Please help me weigh the pros and cons of using an LED TV as a computer monitor?

best led tv as monitor 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

What's the difference between LED backlight LCD monitor and LCD monitors?

Zhir Makwa

are LED backlight monitors same as LED TV's and stuff,(is there a difference between LED backlight and LED)?
are LED backlight LCD monitors better than normal LCD's? which one shows a better picture?
Thanks!

Answer
An LED monitor (just like a LED TV) is a LCD that uses Light Emitting Diodes instead of fluorescent light bulbs for back lighting. LED uses less power and will provide a sharper, brighter, crisper picture longer than fluorescent will because a fluorescent bulb will dim over time (and occasionally start to develop an annoying flicker prior to failure) In addition LED's do not contain Mercury like a fluorescent bulb does so along with using less power, they are considered "greener" or more environmentally friendly.
