    Here is a guide on how to get the best picture quality on a 4K TV if you plan to use it as a PC monitor ua-cam.com/video/pW0YET3M0XI/v-deo.html

    Thank you for this video man I was wondering if I had to buy a monitor for my new PC build but I happened to have an extra TV laying around, and it just so happened it was the EXACT TV that you used for this video. I was worried there would be input lag but this video saved me from spending a couple hundred dollars on a monitor. Thanks!

      @@yoli4783 hey i got the fix myself. If you have a laptop the universal way is by the hard way. Remove the monitor and remove the cable connecting the monitor from the motherboard. It will automatically detect the secondary monitor connected through vga cable as the main from now. Just be careful not to damage anything.

    I used to use monitors. Now I exclusively use a TV. I have a laptop hooked up to a 42 inch in the living room and my gaming desktop on my my 32 inch in my bedroom. I've played on expensive monitors and I wasn't impressed. I don't see a difference. I stick to 1080p. Don't need anything more than that. There are some settings on the computer itself that make the setup look as natural as it would on any monitor. If you have blurry or discolored text, then you need to go into your graphics card settings and make adjustments to pixel format. Problem solved! Reality is, you don't need a monitor and haven't for at least 8 years. Save your money and use your TV and game in your recliner. If you can figure out the mouse problem, you'll never want to return to your desk. I have a table at armchair level next to my recliner. That's where I put the mouse. Not corded, but I don't care.

    • @TechGuyCharlie
      @TechGuyCharlie  5 років тому +1

      EXACTLY what I have been saying for years, but there are some who will constantly complain how you get input lag on TV's but I haven't noticed ANY input lag. You don't need a monitor indeed, nowadays, big screen TV's are quite inexpensive and the experience of playing games and watching movies on a big screen is something else.

Under the Screen settings, the choices for Wide Mode are Full, 16:9, and Zoom. I'm using 16:9; Full does not fix the cropping problem. (Neither does Zoom, which crops even more of the display.) Autowide is set to Off, but there are no settings for Display Area or Auto Display Area. Any other advice?

      I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work! Of course, your computers graphics card or integrated graphics should have the ability to output in 4K.
