I've been using 43" QLED TV for work/gaming nearly eight months now and I'm not going back to monitors. 40-43 inches are perfect size for normal desks. If you come from say 24-27 inch monitors it would take some time getting used to a bigger size, in my case it's about 2-3 weeks. After that everything went smoothly. QLED has several advantages over OLED in terms of price, brightness, and peace of mind regarding burn-in issue. You don't get the perfect black or response time though, but it is already far better than IPS monitors.
I am also using a Samsung QLED 43 and at first it was "weird" but now I am hooked and cant stand regular monitors. Especially as you get older, bigger is better!
I've been rocking a 55-inch TV as my monitor for more than a year, and I'm loving it! The best part is, when I've had enough of sitting, I just kick back in bed and keep on using my computer. So comfy!
I've been using 4K 43" Dell monitor. It's nice to have so much real estate, but the down side is the corners, which you look at at an acute angle, making it less readable, and you also need to turn your head . So basically I use the active windows at the middle and secondary ones at the edges.
I use the Samsung 57 in my Home office for productivity (love it at full res on my Macbook Pro) and on the other end of my huge L shaped desk I use the LG CX 48in OLED for gaming/media for the paste couple of years. Best of both worlds!
Just use a black wallpaper, then you don't really have to worry about burn-in, have hidden mouse addon, hidden taskbar, or just auto screen saver after several minutes incase you forgot, or just simply return back to desktop if you have icons hidden and black wallpaper, don't even need to turn off the monitor.
I've been using a 65in Samsung curved TV since 2015. At the time I got it and up until recently it was for everything entertainment, movies, cable, console, and PC amd was in my living room on a custom desk/entertainment center. I went with this setup due to space limitations initially and just stuck with it until my current house. TVs have come a long way since then and now that I have a dedicated office, I'm thinking of downsizing, but not by munch. Looking at 48-50in OLEDs with 144hz refreshrate for gaming/entertainment to share the custom desk with my 34in IPS screen I use for photo/video editing.
@@mulayamyadav5956 actually is two things: great and more complicated than I thought. 1. the size is great (provided everything is running fine, which si actually more complicated than I though, see point 2). I'm able (using the rectangle app) to basically work with like seems like two monitors side by side. I'm a lawyer and working and comparing documents is great, watching videos in 4k is amazing, everything is great. I'm using the MacBook in clamshell mode all the time now. 2. its actually more complicated than I thought. I'm using a dongle I've always used, it as a HDMI out that I use to connect to the TV. I was not able to get 4k and 60hz form it. I as able to get 4k and 30hz, and 1080p and 60z only. 1080 for this size is very bad, and kills your eyes and just looks pixelated like crazy. My friend loaned me an original apple usb to cdmi/display port (also has power in) and that opened up all the options (including 4k 60hz and HDR). Before that I bought an individual usb to HDMI adapter and that didn't work AT ALL. Just returned it. With the original Apple thing everything works, now, that is 70 bucks, mind you. After I disconnected it, is like the Macbook "learned" 4k 60z and now the dongle is doing 4k 60z with no issues. I ordered a usb cdmi cable, that's supposed to work as well, let's see when it arrives. Right now, only ting I dont have with the dongle is HRD (did have it with apples adapter). HDR does make a very noticeable difference for the better. So, be aware of this (you need a lot of bandwidth to be able to get 4k 60 z HRD) which is the bets the MacBook Air m1 can punch out. It doe look great. I still have not been able to the sound to work (but I always use my speakers so I dont mind). All in all, I'm loving the set up, and feel greta I didn't spends the same on a 27 inch monitor with 144hz (which my MacBook cannot export to, as is capped at 4k 60hz). Go for it, buy the cable (15 dollars) or the 70 bucks Apple adapter. I'll see if the cable work in 5 days when it arrives.
I have a 4 monitor setup for full time video editing. 3 standard monitors on the desk, with a 40 inch LCD tv mounted above the lower 3 monitors. It lets me get a full screen video output and get a feel for how the final image will look on a normal size TV. It is great for revealing any errors in the images that would be missed in the standard source/timeline windows.
I just got a 65" (flat) 4K VA LCD TV a week ago and it didn't take long to adjust. I have it about 42" from me. Was using a 40" within arm's reach before that. I've never been able to stand the dual monitor thing. Once I realized I could move it back against the wall and have a ton of desk space, I was sold.
I've upgraded my MSI GE77HX 17" screen to a 55'' LG C4 TV and the experience has blown me away! Music production is so much more enjoyable when squinting isn't required.
