Hey guys,

a while back I bought a new 32" LED TV, I already use a Dell U2410 for my main monitor display, but I wanted to set up a dual setup.

So i hooked up my Samsung TV to my pc, now I am using the Samsung as the main display as you can see here;

my question is though, I don't see many people doing this, am I losing out on anything by not using an actual monitor? I am only using it for the extra display size and now I just use my Dell for watching movies and such.

Also i really want to have a monitor arm for my samsung but it is a bit of a tricky setup at the back it requires a custom wall bracket so I don't think there will be any suitable arm for this model (Samsung UE32B6000)

So should I stick with the samsung or should I get a proper bigger monitor?

thanks :-)
 
Not really. I've been gaming on my Samsung TV for a while. If it's a full HD TV it will have the same resolution. I guess TVs may have a slower response time, but it you can't see any ghosting then there's very little difference.

When I'm home from uni I use my 22" monitor with this as a TV or plug it into my PC if I need it. I don't ever notice any difference.
