Hi guys,i'm planning to change to a bigger screen for my desktop, currently using Lg Flatron e2050 for watching movie and surfing, gaming will be very little ad. So is better to buy 32 inch Tv or just monitor? Pls state reason , and my budget is around RM900.

Do you use the desktop for Microsoft Office / typing words etc?

very seldom to use that. Mostly FB-ing,lowyat and youtube.

well if u r going to use that just for computer usage, I would say better go for normal monitor

because TV got many other components eg tv antenna port, USB port, HDMI port, AV sound ports, speakers which you are not using . more components means more headache especially when it is spoilt

Coz recently my dad starting to use computer so watch movie and thouse drama that i download. Tv will be bigger than monitor if just compare the size and suitable for my budget. What is the good side if buy new monitor?

If you prefer tv for your desktop, you need a higher pixel density tv so the text will not be blurry.

Depending on where you put your desktop, if you are surfing from a couch, then get a tv.

Personally I prefer monitor so I dont need to strain the eyes when reading texts.

What size of monitor are you looking into?

If comparing the IPS panel, view angle and accurate colour, monitor is better than 32inch tv right?

Definitely.

So if my budget is around RM800, which monitor will you recommend?

What's the screen size would you prefer?

Hmm.. The bigger the best~ but must stay in my budget. Saw Samsung monitor, curve monitor will be better than normal?
27 led
vs
23.6 curve

so far I don't see the benefits of curve monitors. they r just marketing gimmicks and look "cool" but they r expensive

true also. there are too many brand to choose, see until eye blur blur...
last time saw ppl said dell 24 ips one nice, but the price also very nice.

Curved monitor have disadvantages, the viewing angles, you need to be directly in front of the monitor or else the picture will not look right.

Here's some monitors around your budget with 27 inch screen.

Acer R271
Acer K272HL

So i think i just focus to 24 to 27 flat screen monitor. Saw some Benq screen that have bezel less one is quite nice also. Btw, the lesser the response time the better right?

Yeah. Lesser response time is effective for games.

if i'm you , i will choose a 32 inch full hd tv over a 2x inch monitor full hd

easily can get any branded 32 inch full hd tv below rm800

if your budget can be increase , get a 24 inch above 4k monitor even better xD~

Both of have pros and cons.

I have been using a 47 inch TV (1080p) as my monitor for 3 years. Personally it is ideal for me in terms of movies, gaming and also to some extent work as well.

However, you need living setup for that as the screen is too big for desktop purposes (even for the case if the TV screen is 32 inch)

47 inch How do you feel when reading on the screen? Is is difficult to see?

wow 47inch tv as monitor. how far u sit?
