Literally nobody says TV. Stop it.

2560x1440 ips for pc and 1920x1080 LG 3DTV for PS4 and Xbone
Monitor. A $400 27" 1080p monitor is going to have great specs while a $400 TV is going to be shit.
Monitor for games
Television for movies
Most televisions have awful input lag and can be quite noticeable in rhythm games or first person shooters.
>>320666738
>Mac
>TV's speakers are on the side
>Not using an actual surround sound system
Yes why is this allowed?
both
>>320666738
I go for monitors cause i've had bad experiences with HDTVs and input lags
>>320668602
any more of that cat?
>>320666738
considering the fact that i can get a 4k monitor cheaper than a 1080p 'hd' tv, the fucking monitor. any tv claiming 1080p and cheaper than a thousand dollars is lying. its upscaled shit with the corners cut off
>>320666738
Monitor
Easier to find with minimal input lag and IPS really does make a nice difference.
Avoid 4k though. Friend got one and the reality of the specs is far from what is listed. Fucking laggy shit banks on most people not being able to notice why they get their asshanded to them.
>>320669296
>any tv claiming 1080p and cheaper than a thousand dollars is lying. its upscaled shit with the corners cut off
what the fuck are you talking about
>>320668602
I keep a smaller TV on my desk.

>>320669843
Also I moved cat bed to optimal petting position, so that I can pet cat and play vidya at same time.
>>320669660
plug your tv into your computer right now. set it to 1080p. enjoy not being able to view a sixth of the screen at any time unless you lower the resolution to 1366x768. or better yet, turn on your television and go to ANY channel and just look at the corners of the screen. now download that same episode on your computer and view it on there through your monitor, you will notice theyve cut off part of the video for some fucking reason. tv market is the most corrupt one i can even think about
>>320670046
Cats, I should say.
>>320669973
Got it on sale for $200.
Jell?
What am I saying, of course you are. You're the type that buys 500w Bronze PSUs.
>>320670046
>>320669843
Any reason you have your monitors so far apart?
I have mine right next to each other, so i can see my friends typing while im playing a full screen game
>>320670120
This is the stupidest shit I've ever read, and I've read an entire thread on /a/ once.
>>320666738
Television. Was cheaper and can use it to play with my old consoles
>>320670314
I had them together long ago but I really didn't use them like that. So when I got this desk I was like fuck it, yo. It's not far enough apart that it actually requires effort to look at it anyways.
>>320670120
I'm the guy who posted the webm above. That TV is connected to my PC via HDMI. It's a Sony w800b at 1080p. Nothing is cut off at all. It was way less than $1000.
>>320670472
ya, you just turn your a head a little and you see it
not like you need to constantly see that 2nd monitor
>>320670582
Well I'm a computer programmer, so there are times where I kinda do, but they're really rare, anyways. Kinda a moot point to even bring up, but there you go.
>>320666738
This modern era of giant super HD smart TVs means you'd have to be a filthy disgusting casual to play on something like a 27 inch monitor.
I played Super Mario Bros and Legend of Zelda on a 52 inch CRT as a child so I'm a bit biased though. About time for you to ketchup, Mustards.
>vidya on a tiny screen
>ever
>>320670120
Nvidia Graphics cards screw up the resolution by 6 pixels or so, but the ATi cards somehow make 1080p and 720p work.
That was 3 years ago, so IDK about now.
There are plenty of 1080p monitors that do there job and cheaply too.
>>320668602
Pretty sure I asked this before but I just didn't check back on the thread. Do you just run an extremely long HDMI cable over to your TV?
>>320670867
It's just a 30' HDMI cable ran inside the wall. Was something like $50 and pretty easy to do in my case.
I have both.
TV is mostly for non-competitive games like RPGs, Action-Adventure, etc.
Also use it for my chinese cartoons and movies from bed. Be all comfy like.
>>320670824
Well, it's fine playing vidya on a small screen if you're sitting right up on it anyways. Bigger TVs only matter if you're sitting back away from it.
>>320670120
It sounds like you fucked somnething up on your end.
>>320666738
unless you're a 'pro' gamer then monitor, but everyone else should just use a television.
>>320666738
Monitor > TV
This isn't even a question.
>>320666738
Television. I hook up my computer to my television whenever I want to game.
>>320670120
You must be a fucking moron.
>>320670120
Sounds like an overscan issue
When I first got my WiiU, it didnt fill the whole screen of my TV. I had to change the scan or something.
It's still a 1080p TV
>>320671189
I do all my high quality shitposting from the comfort of my couch. Got one of those Magic the Gathering playmats wrapped around a copy of The Halo Compendium and I use that as a mouse pad.
The days of being slaved to an office chair and a desk, even an ultra luxurious $3000 leather and oak set with tons of options, are over. Uncompromised comfort is now a requirement for the true gaming masterrace.
>>320671794
Dude, notice here >>320670046 , I have a comfy as fuck big lounging chair. Still have the desk, but that's fine with me.
>>320672053
I think your cat has a desk.
Anyway, a desk has many other important useful functions and features so I wouldn't be slighting that.
>>320672259
My cat has a laptop. And yeah I like my desk. Shit's nice.
