Monitors and TVs are strikingly similar these days - but have they become interchangeable, or are there still important differences between them?

Jeez this guy looks like the dude from LinusTechTips
I know right?!
haha
Me too, righttt
No...... this is Austin Evans!
Just waiting to r/woosh someone
me watching this with my pc plugged into a tv 😂
I'm using my old 55 inch Plasma. hahah! It's getting old but I still love my old Plasma.
yep 65 inch
@Drty_Windshield my tv is good but not good for color correction on premiere
im on phone i have a chromebook and shitty monitor
Lol iam using Samsung 40inch TV I don't complain
The simple difference is that monitors have much faster response times. For gaming, response times are just as important as the refresh rate measured in Hz. Linus just tested several TVs and some had response times up to 80 ms.
Fucking ridiculous
The response time for my TV is 2 years.
Most tvs today has less than 10ms response time. When oled appeared they killed any pc monitors untill they also started to do oled screens.
Petition to start the manufacturing of gaming TV's!
Wouldn't that be, .......monitor?
@@narayanavhale4514 monitors don't have receivers for TV functionality or infrared for remote controls
Slap a Corsair, Razor, Gigabyte Aorus or Asus ROG branding on it and starting prices will be in the five digits at least.
@@celsius1359 you have a console or a pc, this is useless
Well in the near future gaming tv's will be common.
1.Higher pixel density
2. Higher refresh rates
3. Better response times
Damn came back to this for someone correcting grammar to realize it blew up lol
Y cant manufacturers not make tvs that improve on those weaknesses tho? Is is bc increased production costs and generally unnecessary for their niche?
@@greenstorm5568 yes.
Greenstorm why ask a question you already know the answer to?
@@FrozenEtho not bc i neccessarily dont know, but it was a way to blow off a frustrating truth. Kind of like "so your telling me... Example: pay double??"
#1 is no longer true at all
#2 The gap is closing
#3 Mostly true, but the gap is closing there too
know what's funny? Just used my old tv as a monitor for my new pc build and spent ages working out why the resolutions wouldn't line up. Coulda used this 8 hours earlier linus
Gotta turn off dat overscan, man.
You telling me you built a PC and didn't know this sheet modasuka
I tried to match the TV picture up with my monitor's (because I know my monitor is calibrated to accurate colors), tried, but it's still a little off.
I could easily do the same mistake, I thought they have the same features..
thanks dude, will try it out today. I tried using it in the display preferences in windows and got a somewhat good result by making the picture a bit smaller than the tv so I have some big bezels but not enough to annoy me. I'll try the GPU control panel
Fast forward to 2020 and the LG C9 has a MS lag of 1, a refresh rate of 120hz and on top of that it is OLED And Nvidia G-Sync compatible, can't say that for a lot of monitors, so the Gap is closing really fast.
No it isn't , now a monitor powered by nvidia has a refresh rate of 360 Hz . 3x the TV you're speaking of . Though I agree that 120 Hz is fine too...
Sid thegamer Anything over 120hertz is useless
stormer I’ve got one too and I didn’t know that either. It’s the best TV I’ve ever had. The only annoying thing about it is that it won’t switch on automatically when it receives input from my computer. It will for every other device, just not my computer. Don’t know why
t1077 That’s because your computer most like doesn’t support CEC while those other devices do.
@@simply_cake yes because humans can't see more than 8gb of ram
For those who use their PCs for more than gaming, then a 2nd monitor is one of those hugely productive never-go-back experiences-like moving from monochrome to color.
Checking Newegg & Amazon, 2 x 42" monitors are over $1,000 cheapest. I'll stick with my 2 x 42" TVs-I don't play online, so the big-screen experience beats any tech advantages for me.
Tips for using a TV you already have:
1. Try the different ports on your TV to see which is best. They're often not all the same-try any labelled Game or PC first.
2. Change the default port name from HDMI1 to PC or Game-that can config some TVs to be more game friendly.
3. Switch off all the other TV modes you don't need.
Tips for buying a TV for gaming:
Must have
1. Latency max 30ms for action games, else max 45ms.
2. Full RGB or YCbCr color support.
Nice to have
Non-interpolated refresh over 60Hz.
PC or Game mode.
Shouldn't you try try any labelled Game or PC LAST? If they ARE the best, no need for an extra change to the right one.

