Tv as a monitor? Cons and pros?

[admin_exported]

Im thinking of getting a tv for my room as well as using it as a tv monitor to do my work on What's yr thoughts on this? Any help would be great? I'm looking at getting a tv no bigger than 26inch. And just 1 other thing would using a tv be worse on yr eyes than a monitor? Thanks in advance for any advice

Some tvs don't automatically do pixel to pixel formatting but overscan which makes it a little blury. Others do. All the tv processing is for tv pictures not pc signals so the ability to turn off any picture enhancements is also good. Apart from that they work fine for me.

i use a 37" 720 panny plasma tv for computer use / tv viewing . space saving as otherwise id have half teh room taken up with 2 set-ups 🙂 but going from my old crt 19" IIyama monitor has ment ive had to sacrifice being a gaming god lol as teh resolution and input lag means i get creamed now 🙁 . but on sayign that you mention no higher than 26" so i assume you will be getting a 1080p tv , which will be slightly better for you , although if you play fps online you will still suffer slightly.

worth doing tho imo 🙂