Um, I use three monitors when editing Da Vinci, Macbook 15", Asus 27", and my (living room's) Samsung 50", which I swivel towards my work desk. Sometimes I use my 4K projector to really get the full picture. The colour calibration isn't perfect on the Samsung 50", hence the Asus. However, I'm sure the colours are more accurate on the Oleds.
I've been using a 55in 4K TV (non QLED) as a monitor for about a year. I use it for gaming, work, and browsing. I use WIndows 11 apps to split the screen (when needed) into 4 separate monitors. In addition, I have positioned 2, 27in PC monitors, mounted vertically on each side of the 55in for an amazingly usable setup. I can not go back to PC monitors after doing this, it is perfect. Heck yeah, go with the 4K TV
I just got a 55 inch qled 8k screen to use. I need to wall mount it to create enough distance to use comfortably. I wanted a 43 or 48 inch 8k screen, but the maximum is 4k. Thats too low a resolution for creative work, or just to get the screen looking sharp. I had a 43 inch samsung smart monitor and I missed the sharpness of my 32 inch
Hi, Thank you for this useful video! I have also started using one but I am finding myself sitting too close. Could you please tell me at what distance you kept the TV?
Even back in the 90s me and my buddies would gather around a tiny dos screen watching doom an even then I wondered why we couldn't attach the computer to the bigger TV screen instead of watching a small 20 inch screen at a desk. Or even connected to the movie theater screen.
Nice vid!! I am using a mini-led 50” TV, but when gaming, I play in windowed mode; it's very uncomfortable to play games on this monitor size with a close approximately. May I ask one question, please: This or the g9 57”? Because I am thinking to switch
@PeteMatheson; Thank you for helping to find an answer to a very difficult question! Your guidance would be super appreciated on this; What about something like the Hisense U8K Tv being paired with a strong 4080 RTX as an example? 55", 4k, 144Hz, G-Sync, 280Hz @ 1080p, HDMI 2.1, HD10+ etc etc? I'm comparing this to the Dell 32Q2332G - it's slightly more expensive than the TV, also 4K, 144Hz etc, but only 32", not QLED, and has no onboard processor. Only 'positive' I know of is the 1.4 DP on the Dell, but that's less bandwidth than using the true 2.1 to 2.1 48Gb/s HDMI, even though the HDMI carries both Audio and Visual data, unlike the 1.4 DP, it can handle it. What to do? 🙌🏼
@@DieIndruk hey, I know it's been a while. I'm really curious as to what you went with since I'm in the same boat. Thinking if getting the U8N 55inch. Also if you chose a tv how far arr you sitting from the screen and does the text look blurred or can you see the pixels?
@@souvikb1812 Heya! I decided to go with the U8K! It has a next gen chip in.. I would honestly say; take a PS5, go to a shop - plug it into a gaming monitor (at least 120Hz capable) and then do the same for the TV, and decide from there. Btw - I may be wrong, but the U8K might be a little better than the U8N just double-check 👍🏼
Another thing to consider - the bigger the monitor; the more it costs. The smaller the TV; the less it costs (and more dpi 😁). So if you go for the TV, be sure to stick to the smallest form factor possible - 55" being the sweet-spot for the U8K/N.
@@DieIndruk Hi, thanks for replying. Honestly, I would have been happier if there was a 48/50 inch U8N/K. Also I don't game so I mainly need it to code and read documents. Since I have a 3.5 feet distance from the screen I need a larger screen to multitask. What distance are you at from your screen and do you see the pixels when text is displayed or does it look fine. I am a bit concerned with the 80 PPI and am worried the the text might look blurry.
main issue for me - the TV doesn't automatically switch ON/OFF when my PC is turned ON/OFF. I have to turn the TV ON with the remote. Small thing but for somebody who comes and goes having to grab the remote every time i sit at my desk because the PC has gone to sleep and therefore the TV has shut off(timer) it becomes OLD very quickly.
Im not sure if its because of my tvs but i had my Mac connected to my Sony Bravia oled and it would turn off itself, and i recently picked up the lg c4 for a monitor and it does the same thing, it turns off by itself ?
