Difference between TV and monitor

In particular, the existence of HDMI high-definition cables can now be used to link TVs with computers, integrate TV and PCs, connect monitors to TV set-top boxes, and integrate computer TVs. Now that displays are equipped with audio equipment, it is even more difficult to select them. Now.

So what's the difference between a TV and a monitor? Let's compare LCD TVs and LCDs.

TV: The TV basically uses two kinds of panels. TVs below 26 inches basically use tn panels, but TVs over 26 inches basically use va panels.

Monitors: Basically monitors use tn panels.

Tn panel; small pixel, delicate picture, easier to achieve high resolution, short response time, can achieve 2 mm response time, cost advantages. However, the relative angle of view is small, and only the color and the basic picture can be guaranteed when viewed from the side.

Va panel; wide color range, wide viewing angle, but the response time is a little longer, it takes 4-6 milliseconds; pixels are large, see the document to play the game, there is a strong sense of grainy, rough screen.

TV: The TV circuit is more complex than the display. In addition to optimizing the picture, it tends to stabilize the TV signal and reduce noise.

Display: The display's circuitry is relatively simple and tends to display the computer's output signal in real time.

With the same size and resolution: In the following 26 inches, the television and the display of the gap is not big, because the small size of the TV is also used tn panel; and in more than 26 inches, the price of the TV will be more High, in addition to the higher cost of circuits, etc., mainly the TV uses a higher-cost VA panel.

TV: Most of the current basic TV interface, TV RF, AV interface, color interface, VGA, HDMI, and even a few TV USB interfaces, can achieve the streaming video download function of the computer, only DVI, The DisplayPort interface rarely appears on the TV.

Monitor: The interface of the monitor is basically the same as the computer. The mainstream is VGA, HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort.

TV: Basically, the TV's own audio processing circuit, several classes have surround sound, and even more advanced sound effects;

Monitors: There are now a few monitors with stereos, or speakers, which can only satisfy the need for vocalization.

TV: The TV is the first to use dynamic contrast, the IC chip optimizes the dynamic picture, enhances the sharpness of the dynamic picture, the picture continuity is relatively strong when watching movies, television, games, etc., but because the TV screen is relatively Relatively large, the refresh rate is relatively low, so there will be more serious smearing effects in the game.

Monitors: The early monitors did not have dynamic optimization. Although high-end displays have been added with dynamic optimization, the effect is not satisfactory. The coherence of the screen is not strong when watching TV movies. It is particularly noticeable when watching high-efficiency movies, but due to refresh The rate is relatively high, the screen resolution is high, and the size is relatively small. Therefore, when the game is performed, there is no influence of smearing.

TV: As the brightness of the TV is relatively high, affecting the color gradation, for example, the gray scale is only 16-255, a large color distortion will appear on the static screen display, and the pixel is relatively large, so the static image is displayed. , Especially when displaying documents, the rough feeling is stronger.

Display: Because the pixel is small, the brightness is low, and the color gamut is complete. Therefore, when displaying a static image, it is relatively delicate and realistic.

In theory, the screen is large and the brightness is high. The amount of radiation to the outside is greater, but in reality the amount of radiation that people receive from television sets and displays is not exactly the same.

Since the radiation is limited by distance and the attenuation is serious, the amount of radiation outside the basic 3m can be ignored, so people are relatively exposed to more radiation from the display.

Actually, whether it is using a TV as a display or a monitor as a TV is feasible, but the different effects will produce different results.

In general, televisions are used as monitors, so the effect of moving pictures will be best. For example, watching TV movies is the best, and playing games feels relatively close to each other. There are obvious smears and delays. If it is to deal with documents, art, it is not recommended to use, especially the art class, will definitely make people want to die. In the use of distance requirements, the TV is suitable for long-distance use, long-distance use of the TV, visual impairment will be very obvious.

The monitor as a TV set, although feasible, but there are many gaps in the viewing effect, although the picture is realistic and delicate, but the coherence is not clear, the sound is not good, and long distance or multi-view, the effect is even worse. In addition to the lack of noise reduction processing on the monitor, when the TV is broadcasted, there will be more obvious noises, unstable pictures, etc.

In fact, whether it is a TV as a display or a display as a TV, there are many advantages compared to a pure TV or a display.

In the living room, the TV is used as a monitor, so you can use the computer to enjoy the massive resources on the Internet. High-effect games also have a good experience and are suitable for sharing by multiple people.

The lack of space, the monitor as a TV, but also with the help of set-top box external audio, enjoy cable TV's high-definition movies, but relatively speaking, to the game, the computer staff as excellent.
