My experience shows TV and monitor last more or less the same. Then again, LCD TV is relatively new but it has gone for 6 years without issue. Meanwhile my monitor also around the same age. Some older LCD monitor has broken down after 5 years though.

I agree with you on this.

It is possible to work with 720p but it is not as comfortable.

Strangely enough my 18.5 inch Samsung monitor still works just fine after 7 years

Don't know it's QC problem or electrical component problem with electronics nowadays. RMA-ed BenQ monitor twice and Acer monitor button problem.

just share my experience

few months ago i bought a sony 40inch tv and use it together with my dell 23inch as it's not syiok anymore watch movie on 23inch monitor

colour - if you use it for general use it's no difference

response time/input lag - TV is much slower than monitor but some TV have like below 20ms its not great but acceptable for gaming

reliability - same, it's all depends on luck..any brand will also break if unlucky..thru the years i lost count how many monitors and tv broken on me..electronis nowadays is like use and throw..nobody make things that last 10 years anymore like last time

to add:

pixel density - 1080p on 40inch tv text wont look as sharp compare to 23inch 1080p monitor, the bigger tv the worst

if you do alot text TV is not good unless go for those 4K tv, gaming depends what kinda games..but if like me abit of both of everything a tv is a good option or best of all use both together lol

Very good. Since the warranty for that is over, I suggest you get a spare just in case.

I agree with you. Reliability and durability is generally based on the luck of the draw regardless TV or monitors.

I agree with all your points above.

I had the same experience with you. Once I use the huge TV screen for movies, I don't feel like watching movies on anything less than 40inch TV.

I think to add with the use of big TV, easier to have local multiplayer games such as Street Fighter series, Double Dragon Neon and etc.

yea, watching movies the bigger the better lol i also look at alot tv and dig deep found that sony uses VA panel, VA panel so much better doesnt have the glow like ips so watching movie is so much better

i play world of warships on it and its fine, dont feel any lag just very normal but not recommended for fps

My LG 47inch TV is ips.

What do you mean by glow? Too bright?

Separately I am using a 27inch Benq Monitor at work (which I think it is a VA panel).

when on dark background or displaying dark scene ips will glow, its like someone shine a light thru the panel

its quite annoying to me, maybe because its a cheap ips panel cheap monitor so poor quality and the glow is much worse

Just go lazada and type 32inch full HD tv

That is what lazada gives:

Or

Sony 32' Inch KDL32R300C Full HD LED TV

Google same model, and notice it is too a 1366x768 model.


Lots of Malaysian vendors call their TV FHD, but the resolution is actually only 1366x768.

if u serious wanna to buy , i can recommend some merchant to you , guarantee full hd & branded

Was doing research on this last year. Since could not find a single one 32" TV with FHD, already bought 40" instead.

me too, 32 FHD is just nice but cannot find end up buy 40inch

Perhaps maybe helpful for TS.
