Color CompressionĪnother factor to consider when using a TV as your computer monitor is color compression. The lower your lag time, the better it will look for you. So, when using a TV as your computer monitor, you want a lag time of less than 20 milliseconds. While this might not seem that significant, you might find this delay frustrating after a while. That means your TV might have a few milliseconds of delay every time you do something. Most new computer monitors have a very low input lag, while TVs do not. Input lag is the term used for the delay between the movement you make with your mouse and the time it takes for that movement to be displayed on your screen. So, while looking at a 15.6-inch monitor looks good from two feet away, it might not look so good on a 55-inch TV from a similar distance. While monitors need a higher pixel density because you are sitting so much closer to them.
Most TVs don’t have a high pixel density because you are usually sitting far enough away that it would be hard to tell. The lower this pixel density, the less sharp and clear the display will be.
For instance, a 15-inch laptop screen that has a resolution of 1080p will have a pixel density of 141ppi, whereas a 55-inch TV with the same 1080p resolution will have a much lower pixel density of 40ppi. You should also check the pixel density of your monitor and your TV.
