Using 32" tv for pc gaming monitor 1080p vs 720p

[pcnoob1911]

I have just built my first computer and i hooked up my 720p 32" tv to it. (native resolution=1366x768) I sit a little over 2 feet away from it. I was going to get a 24 inch monitor, but i actually quite like having this big of a screen, so will i see any difference playing games and such if I did buy a 32" with native resolution at 1080p? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889102667 Or would i just be better off with the 24" monitor? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824014350

Answers are very appreciated

Well, I've found a cheaper alternative. I think this one's a winner at $200 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824014300 That or the samsung, I just don't like the idea of buying an offbrand korean monitor. 1080p is good enough for me

BenQ uses TN panels...You should really aim for an IPS if you can.

this particular monitor uses va according to linustechtips

I wouldn't personally recommend BenQ, but knock yourself out.

Agreed, VA isn't much better than TN. BenQ are a dated company. IPS is the future of screen tech. But if you don't really care about right, vivid images or better than 1080p screens then it really doesn't matter what you get I guess. I'm a stickler for the best stuff.

If you're gonna spend $210 on a 25", might as well spend $60 less and get a 24" IPS with 2ms RT. lol

You guys were all really helpful, and i've learned a lot about monitors from this thread, thanks!

The human eye can't really tell the difference when it comes to response time. The response time is also measured differently pending the manufacturer.
Response time is usually just a spec manufacturers add in to attract customers but you shouldn't really pay much attention to it.
You should never really pay attention to response time, but look at refresh rates.

I completely disagree, to a point. I noticed a MASSIVE difference when I went from 23ms TV to a 2ms monitor. 8ms isn't bad, but it's still not ideal for gaming. Now I do agree that people probably won't notice a small difference, say 8ms to 5ms, but its possible to feel a difference from 8ms to 2ms. Depending on eye sensitivity maybe. When I played on a TV it was horrendous compared to a monitor. I could literally see a gap between when I entered a command, and it got executed.

I don't know about massive but delay is noticeable if your seeking immediate response to physical movements. Less then 20 ms and your dealing with less then a 50th of a second. I'm mostly aware of this delay from using a PC to process audio from a guitar and can notice the timing being slightly off when playing quickly at anything over 2 ms on the audio driver settings in what I hear compared to when I would fret a note and pluck. So I can imagine that if your playing something where your performing many actions per second it might be able to throw you off but the only thing you might really notice is that it might feel like your control in game is more "solid" when using the mouse when turning and such at lower response times. I don't think it would be massive unless you started to get over 20ms delay for a monitor response for gaming and things like AA and other processing will also add ms to your input to displayed response feel too not to mention your input devices precision and connection to a server for online games.

As for the OP some games with a UI overlaying a 3d environment that has a lot of details and chat the resolution will make a massive difference, like World of Warcraft for example. First person shooters with no UI or little will look more fuzzed in games like BF4 it might even be more difficult to distinguish enemy from environment but still playable. You should try to get a monitor that can do 1080p at least these days. Pixel size vs resolution and physical dimensions will all matter and sitting that close to the screen your better off with a physically smaller screen with higher native resolution over the larger with lower to keep things clear especially text.