I just bought and set up a new Samsung 43" Smart TV to replace a dual 32"/27" setup It's frigging AMAZING!!! I am using this for my music DAW/Video editing workstation When my 32 and 27 Monitors die, i am definitely replacing with a 43" Samsung DU7200 $289 @ Best Buy
@@PeteMatheson thanks - great video by the way i went the budget route with the Samsung Crystal display over QLED or OLED i pulled the trigger and bought a second DU7200 for my CAD workstation. couldn't be happier. Microsoft FancyZones is defintely worth checking out for these larger single monitor setups.
its really great for windows but on macos, due to the menubar being stuck at the top of the screen it becomes really cumbersome to heave to reach up there for all my apps, really wish macos would have this in the app window like windows
I'm currently viewing this video on a 77 inch OLED TV (OLED77CXPUA) to which I connected my Windows laptop. I could not be happier with the setup. You'd think this TV is way too big to be used as a monitor.. but then just move back as much as needed. That's what I did. Also, I have no issues with clarity of text or with input lag (I set the picture mode to "gaming", which resolved that). Overall, it's a fantastic experience, even if I'm unsure how long I will persist with it.
You can't move back from the monitor when you are working on a computer, it should be about a 1ft away. The distance from the eye to the keyboard and monitor are approximately the same. The practical maximum size of a computer monitor is about 43", and that's the largest any computer monitor is made. Make it bigger and you won't be able to see the corners well, the text quality would be worse, and your head would have to be turned. That's the difference between watching TV and working on a computer.
I contacted Macbook Pro to Sony TV. It's work fine to open and read the apps but whenever I editing video using premiere pro, the quality of preview clip is so bad. I don't know why? Although I adjusted all the settings of monitor resolution
You will have burn-in if you spend a relatively significant amount of that a time on social media platforms, or on anything where the whole screen is not constantly changing, where part of the screen remains stagnant. For instance, on X (Twitter), only the center moves, and the left and the righthand side of the screen remain fixed. That causes burn-in in a very short amount of time, and it quickly becomes irreversible in a matter of hours, especially when you do that daily.
@@workinprogress9613 Do you think this could happen with videocalls (like Meet)? I'm thinking about getting a TV but my workflow is basically a windowed videocall on the upper right corner and a writing doc file on the left side of the screen, 8 hours a day. What are your thoughts about it?
@@FogLittleFog It's not like I'm some kind of expert to offer an opinion like that. I'm just a consumer who has experience burn-in. You can literally line up the burn-in with the x (previously twitter) screen. If part of the screen stays as-is for a significant time (I forget how long it takes), you could experience burn-in, and such that is irreversible. You might want to consider a Samsung, which boasts relative immunity to burn-in - though I've no experience with that (yet)
Im a little confused. I want to do the opposite. Monitor as a TV to watch movies/youtube in my bedroom with chromecast. What should I look for that's important? I want it to run smoothly with a really nice quality. I bought a second hand monitor with 2560x1440 but it says 1080p as native and cant change it in the panel. Its a bit older samsung s32d850t. A bit choppy and dont 100% sadestfied with the picture quality. What should be the most important spec to look for without wasting anymore money? Thanks alot for any input.
I’ll be going for a 42” 144hz oled tv, my reasoning is I feel anything designed for the “gamer” is full of tat to artificially inflate the price. I’m not new to oled either and I have yet to experience burn in.
If you havent tried the Samsung odyssey ark yet you definitely have to, i went from a 75" tv couch setup to the ark on a desk and never going back, its insanely immersive
@@electric1150 honestly i dont know yet as i been using 1080p as my pc is limited. Just picked up a 3090ti today but dont have the correct power cable but will get one tomorrow
I went from dual 27", to single 34" ultra wide, to a 4k 42" OLED, and the OLED is just way better for everything. I just wish it was 5k resolution instead of 4k because of scaling, but with 8k TVs coming down in price its only a matter of time for someone to create a sub 50" 8k TV which will have perfect scaling.
A lot of users also wear contacts or eyeglasses. Many of which come with blue light filtering lenses nowadays. Even if it would have been an issue before, current eyewear technology would have solved a lot of the problem. I'd also recommend computer glasses for anyone who spends enough time in front a screen to be worried about that anyway.
@@Keestralyou wouldn't at all be concerned if your entire room was a giant monitor..? Every bit of your room would be emitting radiation at you, you focusing on what part doesn't change that.
At first you might think yes. But many TVs have a game mode for consoles, which gives fast response times similar to a monitor, and then it is not a problem anymore. I don't know of any TVs that don't have this, but it is still worth checking for a specific monitor what the input lag is and if it has something like a game mode.

