RCChopper Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Is there anybody that has successfully been using a newer HDTV for a monitor? Some of these TV's are getting pretty cheap and have what seems to be adequate specs to use one for a monitor. Obviously the bigger screen size would be nice, say for example a 32". Seeing some with 1920 x 1080 and 60 Mhz refresh rates I can't help but wonder how one might work for a monitor. I have read many forums about this but it seems the opinions vary widely and many of these posts are from a few years back which even a few years makes a huge difference from the TV's of today. Many people say text is not as good, but I'm not looking at doing documents or spreadsheets. I want to use a 32 inch TV for flightsim. I do understand a lot of this is also dependent on the pc running it all but I'm doing an upgrade on the pc as well. Any comments? Thanks guys !!

abrussell Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I use a 32" Phiips HDTV @ 1650 x 1080, with 2x27" monitors at same resolution. Works great for me.

Double J Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Tried a 40 inch 1080, took it back to the store. Too pixilated compared to a PC monitor. Still waiting for a decent priced 35 inch monitor, perhaps 4k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
