    TVs as monitor vs gaming monitors


    Hi guys so I'm wondering what your thoughts are on using a large TV as your monitor vs. a gaming monitor. The single thing that makes me ask this is refresh rate. I've currently got a 65" Samsung TV as my monitor that has a 120hz refresh rate... but I'm thinking about building a really powerful new gaming rig here soon, and it would be pretty silly to spend a bunch of money on a high-end video card to limit it with a 120hz display. Does anyone know of a 4k or 8k TV that has 240hz or more for...

  3. TV Monitor

    I have an older (4yrs) ASUS laptop which I plug into an 32" RCA TV (used for my monitor). Works great!. I finally bought a 15" HP laptop and tried the same, but no display on the TV. When I shut the TV off, the laptop "beeps" so it knows it's there, just
    not displaying anything. When I plug in an actual computer monitor, it works (displays on both the monitor and laptop), but not when I hook up the TV. Any ideas?
