TV or monitor for gaming? I have a 55" TV but prefer to use my 27" monitor, I dunno it's just easier to see shit when I'm close and the graphics stand out more.

Depends on how good your TV is and how bad your monitor is

monitors have less latency

TV for consoles, monitor for PC. Simple as.

Bruh, tv are just monitors but with less monitor stuff

Monitor if you're at a desk, TV if you're at a couch obviously. Playing 50cm away from a 55 inch monitor is just retarded.

Well that's a given but you have both options at all times, I use my TV for shows and movies.

same here. got tv and not using it at all.

Yeah, kinda feels like I wasted $1000 on something I won't use much but I guess other people might.

I use both, monitor for 1080/144, TV for 4k/60

I'm thinking about this right now. Have a 1080p 144hz monitor and a 4k 60 fps TV. I play everything on the computer but I do watch tv shows/movies in 4K on the TV. I guess to play anything on the TV I'd be forced to use a controller or come up with some janky solution. Doesn't seem worth it.

55" monitor

My monitor is 4k60 though.

This u?

I like keyboard and mouse, so that makes the furniture arrangement weird with a TV.

This.

I'd use that for comfy console couch gaming. I only watch broadcast TV so I can just connect up a DVR and watch my evening news with that, and if I ever subscribe to satellite the tuner will have HDMI anyway.

Why would you buy an Alienware monitor for couch gaming? I'm sure there are plenty better TVs out there.

There's a situation where you do both. Emulating console games on the PC for the horsepower (doing 4K with texture packs, 60 fps and such), but play it on the TV

Modern TVs are shit and this is why I'm still using a 27" Sony Trinitron.

Boomer?

If you're next-gen console gaming beyond 60hz then you need to wait a while for HDMI 2.1 to become mainstream in monitors even though it's already in many current model TVs. You could get an expensive 4k120hz monitor and do 4k120hz with PC Displayport output but you can't do shit via HDMI 2.0

TVs are probably cheaper for mid-high end features like HDR and FALD because they're produced in larger quantities and the botnet subsidizes the hardware price.

26yo boomer. It's the TV my parents bought in 2005 to put in the upstairs living room, I took it with me when I moved out.

What makes it so good?

The newest console I own is the Wii. I also have a PS2 and Sega Genesis. I play new games on PC so I never bothered with TVs.

Would a DP to HDMI work?

No because the HDMI decoder is still limited to 4K60.

May as well ask here. I'm planning to buy a new monitor, it's 27" too big for gaming? I have shitty eyesight, so I always put my monitors as close as possible.

That makes sense, I don't imagine 4K games would look any good on that TV.

No, it's pretty small honestly.

My PC monitor is 4K and my 3080 runs games fine as fuck.

Not sure what that has to do with what I said but aight.

Most flagship TV models from name brands have g-sync and free sync nowadays, user. This isn’t the 1800s.

It all depends on pixel density and distance

Up close on a desk a 27" is probably too big for 1080p, about right for 1440p and too small for 2160p (fractional scaling is shit, integer scaling takes you back to 1080p).
