LCD/LED tv vs monitor
is there any real difference in a LED/LCD monitor and a tv unit of the same size
other then the tv having a built in tuner ? I am looking for a 24-28'' size monitor but tv's are cheaper in that size range I want a 1920/1080 not the way over priced 2500 or the lower end 720 units can I expect the same performance from a tv as a monitor now with lcd/led units what numbers to look for contrast responce or others ?? cpu is an older 4 core 6600 intel gpu is a 512m passive [no fan] cheapie |

lcd tv's will max out at 1920x1080.
lcd monitors can go well beyond that resolution...if u need to. response time is another factor. although tv's will most likely have better color rendition than your cheapie lcd monitor. look up comparison of TN vs IPS lcd panels. |

One big difference is the TVs comes with a remote, the monitor does not.
The TV will have a tuner of some sort and is usually more compatible with watch TV. I bought a monitor to use as a TV in my home office and had a difficult time setting it up. The picture was not great. I ordered the same make and size of unit as a TV and it hooked up easy and looked great. The monitor I hooked up to my computer and it is great. I love my 27 inch computer monitor!