You are definitely correct on that. I just recently started using two monitors and I will never go back to a single monitor setup unless it is absolutely necessary. As to the subject of this video, my second monitor is actually a vizio 35inch t.v. LOL

Markus Napp lmao I was wondering if anyone was gonna point that out.
umm it didnt tear lol
Doge umm yes it did....very much did my friend it was very fast and if your didn’t see it the g-sync and free sync are currently pointless to you as it was a hard harsh and you can tell they very much meant to do it. It was only a single frame so we are talking very quick
Uh, no it didn't....
@@johnnyboy2165 253+ people including me can confirm it did.
Input lag, refresh rate, vrr, color accuracy and gamut... it’s amazing how just 18 months after this video was made mainstream TVs like LG’s 9 and X series have addressed all these issues and are now actively being marketed to gamers. I still wouldn’t want to use an OLED as my main monitor, but I would definitely love to have one as a dedicated gaming display
This comment being 3 years old makes me excited over how even more PC compatible TVs have become for gaming.
looking into buying a TV so this is good news. can use it for gaming too. :)
In the earlier days of HD screens, I really loved using a TV for my display when playing games like Shadow of Mordor. This video, 2.5 years later, finally taught me why I preferred my TV to my slightly-older-but-still-halfway-decent monitor. Thanks Linus!

3 years on, and with dozens of 'my TV is now my monitor' vids on YT, I suspect that it's time for Linus to revisit this. TV manufacturers definitely got the message re response times even I'm personally not sure I could handle that much screen real estate.
I love how you apply effects on the video as an example...

I think this video could use a 2024 refresh, since we've gotten more OLED panels in the monitor space, as well as curve and weird aspect ratios.
for the experience I have, usually tvs have much lower dpi counts. so they may be pretty decent at certain distances, but they really suck up close.
Now that's a legitimate question I've always wanted to get an answer to.
Same to me
If you've really wanted to get the answer, you'd look for it and find out yourself.
Andrianarinivo this video has failed to provide an answer
Try explaining this to other people, the ignorance is mind blowing.
This is the simple version.
Monitor = no built in tuner
TV = has a built in tuner
My main problem with TVs is it seems pretty much all of the "good" ones (4K OLED) have some bloated OS it has to boot for all kinds of stuff I don't want. I wish it was possible to get a color-accurate 70" 4K OLED panel that powers on in just a couple of seconds and does absolutely nothing except display the HDMI signal I send it, much closer to how a monitor would generally behave.
The Sony ZF9 was the most colour accurate TV ever released when it came out last year. Not sure how their 2019 flagship compares. The downside of the 2018 ZF9 was less deep blacks and some blooming issues, but other than that it was the best or among the best in every other category.
mannnn good look with the color accurate part but i use a 4k lcd tv as my monitor and this bugger boots up with the quickness and performs like a champ (to me at least) with low latency to boot
@@TH-camTookMyNickname.WhyNot with most newer tvs having a low latency game mode you can pick up a sub 500 dollar 50 plus inch 4k tv (maybe even one with acceptable hdr and local dimming) and really enjoy ur pc as long as u have the graphics horsepower to push those pixels
What you want is a TV that's not a Smart TV and I agree. If I want Netflix or TH-cam I can use a laptop and plug it in to the television. I don't actually think non-smart TVs exist though.
David I use my ps4 pro for those things
This video just make me appreciate how far we have come technological wise. 4 yrs and all the mentioned points for monitor are available on TV now. Writing this from 48 inch C1.
Here’s a really short summary:
TVs are for entertainment
Monitors are for gaming and productivity and everything that’s within the lines.
Exactly! I'd use a monitor for gaming, and TVs to watch sports or movies

Haarba1 I use a 24" as my main monitor and a 22" as my second however the second is also my tv which it was designed for. I just make extra use for it, and my tv is smaller than my monitor lmao
Well worth doing a revised version of this video. Comparing 32' TVs with the current monitors would make for a compelling video.

