27 inch at 1080p - better don't get that. It would look terrible on it and 1440p will be a much suited resolution at this size. icon_idea.gif

Many gadgets but may decide to do some cable management later.

For now, I will just live with it since my entire apartment get cleaned 3 times per week.

Most LED / LCD TV at 32inch are HD (ie. 720p). Usually 40inch above would be 1080p.

I am planning to get a 4K TV. Perhaps next year.

I think you would do well with the 27 inch monitor.

Don't go with TV in that case. I am using another 32 inch TV provided by the owner as my monitor in my bedroom. Won't recommend it.

Get an IPS LED Monitor, if any.

The HP one you were considering in the other thread would be a good choice also.

1440p at 27 inch is perfect biggrin.gif

But hard to get new ones for his price.

Nowadays, there are a few options for 24 inch 1440p and 27 inch 4K.

TV is not suitable for gaming because
1. Colour - TV colour is normally worse than monitors
2. Response time - Normally TV has much higher response time, so for playing games you will feel the "lag"
3. Lower lifetime - from my own experience TV usually break down much quicker than monitors, in fact I never have any monitors that become faulty before while the living room had already gone through 2 or 3 TVs

My experience:

1. Colour - Maybe. To me, I can't really tell that much difference.
2. Response time - To some extent yes, can feel some form of lag but usually negligible.
3. Please elaborate.

I am currently using a TV as a monitor for more than 3 years. Should I expect it break down in the next few months? Many of my friends owned TV which lasted more than 5 years so I am quite confused. Even my dad's plasma TV is still working for more than 7 years.

The older thicker LCD TVs.
This is based on personal experience.
Depends on luck, I suppose.
Any HDD I own never last more than 2 years.

But do you ever see a monitor break down?

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.

All of the 32inch TV sold in Malaysia is only 1280x720. Not enough resolution for computer work.

If you go for 40inch TV with FHD, it is a bit big wor.

1. HDD wise, I have HDDs lasting less than 1 year and HDDs lasting more than 5 years so it is mixed.

2. Monitor breakdown? Yes

I have a 24 inch Samsung LCD monitor which broke down 3 times (RMA thrice) within 2 to 3 years (can't exactly remember the date).

Also, another two monitors (ie. 17inch and 19inch Samsung LCD monitors) which stopped working entirely after 5 years. (can't switch on).
