Using Commercial Digital Signage As monitor

[Icon2341]

Can i use a Digital Commercial Signage as a monitor? i am getting one for cheap due to a deal and i wanted to know if there would be any differences, i sit little over a foot away from the screen. I want to know if there are any problems with using a digital signage display over a monitor its 600 dollars usually but i am getting it for 50 and i am fine with purchasing a VESA mount etc.

Here is the monitor: http://www.lg.com/us/business/commercial-display/displays-tvs/digital-signage/lg-32SE3KD

Here is the mount: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B21TLQU/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3W3STWCK1O3NR

Here is the mount adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07771JFVP/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2GU2MDOI4BV98

any info would be great! thanks!

Using digital signage displays as monitors is not bad for many things. They are probably not great as gaming monitors because they aren't intended for a lot of fast motion graphics. They may not have audio support and they don't have TV tuners. I have purchased them at work for conference room displays for many years.

It's kind of "terrible" for a PC monitor because it's a big screen but not a big resolution.

You'll be sitting really close, and the pixels are gonna look pretty big, because the screen is like 8" bigger than a normal 1080p monitor.

If you just want to look at solid pictures from somewhat far away it's not bad.

A 32 inch monitor will probably cause eye strain at 1 foot. You will probably want to back off.