thats really cool, its in my lg tv all the time!
When I moved my PlayStation from my 50 inch TV over to my computer monitor and played a first person shooter I knew I could never go back to the big screen TV. Now I have a splitter so if I want to play something besides a FPS I can put it on the big screen and hop on the couch.
Doing the same With racing games; )
Satevo whats the splitter called
I've figured this too. The only thing that's keeping me from getting a monitor as opposed to playing ps4 games on my 50" Samsung tv is I don't have the space right now. I know damn well I would never go back to playing games on a tv ever again if I had a monitor.
What monitor I need one for my Xbox
You have a shitty 50 inch TV then. Get yourself a good gaming TV and you'll never want to play on a tiny screen again.
Wait!! Response time isn't inputlag!!!! Response time is the speed of pixel change!
correct however for gamers it has identical symptoms to input lag as you can't effectively see what your next move is until after the screen has changed and some games even use the pixel changes to determine response times effectively turning response time intoo a game specific type of input lag. i call it game lag.
@@CatOnACell not really no. The change still happen at the inputlag rate. the response time only implies more blur as the pixel reach full transition before next frame. The "game lag" actualy have a name: it's called display lag that is the time between receaving the signal and actually display it. Input lag = system lag (time between input and send finished frame to display) + display lag
Again, response time IS NOT display lag.
response time is totally display lag...
@@kingjames4886 No, it is not. I'm not speculating, I'm affirming. Go research and you will see.
Here: th-cam.com/video/4vHX2Efuq_M/w-d-xo.html
In this case, it seems a TV from 2015 that have 37 to 48ms inputlag but quick response time (maybe samsung). The time the image takes to change don't enter in the inputlag as the picture is already on screen but the pixel didn't responded the change completly.
One of the best videos out there for this topic! +Techquikie you're always helpful.
Man this TH-cam channel is the best...I’m a kid and I learned ram, vram, cpu, gpu and more from this channel thx a lot 👍🏽
I started out with a c64 hooked up to a 13" TV, then I upgraded to a PC with a 19" CRT. I realized my PC CRT had a better image resolution so I started to use that to watch TV. Eventually I upgraded to a 46" 1080P LCD TV and realized my PC monitor was looking rough in comparison. So I got a 4k monitor and now my TV looks like shit again..... There is no winning.
I have a 17" PC CRT monitor that has a lot better colors, contrast, black level etc. than my 1080p LCD monitors on my main PC. But I don't have money to buy any better LCD monitors
CRT's don't require HDR & do 4k just fine
Steve Martino yes there is. I bought a 65” UHD QLED HDR monitor. So. What’s a tv? I haven’t bothered with a TV for the better part of a decade.
Wes I wish I could afford something like that, sounds nice
It's called *features* and understand why you don't need it. #standard4lyfe 1080p isn't going anywhere anytime soon as it's not even perfected to help cope with GPU Temps if we're talking PC
Short answer monitors are Better for gaming
Finn McCann
No shit
And gaming is what I do most. So.. *snaps fingers* yahhh...
Not for all gaming. If you only play RPG's(or mostly single player games that don't require fast input lag) and you want that crisp colors and big screen size than TV is the way to go.
monitors are better for gaming only if you prefer faster response times and better color. however if you prefer to play on a big screen then a tv is better
its same for most games only if you have 1070 or better card bcz above 60 fps and fast respond time for games like cs:go
“I’m not gonna cry over it”😭😂😂😭😭😭you’re so hilarious
1. Builtin Sat Decoder
2. Builtin "Smart" menu B.S.
3. Lower pixel density
4. Lower refresh rates
5. Lower response times
6. Higher price
TVs are more likely to have speakers built in. There are monitors with speakers built in, but it is more rare. On computer they are more relying on person to have a separate speaker set connected to sound card or having headphones.
For me I happened to get both of my monitors with speakers, but one of them has really bad location and quality for them, other one has acceptable quality and placement for youtube, movies and such. Or well to be more precise one of them has a speaker, while other one has speakers, so mono vs stereo sound and it makes a difference.
TVs: tv shows and movies
Monitors: smoothest porn
TVs: Bigger porn for less cost.

