    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 ruclips.net/video/pW0YET3M0XI/видео.html

      Same thing I did with the spare LCD tv I have lying around. It is the 40NX500 monolithic design from Sony.

    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!

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 лет назад +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?

    How many inches is that tv? I have an 32 inch tv here and I've been testing it ONLY on my laptop, and the resolution is very small for a 32 inch led tv (I use 1366x768 on the laptop) and I haven't tested it out on my pc yet, I've been thinking, is it just because I am using a laptop with 1366x768 screen making the resolution on the tv small and is it gonna big when I plug it in my pc?

      Its 32 inches as well, I feel anything above 32 inches for a monitor will be too big (depends on your viewing distance) as for resolution, that depends on the type of TV you've got, if you use HDMI cable the laptop/desktop should automatically select the correct resolution for you, for my TV its 1920x1080p. Google the model of your TV and you will get to know if its full HD or HD.
      Also, when using a laptop, make sure that you have selected external display as your main so that you are not using your laptop's display, that will allow you to crank the resolution to the native resolution of the TV.
      Sometimes everything looks big because of the way Windows scales the UI, if things look too big, right click on your desktop and go to 'Display Settings' under 'change the size of text apps and other items' set that to 100%.
