Damn now I have to boycott an entire video connector.
TVs are not very good displays for computers. You have to go through a bunch of settings to turn off as much image processing as possible. Even then, the latency will still be higher than a gaming monitor. You have to disable overscan, which always seems to be on by default even though it’s only useful for CRTs and makes absolutely no sense for a digital display with digital signals. Also, I’ve never had a single TV that will actually go into standby when commanded. It will just stay on with a no signal message when the computer turns off the output.
Mine doesn’t have any of those problems. The only thing I had to do was ensure the input selection was set to PC.
But then I’m using it 90% to stream stuff that is web only and some occasional gaming with the bonus of being able to fill out forms, Google and do light note taking without getting a different device. My alternatives would be needing a laptop or tablet along with some streaming device.
