Monitor vs TV

Monitor vs TV

Hey everyone,

                           In today's topic, I'm going to discuss a very common FAQ going on everyone's mind which is why can't I connect my set up box directly to a monitor and view my favourite TV programs or connect my CPU to a TV. Well, you can actually do both these things. Now we have HDMI ports on both of these devices to connect for a display then why not we use it like that? It would be fun to use a TV right? We have giant displays to play games and do our work. Then why would we even need a monitor?

Well, gaming nerds reading this might have some idea why! Still I will give you some clarity on this issue.

A Side by Side comparison of monitor and TV

Response Rate

Computer monitors are always designed for a specific application like gaming or visual design or cadd design they have to have the fastest response rate possible. This generally means that the delay should be as minimum as possible as many gaming monitors come with a delay of 10ms or less. The response time between pressing a button and watching the action on screen is termed as a delay.

The Tv's on the other hand as a much larger response time which is ten times larger than a computer.

Refresh Rate

The refresh rate of a monitor is really high from 120hz,144hz and now it stands at 240hz. The refresh rate is nothing but the number of frames a device can handle in a second. The movie you watch is shot in 24 frames/sec, you can now have an idea of how fast a monitor is. This feature is helpful while gaming as a lot of frames and variables need to be loaded at a second so that the game is of utmost clarity and perfect response.

On the other side, TVs advertising frames like 480Hz are generally referring to the ability of the tv to make the image appear smoother by software rendering. This solution is nothing compared to the true high power refresh rates of a monitor.

Flickering

We often see people playing console games using PS4 and Xbox use TV but if you want to take all the advantages you would need a monitor. This is why competitive gamers always choose monitors. Features from Nvidia Gsync and AMD freesync eliminates screen tearing that is flickering on the monitor these features are rarely found on a TV.

Colours

When you look at the colours, the monitors always provide accurate colours and with a lot of depth. Even if your not a gamer a monitor would be your best choice for photo editing or video editing whereas a TV only focuses on colour which is bright, eye-catchy and cinematic. This can always give you a dramatic experience but these images are not what it was supposed to look like. You cannot feel the true colour in a TV. You can also see certain options like PC view on TV to adjust the TV according to computer use still it is not much effective.
At this point, you might think TV sucks why even bother buying one. The TV has an upper hand on some features.

Panel tech

TVs have a wide variety of panel technologies like OLED(organicLED) and Quantum dots(they are emissive particles and when hit by a blue light, each particle emit light of particular wavelength). The manufacturers found out people are willing to pay a lot of money for large size TVs and monitors suffer OLED burning as the images stay at a single place for a long time we can rarely see an OLED monitor. OLED display produces deeper blacks and crisper colour and contrast.
Another important feature of TV is that it can dim or contrast at a particular point you need which most monitors fail to deliver. This is due to most monitors being edge-lit.

So in conclusion, if you want speed and accuracy with your display go for a monitor and if you want brighter contrast, a larger display and a cinematic experience go with a TV.

Fact Flash

Cspeed TV

CSpeed's 262 inch is the world's largest TV and it probably would cost more than your house. 4K has enough pixels to cover 4 1080p displays and give 4 times the detail.
