be able to find something like a "game mode" somewhere in the TV's settings. This will reduce the response time by turning off the post-processing that the TV does

You would be better off using a monitor because of input lag, but a TV would work.

Though I have seen a few problems with resolutions when using HDMI to connect to a TV. Though I think that it is because of another connected monitor.