Cavey Manta you seem to hate monitors a lot lol
Only a smart person buys a projector to watch porn at a 130” display
The "response time" you looked up on PC Part Picker refers to grey to grey response, though, not input lag. Input lag is stil 10-16 ms on most monitors.
Tomiply no you are incompetent
Correct answer, so many errors in tech quicky
And what about input lag on tvs? Whats the usual? I'm going to guess that gaming on monitors will always be better but want to be sure about the input lag

I've been struggling with the tv or monitor debate for something to game on with my PS4 for weeks, and the last point of this video finally let me make a decision. TV.
Thank you.
Now if I could decide on HD or 4K.
I have been gaming on 4k tvs for 4 years and after doing it for so long ive convinced myself im not at any disadvantage in any games mastering minute difference in response time and kicking ass in every title i play. And gaming in 4k on oled is the most beautiful eloquent thing ive ever experienced
Went from a 20something inch monitor with decent color to an older 2007 42" 1080p LG. The colors did seem better in comparison due to the calibration it got, and the shear screen size has been so much better to work with. Downside, as most people have already commented, the resolution doesn't line up nicely. Have to use 1804x1014 for my desktop and most games. Some games can still fit correctly at true 1920x1080 though, which I still don't understand. Also, I do get UI element burn in/ghosting, but oh well!
I use a 48" Sony Bravia for my pc monitor. Does the job just fine.
Our main tv (65" LG) is for the console games. It's awesome.
I'm currently forced to work on a 43" tv at 4k, working from home with my new working gear. Actually not bad, but that is simply too large a screen for actual work. Conversely, I've been using 4k on a 24" monitor and that made things too small, to a point I had to enlarge the HiDPI output correction to 125%. So there is a balance and such a thing as "too big".
RESPONSE TIME ISN'T THE SAME AS INPUT LAG UGGGHHHHHHHH
he never said it was lol
@@GizmoFTW the screen showed "response time" ratings when he talked about input lag
I was hoping someone would point this out, lol
Yeah learned this the hard way with my first 4k monitor, which subsequently went back to the store the next day.
Right he mixed Resp time with input lag.
Input lag of monitors is more like 10-15ms

God damn it linus, I thought the screen tear in the video was legitimately my monitor doing it
Me too
I cringed so badly at it.
I use a 48inch 4k LED TV and game on it. I do fairly well considering how bad I am at Siege. I don’t know my response time but it has 60hz for definite and I’ve done a 4:4:4 colour test and it passed. I play all my games windowed mode 1440p resolution, when up close as 48inch is too big and then movies and tv shows are in full screen when I’m chilling further back. Plus that amount of screen real estate is awesome for multitasking and the pixel density is great to! The only thing I wish it had was 120hz but for now and for a cheap 4k TV, it’s bloody excellent!
I needed to add this on... With my screen, if I do have games in full screen when I game on a controller, I have to go and use borderless window to stop screen tearing! Same settings in full screen, screen tearing EVERYWHERE! Same settings in windowed or borderless, smooth as heck. Someone please explain this?!
Thats because in windowed and borderless options the Vsync is always on. In Full screen Mode the Vsync is optional and must be turned on if you want to avoid screen tearing.

