[SOLVED] Monitor VS TV....

[kdw75]

I am wanting to upgrade one of my computers monitors and I really can't see the benefit of a monitor over a TV, which is larger and about the same price. The TV is 10-bit, 4:4:4 as is the monitor. The difference being that the TV is about 10 inches larger. I can't figure out why the monitors cost more yet don't have a receiver. It is frustrating trying to find info online because they all seem to be focused on gaming, which this machine will never do. What are they offering for the extra money?

I would think one of the biggest issues is lag. TV tend to be slower than monitors in a very general sense.

Personally bought my last TV with gaming as a (background) important feature. I ended up getting a Samsung 7xxx series IIRC, but it offers a low lag game mode and does 1080/120. It's a 4K unit with the "high definition color" thing, which was rather frustrating getting to turn off for games. It trashes the proper color with it on....

You would have to define the specific models to see the exact differences.

I am currently using a TV and it is top tier for gaming, but other TVs are not.
