What is best for gaming?
I think a monitor is more likely to be superior in terms of color and response. I say that using a TV myself.
>console gaming: TV
>PC gaming: monitor

Literally both perform the same functions.
Just depends on the specs of the two devices.

Monitor vs TV
didn't really care
But i use A TV now at 75hz 1080p
and its got speakers and in built sound card.
Can't find any 1080p monitors in monitors worth a damn in my country , 720p shills are in number here I also have a 720p monitor in sale

If both are LCD - Monitors, generally.
A plasma or OLED tv will blow you away with its contrast, though.

Monitors
>usually less input lag
>usually better display quality
>usually true 4:4:4 panel
Can TVs even 144hz?

No. They can interpolate with their ExtraSmoothBullshit tech.
Monitor even console gaming
Small panel/high ppl its great for games with little details.
Monitors, because most TVs have long response times, resulting in input lag.

tv for comfy games that dont require complete precision
monitor for shit like rooty tooty point n shooties
Monitor for PC gaming definitely, less latency, better colors
TV for console, latency is less of a worry for console players plus tv usually comes with built in sound which might be a bonus
is there even a difference between TVs an monitors those days?

Yes. There's typically a tradeoff between the performance of the components and the variety of them (e.g., TVs have lots of inputs, digital tuners, "smart" features, etc.).
>>54420338
TVs are designed to display "gimped" YCbCr 4:2:2 picture and they do a ton of image processing, which usually cause input lag.
Monitors get RGB 4:4:4 signal and are supposed to be as "raw" as possible.

Also films are in 16-235 range but monitors are 0-255. That's why when you play movies on your PC without recalibrating they may look washed out, and if you connect the PC to a TV without proper configuration you'll lose detail in dark scenes (black crush).

One thing I haven't been able to sort out on PC>TV is bright greens and reds. As text they're totally illegible and white text inside red or green panels gets bled onto. I don't know what to adjust to fix that without ruining the look of everything else.

It's probably caused by chroma subsampling. Some (usually more expensive) TVs can do a true 4:4:4 when set to "PC mode" and with DVI->HDMI cable (not HDMI->HDMI), but with most you're SoL.

>not hooking up consoles to a monitor

>not HDMI->HDMI
Well then I'm double boned, because it's cheap and connected as above.
I toyed around for a few minutes and could resolve the issue with color and sharpness tweaks, but then going back to regular text was a nightmare. Oh well. At least everything except those two particular cases looks nice.
>>54419895
Monitor always.
My faggot roommate uses a TV and he works at boston market so what does that tell you
>>54419895
Depends on the game and device. There's never a "best" of anything in life and hopefully that will never change.
