Connector

First you need to pay attention to the TV’s connection ports. Many new TV models today are equipped with HDMI ports, while older models only have DVI or VGA ports to connect to computers.

If your computer’s graphics card has an HDMI output, simply use an HDMI cable to connect between your computer and TV. In the case of a VGA port, you should consider connecting the TV to the computer, because the image quality provided from VGA is much lower than connecting using an HDMI or DVI port.

Resolution is the number of pixels packed into 1 square inch of the screen.The resolutions on TVs and computer monitors are different, so the picture quality will not be the same. For example, a 15.6-inch screen has the same number of pixels as a 32-inch TV, but a computer screen has a much higher pixel density (141.21 ppi) than a TV (68.84 ppi).

Accordingly, the larger the size of the TV, the less pixel density it will have. So images, letters, numbers… displayed on TV will look blurry and harder to read if you sit and watch them at a normal distance.

Screen size

Screen size is also something we need to pay attention to. For example, with the money to buy a cheap TV, its quality is only 720p, while the computer monitor you buy at the above price can have a resolution of up to Full HD 1080p. .

So if you choose to buy a screen under 27 inches to use with a computer, the TV will be more expensive and have a lower resolution. If your choice is to invest in a masterpiece of a large-sized, high-resolution TV screen, then surely the money spent will be enough to buy a high-end, modern computer screen.

Besides, another problem for you when connecting your computer to a TV is frequent slow phenomena, high latency, and low cursor speed. Therefore, consider carefully if you want to equip a TV with your computer system!

Should we use TV instead of computer screen?

To replace the TV with the computer, you need to make sure there is resolution compatibility. However, even though we have solved the problem of Full HD resolution of TV, there are still many problems that arise when using TV instead of a computer screen.

Televisions are inherently designed to suit the needs of watching from afar while computers are viewed close up, so using the TV screen for a long time to work will cause eye fatigue and have a negative impact on health. eye. In particular, when you use a computer to work and play games at close range, replacing a TV screen for a computer is completely inappropriate and will seriously affect the window to your soul. The data processing level of this type of screen is much slower, so during gaming there will be problems such as jerking, lag…

In addition, cost is also a headache when the electricity consumption of a TV screen is much higher than that of a computer screen.

The final advice is to consider your usage needs if you want to use a TV instead of a computer. If the purpose is to watch movies at a distance or listen to music, then it’s not a problem, but if you want to play games and work and have to keep your eyes glued to the screen, it’s not recommended.
