LED TV vs. LED Monitor?

joey222

I currently have a MacBook Pro and I'm looking into setting up a docking station for it so I can use it as a desktop. However I don't intend on paying $999 for the Apple thunderbolt display, so thats not an option. My question is I have a 26" LED 1080p tv, and when I hook up my mac with HDMI through thunderbolt its great for movies, but thats about it. I've fooled around with the TV settings and computer settings and can't really get a good quality from using other apps/browsing internet. I'm looking at getting a monitor to hook it up as a desktop however I don't want to spend $200 if there isn't a difference between an LED monitor and an LED TV. The monitor is a view sonic 24" LED and has HDMI connection.

So would the display on the monitor be better than on the TV? Not sure what the real difference is and I don't want to waste money on a monitor if its the same thing. Please help out, some input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Answer
first of all, make sure that the 24 inch led viewsonic really has an hdmi connection. i bought one of those and it ended up not having an hdmi connection. read the reviews and double check.

then check the specifications on both the tv and the monitor. specially check the refresh rate because it will have an effect on picture quality. if you're not worried about quality, then it is really up to you. it really won't be any different, functionality wise except for the fact that, you have one extra feature for the tv, you can plug in a cable and watch cable tv. if the tv is cheaper, i would go for the tv rather than the monitor

I play fifa, cod, & any other type of games. The problem is the tv is like one second late when I press the button. How can I fix this? Is it possible to fix it? I already have game mode on.

Answer
Find the native resolution of your TV. It will be 720 or 1080. Set your game system to that resolution.

Gamer Lag happens when someone sends the wrong resolution to a TV and the TV has to take time up or down converting every frame of video.

Hopefully you were not foolish enough to buy a 1080 panel for your mostly 720 resolution video games.
