best led tv prices image

B.L.T.

Hi! I am about to purchase a pc and i was wondering if using a high def LED TV would be a good alternative as opposed to using a traditional high def LED monitor. In my mind, using a TV for a pc monitor would be a better choice but the more i think about it, something in the back of my mind tells me hat its a case of something being too good to be true. Btw, both the TV and the monitor's brand is the same and the price is almost the same to the point that the difference price wise is negligable for me. Thanks!

Answer
Pros:
-simple to use
-can operate the screen with a remote
-can switch to tv whenever you like
-can use hdmi and most tvs have vga

Negatives:
-May be a bit warmer than actual pc screens
-slight eye strain

These are from experience. You should be fine using a tv as pc monitor

are there any settings that you can adjust on an LED tv to make the motion blur less noticeable?

i have a new Toshiba 50" LED tv with a 60Hz refresh rate. i know that the refresh rate controls the how smoothly fast moving images appear on a tv. But are there are settings that i could adjust for example the sharpness, noise reduction, edge enhancement that would make the motion blur less noticeable.

Answer
NO. This is a common issue with all LCD or LED tv that has a refresh rate of 60HZ. To reduce the blur motion you need the faster refresh rate of at less 120HZ. You can not change the refresh rate of the tv after you purchase one. Also, some bargain price tv will also have lag between video and audio, this is due to the slower response time fo the tv. Hope this will help you out.
