Would you guys use a LED TV as a monitor? Don't want to buy a monitor and want to use that one instead until it dies. But I am not sure how long it will last tho

@Floydian I do watch television from time to time. But not on this TV. We have one in the living room. If I feel like watching, I just switch rooms. But on this one, I can do whatever I want.

It looks like this rn

The thing on top of the television where the cable is splitted is a modified smd led light stripe js

@Floydian XD that would be awesome

@Floydian holy moly...
Oh no... it's not wall mounted. I could mount it on a wall. I have the equipment. But my room is way too small for that.
It'd be better to just let it stand there + it hides some cables hahahhaha

I got a random thought. I could actually drill down the table and put the cables through that hole. Maybe I should do that

@Floydian lmfao such a badass xD

@Floydian SERVICE providers hahahahahhahahahah

Might be a bit hard to make text out properly though.

@WilliamDyer not on mine. I just tested it. It's on the same speed as my laptop's monitor.

@Brolls true. It's not sharp enough and is kind of too big haha

Fuck. Forgot that its quality gets shrinked on dR

@-ANGRY-CLIENT- ouch. Yeah, that’s the problem I had.

Honestly though, the monitor is a great way to go, and you can get decent ones for a few hundred.

Latency would bother me.

@Bitwise what about stuck and even dead pixels?

TVs often have image processing which you cannot fully turn off, like artifical sharpening or other “improvement”. When using a TV as a monitor that really shows
