How many of you use gaming TVs instead of a monitor?

    I use a TV but it sucks balls. Some cheap hisense Walmart gig. Not even a real 1080P, it’s like 1050 at 49″ or something like that. POS for sure. Takes like 45 seconds for it to boot up. I hope it dies soon…

    I also have Samsung qn95b…its great.

    Got one next to my pc. Best of both worlds imo. Even 43” feels a little too big for a desk.

  4. No. But I guess it depends on your setup. Monitors are much higher quality than TVs of the same size, with typically a better dot pitch, resolution, refresh rate and colour clarity. TVs also don’t need to reproduce static text with high clarity for a viewer a few inches from the screen. Also input lag is a problem for most TVs.

    I have 50’ Samsung next to my pc I only use for racing games and fifa so I can sit back and use controller

    I use a 23 inch TV, not great specs but it works fine for me

    NICE!!
    Gaming on anything under 40″ is just uncivilized imho. LOL

    Using my PC connected to a 50-inch “quantum dot” TV. Looks great but my only regret is that it’s just 60Hz. Games do look nice in 4K at 60Hz though.

    42C2 was life changing. I’ve tried ultrawides and all sorts of resolution/form factor combos and 42″ 4k 120hz OLED is exactly what I was looking for that didn’t even exist until recently. I don’t understand why PC monitors are so far behind in this aspect. 4k HDR content has been standard for years now and 99% of all monitors are either too small, too wide, or 60hz if it’s 4k.

    Ethernet cable + lg companion app and PC can send the power on/off signal so by all accounts it’s a monitor.

    I do currently, it’s been great. I bought a really nice LG when I got a series X. I don’t have a place for the monitor I bought, so I’m glad the TV worked out well for my first build

  11. I didn’t even know they made gaming TVs, what brand?

  12. Damn reading these replies I’m really surprised how many people are unaware people game on tvs like the c2 or c3. I think I spent too much time in /OLEDgaming

    Got a c2 42″, felt right at home straight away on my desk.

    Also got 42″ 1080p Toshiba TV for couch gaming with the PS5 and streaming sports and Netflix, it’s great as well.

    I have a 27″ Benq 4k monitor for a few years prior to that, i don’t miss it tbh.

    This is a killer setup. Love the dark/study them and did you paint that window black?

    If yes, you’re an absolute savage.

    Occasionally when I fire up a single player game I turn on the LG C2.

    No I need the high fps and fast response time

    did you blackout your windows? also what shelf is that on the right?

  18. sirfannypack

    I have a hard time being that close to something that big.

  19. edgy_Juno

    Not my type of thing, plus I don’t have the money or space for one either. If I could, I would probably try it.

  20. I use a 32inch monitor, just stopped by to say it looks amazing, and that wood desktop And black / darker room looks grate!

    What is with the drips on your window behind the pc?

  22. slayez06

    typing from a 83″ c2 with 5.4.2 atmos right now

    I just got the alienware aw3423dwf. Perfection.

    What is a “gaming TV”? How is that different than a regular TV?

  25. Endawmyke

    The desktop digital clock is highly underrated!

    Do you worry about the windows activation watermark burning in tho?

  26. Toastedtoastyyy

    I don’t but I used to have the same background on my old pc

  27. Any time I have played on TVs, the input delay makes it so bad

  28. I use monitors. If I played many games that are better on controller, I probably would, but I don’t. Even something like GTA is better with mouse and keyboard imo. Fifa would be cool but I don’t mind playing on my 27” monitor either. But for games like DayZ and Hitman, I find m&k to be way easier and more forgiving.

  29. MerryMarauder

    Lol, what a small world that background was mone as well for years, dope.

  30. lasergun23

    I use one of those graphic tablets made to draw

  31. I have the same background! We’re background bro’s now.

    What the fuck is a gaming TV?

    Us it a TV with high refresh rate?. Or is it just more expensive and with RGB?

    Who asked for this?