@@FogLittleFog It's not like I'm some kind of expert to offer an opinion like that. I'm just a consumer who has experience burn-in. You can literally line up the burn-in with the x (previously twitter) screen. If part of the screen stays as-is for a significant time (I forget how long it takes), you could experience burn-in, and such that is irreversible. You might want to consider a Samsung, which boasts relative immunity to burn-in - though I've no experience with that (yet)
@@workinprogress9613 Thank you very much for your insightful answer. I'll consider Samsung as you've said.
Im a little confused. I want to do the opposite. Monitor as a TV to watch movies/youtube in my bedroom with chromecast. What should I look for that's important? I want it to run smoothly with a really nice quality. I bought a second hand monitor with 2560x1440 but it says 1080p as native and cant change it in the panel. Its a bit older samsung s32d850t. A bit choppy and dont 100% sadestfied with the picture quality.
What should be the most important spec to look for without wasting anymore money?
Thanks alot for any input.
I’ll be going for a 42” 144hz oled tv, my reasoning is I feel anything designed for the “gamer” is full of tat to artificially inflate the price.
I’m not new to oled either and I have yet to experience burn in.
I think i am going to buy the Sony A90J 43" OLED for gaming and keep my 32" GQ950 144hz for a 2nd.
If you havent tried the Samsung odyssey ark yet you definitely have to, i went from a 75" tv couch setup to the ark on a desk and never going back, its insanely immersive
On its way! I reviewed the first gen, but haven't checked out the 2nd gen yet.
How is 2k resolution on that monitor?
@@electric1150 honestly i dont know yet as i been using 1080p as my pc is limited. Just picked up a 3090ti today but dont have the correct power cable but will get one tomorrow
Currently using a 75" a PPDS interactive touchscreen and would never go back...
This TV would be absolutely perfect if they had added a display port instead of just HDMI.
I went from dual 27", to single 34" ultra wide, to a 4k 42" OLED, and the OLED is just way better for everything. I just wish it was 5k resolution instead of 4k because of scaling, but with 8k TVs coming down in price its only a matter of time for someone to create a sub 50" 8k TV which will have perfect scaling.
what about your eyes? sitting that close to a giant TV certainly would have some consequences.
Why would it? You are focusing to the some distance as a regular monitor.
@@Nisunsu that was an issue like 50 years ago with first CRT TVs. Not now.
A lot of users also wear contacts or eyeglasses. Many of which come with blue light filtering lenses nowadays. Even if it would have been an issue before, current eyewear technology would have solved a lot of the problem. I'd also recommend computer glasses for anyone who spends enough time in front a screen to be worried about that anyway.
@@Keestralyou wouldn't at all be concerned if your entire room was a giant monitor..? Every bit of your room would be emitting radiation at you, you focusing on what part doesn't change that.
you should try the asus ultrawide monitors (49” pg49wcd oled)
no my Samsung 1080p tv can not replace my full hd acer moniter for pc u need a moniter for that like u need a tv to do movies or shows
My 43" 4k TV has a powered USB port. Smart TVs will have more functionality than a regular TV.
I use my lg 8k 75 in as a monitor an it is wow, so many windows open you can see at the same time. 😊😊😊😊😊
Well I have bad eyes. I use a 40 Inch 4K TV as a Monitor with 200% Scaling.
Tv color quality contrast frequency size resolution ....
Mandem be too close 😵💫😵💫👀
Since you can use Your TV As a monitor but Can you use your monitor as TV?
Hey! Pete’s channel manager, Chris, here! I live in a studio flat so actually DO use my monitor as a TV (because space saving)! 😅
Problems with lag anyone? Thanks
At first you might think yes. But many TVs have a game mode for consoles, which gives fast response times similar to a monitor, and then it is not a problem anymore.
I don't know of any TVs that don't have this, but it is still worth checking for a specific monitor what the input lag is and if it has something like a game mode.
Do people here use wireless method of connecting their computers to their TVs? Say AirPlay...
No.. Wireless IS Not so smooth
I have burn in, with world of warcraft 🙂
Is it safe with radiation to use a tv as a monitor?
@@kwazyb there is no radiation from tvs. Just light, no risk there
@@DanielMelogpiAll tech releases EMF.
@@DanielMelogpi wear eye patches and see if you can tell the difference between being up against a screen and up against a wall....you can easily tell it's a screen because IT IS EMITTING RADIATION DUHHH
How were you able to play Fortnite on the MacBook Pro?😱🥲 The epic launcher on my m4 pro MacBook won't let me install the game😭
