Buy a monitor or TV

Hi All!

Have been looking at replacement for my monitor & wondered if it makes sense to buy a new TV to use instead, or is a monitor only option more sense?

Other than smaller screen size am I missing out much?

I'm not into gaming, but like my foto editing & I do look at youtube vids etc, sometimes watch i player, but hardly ever see TV!

Thanks in advance!

    I thinkthere are resolution issues with TVs being used for monitors.

    I had a similar idea and was warned against the idea.

    Maybe OK for playing the odd game, but for detailed work, a bad idea

    I am no expert though