one thing i love about tvs over monitors

apple monitor welcomes you !!!!
@@giotphan9673 They are expensive
livin that imac life
never had a clue about the input label, using a tv with my ps4 and the colours look so much better after changing it to pc
thanks Linus, this video really helped me. I didn't know whether to choose a monitor or tv for my PC but i realised that I'm gonna watch more videos on TH-cam and movies on Netflix then actually play games, so i went with a TV to get a more comfortable experience
I'm using tvs currently. Amazon said they wouldn't ship the monitors i wanted to my area so the next available ones blew my budget for a pc build. Ended up with a set of tvs. In addition to being cheaper, the next difference i notice (and really hate) is being bound to a remote controls to turn the tvs on. It also took slight tinkering to get the image quality to look correct. I don't recommend if you can afford the monitors, but tvs do make a decent cheap alternative.
One other key difference that really separates the 2 is that TVs have a tuner, and monitors do not. It doesn't matter as much these days with all of the set top boxes out there but still a very differenting feature I think.
1:16 just wondering isn’t respond time means the time it takes for pixels to change to another Color (GTG) and not time it takes to respond to inputs?
its related, he mainly did a shorcut explanation hence techquickie. faster GTG means shorter delay from input to picture action so yeah faster response times.
@@kuyache2 yeah but the numbers he showed in the video has nothing to do with input lag
That's awesome you added screen tearing right after you said it!!
Rule One: Don't talk about Linus Tech Tips
lol
You just broke your own rule 🤦♂️
Explains what input lag is, but highlights response times....? Umm that's not right
While response time does not mean the exact same thing as input lag a faster response time will still display the image earlier than a slow response time which in turn gives you more time to react it's almost the same thing but not quite.
got fooled by that once. never again slimey marketing people
Hey Linus, love your videos.
One thing to add - you messed up response time and input lag, those things are completely different.
Good point, weird he confused it as it's pretty basic knowledge.
Almost had me!
Good video.
Thanks for uploading.
I love the game example you gave the moment you mentioned gaming the first time ❤️
4:43 - "Stop watching me sleep!, It's creepy!"
"Dude, we're playing a game"
"Oh. Still. It's creepy."
I play on a 4k TV - it's 55 inch, about 20 ms input lag [with Game Mode on] - I usually do PC sim racing at 4k @ 60 Hz [tv's max]. People - make sure your TV works in the 422 or 444 mode [also set in drivers], dont do any fps limiters so each frame falling into 60Hz is more accurate, and its grand! I have it hooked up as my only monitor, so I do WIndows on that no problem, and for movies you can even turn on Smooth Motion filters and such, which makes it for an even better experience. Been using TV's as monitors for years now - started with a 40 inch 1080p years ago and then went up to 47 inch and 55 now. Cant complain - Im surprised more people are not into it.
Yeah me too...i have a 4k sony 55 inch tv also with 20 ms...im also shocked that people prefer to play in 27 inch monitors....no thanks! i prefer my 4k tv FOR EVERYTHING
videogames,youtube videos,tv series,anime,movies even porn...using a monitor would feel outdated by comparison....everybody has different opinions i guess!

I changed from 27" eSports monitor to 65" 120 hz 4K TV and can't imagine to change back to regular monitors. Gaming, graphic design, movies etc. is much more fun on a huge screen.

I love my 55 inch LG TV it looks super good I’ve been having it for a year and it looks super good the real 4K
I have been using a "dual" Samsung 16" (or 19"?) TV/Monitor for over 5 years now, and as you showed in this vid, have to switch from PC to HDMI/TV or viceversa. I'm not a gamer ("celebrated" sort of- my 80th BD last December ) so can't comment on how good or bad it works but it's been working fine so far in both options, so I am not complaining . Though I use mainly the Monitor option; don't watch TV or Cable since quite some time, thanks to TH-cam and Netflix . Love your "Quickie" vids !! I find them instructive and above all FUN to watch. 😊👍
You are right.Thanks for your video Techquickie. Greetings from Iceland!
2:23 I see what you did there linus. Simulated screen tearing.
2:20 aswell
3:54 There Are Already terahd (16k) microled monitors With 16bit Color
This channel is what you watch to warm up for the things you dont understand when watching ltt
Thanks for the video. Power consumption and EMF may be considerations for some.
Who else thinks Tech*Quickie* isnt fast enough and watches it on 1.25x ? :)
mrlithium why stop there
If there is only one person in the video 2x if there is a group talking at the same time 1.5x.
I watch almost all videos on 2x....

