39" TV As A PC Monitor

[DirtTime]

We have a 39" FS TV we used in the bedroom. Since buying our home last July, we haven't even turned it on. So last week, I decided to get some use out of it and hooked it up to my PC. Taking a little getting used to seeing it was a WS. But looking at maps and watching videos are awesome.

We,'ve been set like that for a few years now. The one we did have on the Pc is now in the kitchen with the fire stick for when I'm canning,or doing big cooking jobs like batches of cookies or holiday meals. With WiFi we can sync in tablets to both the bigger TV..He went with a smaller monitor when he up graded the system,but watches Netflix on it a lot...I have fire sticks on both the others. Cam pics are crazy on them.

This is basically a foreign language to me. I need subtitles.

And just what sub-titles do you need?

Not related, but just got a new 4k upscaling 55" TV and blu-ray player, both with USB ports. Can't wait to see how the 1st trail cam videos play on new s/u! Anyone had experience with this? Do you lose resolution? Sorry, got off track!

If it's not related, then why bother posting on this thread?

I check my cam cards on my 55" TV with a USB SD card reader. It looks ok.

Definitely works and it is cheap. A few issues I noticed while doing it:

1) TVs start much slower than dedicated PC monitors
2) Tend to have lower refresh rates

But yeah they can definitely work
