What's really the difference?
What about sizing? If I'm looking at 32" TV, why can't I find a 32" monitor?

I have a Visio 39" 1080, 120 htz smart that I was going to use but I'm thinking of leaving it in the room that its in.

If you had 300$ what would you buy?
I want to go with a 32" TV size, no smaller.

My 2 Pc are in the living room.
55" TV

32" BenQ monitor 1440P
27" 3D Acer monitor. 120hz

120hz with TV means The TV hardware make interpolation frames from a 60hz NTSC input. 120 240 480
For PAL it would be 100hz or 200 or 400 or 800 or 1600 for 50hz input. These extra frame generation add to input lag.

I am thinkin to make a nice HTPC for playing Rocksmith 2014 on my TV.
So it must be bit game capable. So I think of AMD APU the fastest they have.

I have also a upgrade for my other PC. Already put a 290x in it but want to go from Vista to W8.1


32" monitors are expensive. I think mine was in 500 Euro range in $ it could be 600 ish.

If you are playing Rocksmith - avoid HDMI / optical sound. The varying levels of lag get unbearable.

Sad as it sounds, I get the best performance with audio out via jackplug to amp, and video to thunderbolt>VGA adapter to TV.

HDMI either lags sound or audio on my Air, it wasn't too bad in Mountain Lion, it got a bit worse in Mavericks, and in Yosemite there is a second+ disparity between video and audio over HDMI, which doesn't exist using audio and VGA signal.

Strange, and indeed disappointing, times we live in.

I would go for the monitor. if its a BENQ you should have no problems I use them myself. good screens cant fault them at all.

If you use a TV as a computer/laptop display, check the settings on the telly to see if it has a 'PC' or 'Game/Gaming' display profile. Did that eventually on my 42" LG, and the picture improvement was remarkable - it evidently turns off all the wonderful 'processing' that we seemingly need and have to pay extra for.

Incidentally, the LG also had a video/audio synch control that could be varied if you were getting audio ahead/behind the picture.

TV each time. Played on 50 inch 1080P, 60Hz, 17ms input latency plasma over the weekend. Completely different experience.

You want to make sure it has lowish input latency and good black-levels and good shadow detail.

You may be able to pick up a cheap Panasonic TX-P50VT20...