>>320666738
Both of them
monitor for me, even fast action single player games.
been closet its make more inmersive and sharper experience.
i play bayonetta 2 in a TV and i cant see waht the fuck its going on on the screen.
Depends on whatever I feel like.
>>320672359
L-lewd
>>320672684
I pretty much whore my cat out like that.
>>320672759
why not both?
>>320670231
27" monitors aren't $200 you fucking spanner
>>320672864
It doesn't get comfier than this, bro.
>>320666738
Using my tv as a computer monitor currently because my old monitor crapped out
>>320673006
>kettle right at battlestation
>teaI think, judging by the string
my kind of guy
>>320673006
>that wall handprint
>>320673183
Some are
>>320671085
Thanks for the reply m8. I'm not /diy/ savvy, did you literally just cut a small hole in the wall and shimmy the wire over? Did you fill the hole in the wall with spackle or anything afterwards?
>>320673183
My bro's was $250 for IPS 1440p up to 120 hz, so I dont find his post that unbelievable
>>320673183
Oh you poor little illiterate. Reading is so hard for you, isn't it?
>>320673830
What ripoff jew bastard sells a 1080p 27" for 400 fucking dollars? Even with it also being 144Hz that's still <400$
>>320673006
>Hiei figure
edgelord detected
also is that a fucking hand print on the wall?
>>320674043
I don't know. I paid $200 for it.
What's the next big release /v/ is looking for? For me Dark souls 3 is 4 months away and Bloodborne won't last me for 4 months. So I was thinking about FF type 0, is it a good game?
>>320674260
But if you payed 200$ and it was only 1080p, 27" then you got ripped off ~70 dollars
>>320674446
Well I didn't give them any Dollar Signs, I gave them money.
I guess I could have gotten a very low-end model for cheaper, sure.
But this was 6 or 7 months ago now. Prices may have come down.
>>320674615
You're just a fucking ruse cruiser, and I've been rused.
g'night, fucker.
I'm on TV now, but I want to switch over to monitor for less input lag. The problem is I'd be going from 32' to 27' and I don't know how well that'd go
>>320674858
Please don't go. I want to exchange emails so that the next time I make a purchase, I can ask for your permission before doing so.
>>320672683
is this seriously shaming people for not watching television?
>>320670231
LOL I bought a 32" Vizio for $199.
Bigger TV, one dollar less.
>>320675554
No, it's the fucking Onion and if you take it seriously you're dumb.
TV because I'm not a mustardracer and its the only thing I own since my parents got it for me before I dropped out of college
>>320675736
i don't see how i'm dumb, it doesn't say the onion anywhere on there
>>320675707
Another illiterate!
Nice bargain basement brand, bro. I bet you can really enjoy the all of 500:1 contrast ratio.
>>320675826
It's a Kelly comic. It's from the Onion.
Though I should be thanking you. It's rare to see somebody getting trolled by fucking Kelly these days.
>>320675945
there's a first time for everything my friend. i've seen those comics before, but every other time they seemed at least somewhat believable
>>320666738
Aren't TVs 16:9, and monitors 16:10? Doesn't that right there make TVs inferior?
>>320675847
>500:1 contrast ratio
Kek, the contrast is fine. What a pitiful argument. And since When is Vizio bargain basement?
>>320676227
Since always, Anon. It's always been a bargain brand.
>Pitiful argument
See? This is why you're an illiterate.
>>320666738
pics a little older but looks almost the same still.
Got an actual sound system now at least.
I like the setup but its rather improvised and less planned + kind of ugly since the cables are spread out on the rug
Once I move out I'd prefer getting a set-up like this >>320668602
It makes a big difference if you actually have to sit down somewhere else to watch a movie or play a game with a controller, you get less distracted by your browsing-habits and more immersed and relaxed.
It depends on the system and game. Playing on PC? Obviously I'm going to use my monitor. Playing on a PS2 or earlier system? My TV.
>>320666738
Monitor
>>320666738
ur mom
>>320673006
howd you even get that handprint there
Is it possible to view consoles on your laptop screen via hdmi?
>>320676397
>illiterate
I don't believe you even know what that term means, which ironically makes you an illiterate.
>>320670336
>once
>>320680202
Aww. Is this your first time on 4chan? Cannot follow reply chains yet? It's okay. Everyone here was new at some point. :)
>>320671332
Why doesn't your monitor double as a TV? Don't you have a TV tuner in your monitor?
Monitors are objectively better for gaming. Higher contrast, faster response times, higher refresh rates, higher resolutions, lower prices, and I'm pretty sure there are no TVs with DVI or DisplayPort connectivity, so if you want to get more than 60hz refresh rate or higher than 1080p at 60hz, you're SOL.
>>320681574
Pretty much this. The difference in quality between a $200-400 TV and a $200-400 monitor is staggering. A monitor at the same price range will win hands down every time.
>this thread again
Hooked my 40'' tv and controller up to my pc so I can play and watch shit from my comfy bed
Only really play at the desk for fps' or when i'm multitasking
>>320670231
I paid $150 for a 1080p 27" IPS, you Jewish lap dog
I'm trying to work out how to put a TV into the room. It's pretty small, and my desk takes up most of the room.
The futon isn't comfy enough to lie down on and play games, unfortunately. Metal armrests was a poor choice.