@@AbhishekThakur-wl1pl There's this cool extension for Chrome called video speed controller. I use it often to watch some videos at 3x. :p

What does he mean with "specially out of the box"?
Companies use extreme and incorrect screen calibrations for the WOW factor.
It might look contrasty and vivid but it will also look wrong.
Shadows and highlights loses details, colors looks too colorful (red skin for example).
There is always the natural mode (or srgb in some TVs) but it's almost always not the one set by default
TVs oversaturate, oversharpen & colour grade whatever it displays out of the box... An unclamped HDR monitor displaying SDR content would be considered "accurate" in comparison...
TV's are calibrated more for showcase on a display floor at a retail store. Where lighting is typical a lot brighter than you would have in your home. The manufacturer trys to make the image pop as possible to attract buyers, but the default settings are typically not ideal out of the box when you get the TV home.
How about half and half. I'm a fron-end web developer. I use my wall mounted 42" TV along with either a laptop display or a monitor. I would usually have the editor on the tv (where text is bigger and color accuracy doesn't matter) and do anything color accuracy-wise on the monitor.
It's nice to see the picture of Bled, Slovenia on the TV display.
-"70 inch behemoth..."
-wut? Who?
This is the simple version.
Monitor = no built in tuner
TV = has a built in tuner
When lcd and plasma TVs first came out you could get cheaper ones without a tuner. I only use the tuner and rabbit ear antenna on mine when the cable goes out
Not at all
Some monitors does have a tuner. And I would say manual settings for the monitor is considered a "tuner"
i have tv without tuner
If it has a tuner, it's a TV. If it has tech specs suitable for PC gaming, then it is vastly overqualified to be a TV.
Perhaps this topic could use a revisit. >_>
Longtime PC gamer here now looking at ditching the desk, and mounting up a TV. A TV for PC gaming, maybe a little console gaming (for some exclusives), and video content all in one. Personally kinda side eyeing that Sony Bravia 9. •_•
The "I'm using a TV as my monitor and love it" crowd seems to be growing. I mean there isn't anything stopping me, 20ish years of PC gaming and now I'm bearded, hair thinning, back sore, and in my 30's.. and ready to try something different or weird.
I been using a TV as a monitor before it was cool, for the past 16 years and so.
I didnt expect Linus here... Iam affraid to open my fridge now, he is everywhere.
OK Linus but where do projectors fit into the mix?
I've been shopping for one but the OLED TVs have me second guessing myself.
My Samsung UE40HU6900 UHD screen changes mode when I change the HDMI input label to "PC". It removes all the post processing and colour correction rubbish to reduce the latency to a usable level. Not nearly as low as monitors, but it's virtually undetectable and quite usable for most things. Colour accuracy isn't as good as an IPS display, but you get what you pay for.
I just use it for the desktop real estate. For music production and audio editing, it makes a lot more sense than having multiple lower res monitors.
Jim Griffiths Yep, that’s how Samsungs have done it for a while now. I think you also have to have the PC connected to the HDMI port labelled “DVI”. That was a Samsung he showed at that part of the video talking about that.
Yep, my Samsung tv has that same setting. Pc mode looks different and doesn't allow sharpness and other settings to be changed.
That's how it's SUPPOSED to be for a computer! You want a video signal from a computer displayed exactly in its original form with no post processing.
yeah except the actual response time is still 20+ milliseconds long..not 1-6 milliseconds not including GTG times which monitors have far superior to...also a DVI port isn't the greatest for anything HDMI isn't even all that great other than producing sound something that it does better than DisplayPort other than that displayport offers the best experience for visuals etc. Saying you cannot tell the difference between 20 milliseconds or 1 is saying 60 fps and 120 fps look the same... they don't not even close..then again could be your poor eye sight..
Eara Soulous
I said "virtually undetectable". Of course, given an A/B comparison I'd easily be able to tell.
The point is that it doesn't "feel" laggy on its own. The mouse feels virtually instant which is good enough for sound engineering use.
3:02 Yup, had one for over 10 years
I lightly gamed and daily drove a 1080p 47 inch for years. Now I have a 49inch 4K and I love it. But I don't competitively game or anything either.
3:30 is that Dublin lol
Yep, not the first time I see the Samuel Beckett bridge used for ads
