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 though0
