What you guys take on using TV screen as monitor?
Have a budget around 1.2k-1.3k want to get a good screen, good and accurate color since I do some graphic work - as long as general color is correct, don't have some weird blue/yellow tint that can't remove, then it will be fine.
Went to friend house saw him using 48" 1080p (pic model below) seems pretty damn sharp, no blurry interface or text at all which quite impress me. Altough generally low PPI but doesn't seems to have pixelated issue at view distance ~5 feet. Although I haven't test it extensively in term of color accuracy, input lag, etc.
Planning to get that 40" if possible but I want to hear anyone if have any idea / advice over this matter. I do play games so yea a big screen would be nice.
At that budget can only get a 27" pc monitor which isn't exactly a big step from 23"... 1080p resolution isn't really an issue, I will be using AMD VSR anyway.
for colour accuracy, pick monitors to TV
generally TV presets are usually high contrast, high saturation and dynamic bla bla which isnt accurate at all
for entertainment, yes. TV reign supreme
for text reading, youll thank the stars you have monitors. trust me, ive tried TV as browsing material.. itll kill your eyes
