Pc monitor vs tv monitor for gaming debate...
Hey everyone,
I want to treat myself and upgrade to either 1440p or 4K for gaming. I’m currently using an old 1080p monitor (about 6-7 years old and it’s a 24 or 27 inch) that still works great. I’ll be using my old one as a second monitor, while the new 1440p or 4k monitor will be the primary one.
Now here comes my dilemma, I see some people going for a 1440p monitor (27-34 inches) and some opting to go with a 4K tv. Strangely, the 4K setup with a tv seems cheaper than some 1440p 33 inches monitors. Why is that?
Here’s some additional information about my gaming tastes and my pc specs:
- Running a 1070 gtx gpu.
- Gaming is mostly WoW, RPGs and DBD, occasionally FPS, but not my go to games.
- I sit about 3 feet from my current monitor (but could sit farther if the 4K tv is big).
- Budget, ideally, is around 500$. But I’m willing to spend more for the most advantageous setup.
So what do you guys suggest? TIA!
