Which display should I pick?

[DreamssYT]

Okay, so I have 2 "monitors". One is really a monitor and one is a TV. Both play at 60Hz. I was in Overwatch and tried some experimenting and noticed that the smaller resolution one (1600x900) got a lot better frames then my TV (1920x1080) and I don't know which one I should really choose for gaming. On the 1080p one I get around 90-100 FPS on the in-game pratice range. I get about 130-140 on the smaller one. So I'm asking you all, which one would be better? (For a primary monitor. I use both already just which one would be better to be a primary?)

Monitor. (TVs are generally not good for up-close viewing and PC gaming in general)

You are getting more FPS because you're not rendering as many pixels.

 

Why not use both? 

Set the monitor as your primary "monitor" and your tv as your secondary "monitor"

Sorry, I should've been more specific, I was saying which one should I make my primary? I use both, but I was wondering which would be better for the main one.

I'd make the monitor your primary as it is designed for up-close viewing, and general PC usage, whilst the TV is not. 

 

However, it is up to you.

Well I was playing with on the Monitor and I think I'm gonna use it. Feels great playing games and doesn't feel choppy.
