We have an LG 32" LED tv with a resolution of 1920x1080
and im planning on using it as my PC monitor since my monitor got busted up.
are there any cons with using a TV as a PC monitor?
thanks 5 stars for the most detailed answer.
Answer
Generally, a TV manufacturer is 60Hz in the US and gamers prefer a higher refresh rate setting when possible. The lag time from a control input to screen reaction including the g-t-g and othe input lag is a little higher. That will vary by TV. A monitor is watching that more in its design. Also, the larger screen affects your comfortable viewing distance and angle. A TV would normally be further away in mounting, [adding: and set higher up], but that you may have control of. It is perfectly acceptable since the basic design is the same. They are both LCD panels.
It comes down to your own use and the specific TV and its setup versus your seating. If you are happy with it, it can be your permanent setup. The very early TVs design involved radiation frequencies as tube TVs and sitting close could cause damage. LCD panels are a simple filtered (color filters) light and you cannot damage your eyes by distance so it is just about a comfortable view. Screen resolution and its clarity makes a difference, and in 1080p in a 32" you might want to be only about 30 to 40 inches away from it, and mounting and setup is what it is all about.

How do LED monitors/tvs work?

I understand that there millions of little pixels in a high resolution tv/monitor but what causes them to light up/change colors? How do we control the colors and such with digital code?
Answer
LED televisions are simply LCD televisions that use LEDs for backlighting instead of the usual cold cathode fluorescents.
LCD TVs produce a black and colored image by selectively filtering a white light. The light is provided by a series of light emitting diodes (LEDs) at the back of the screen. Millions of individual LCD shutters, arranged in a grid, open and close to allow a metered amount of the white light through. Each shutter is paired with a colored filter to remove all but the red, green or blue (RGB) portion of the light from the original white source. Each shutterâfilter pair forms a single sub-pixel. The sub-pixels are so small that when the display is viewed from even a short distance, the individual colors blend together to produce a single spot of color, a pixel. The shade of color is controlled by changing the relative intensity of the light passing through the sub-pixels.
