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

Gaming settings for my samsung 26-inch HD led tv?

Madara Uch

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.

What are the best picture settings for a Sansui LED TV?

Kyle

I got it free from a nice old lady and I don't need it perfect, it is a Sansui 22" SLED2280.

Answer
The best settings for any TV are those that cause its gray scale
to be as close to perfect as possible.

No two TVs, even of the same model,
are likely to look the same with the same numerical settings.

You could pay an ISF-certified technician $300 or more to calibrate the set.

A less costly, but less accurate, method is to use a setup disc
(DVD or Blu-Ray; $20 to $50) to optimize the image quality yourself.

If you use a setup disc, follow the instructions to the letter.

Hi,

I am able to detect the tv display on my laptop but my tv does not appear to recognize the laptop.
It does not find the laptop device. I have a Samsung LED TV UN6000 Model. Is there something I have to adjust on my TV Settings?

Answer
If you have connected your HDTV through HDMI,DVI-D or VGA port, make sure you set the resolution that is compatible to your HDTV,Then on your TV menu, select TV/AV mode or Aux mode.
On your laptop press and hold Function "Fn" key and one of F3,F4,F5 or F6 (depends on laptop model) to switch to your HDTV.

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

paul r

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.
