Question Tv as Temporary Monitor

[MareksNo]

I am planning on building a PC, but it will take me time until I can get a monitor. How can I minimize the input lag if using a TV as a display?

Switch it to "Game" mode.
Plug it in via the VGA input.

I don't have a VGA port on it.

And you may not have a "Game" mode either. But when you don't even tell us the make/model of the TV, you don't get component-specific advice.

Regardless, there's not much else that can be done besides the two things I listed.

Oh sorry, let me give you the model:
LG 49UH6107

It has a game mode though, so thanks for that, would a shorter HDMI Cable help?

No, it wouldn't

Not recommended. Unless you make a distance from it. It'll hurt your eyes. I've tried that and trust me, not very pleasant experience.

49" TV should be fine from the couch!
Problem with being close to large display is that your eyes dart to see all the content. https://www.inchcalculator.com/tv-size-viewing-distance-calculator
If your going to view 4K then make sure your have an Hdmi 2.0 cable.
What input lag are you concerned with?

Im concerned with just taking forever to see a mouse movement be displayed in general, as I will need about a month until I can afford a monitor probably. Ty for your advice.
