You definitely can use an HDTV as your PC’s display, though, and your television can also work in a pinch if you suddenly need a second screen. There’s a reason dirt-cheap 32-inch HDTVs aren’t flying off the shelves to be used as budget-friendly jumbo screens. In fact, it’s likely less attractive, convenient, and usable than you think (not to mention, probably not that cheap). While you can use a TV as a computer monitor in most cases, that doesn’t mean it’s the best option. At the end of the day, isn’t an HDTV just a giant, living-room-oriented computer monitor? You’ve probably already got a big screen in your house, though-a TV.
Think of all the multi-tasking and immersive gaming you could manage if you had a 50- or 60-inch monitor instead of a standard 24-inch monitor! But you’ve probably noticed that as monitors get bigger, they also tend to get prohibitively expensive.
You’re not the first person who’s wondered what it would be like to have a giant desktop monitor.
