I like using my gaming monitor when it comes to gaming. But I have a friend who prefers to use his TV because of the larger screen, and it's even cheaper.
I still prefer the gaming monitor for its fast response time and the advance settings it comes with..
What about you?
 
I'm making use of my TV. It's big enough being a 55 inches television. I don't have any need to buy a separate monitor for my playing of video games.
 
I would prefer a curved monitor (as opposed to a 2 or 3 monitor setup) as I'm also a day trader so I could put it to use in two ways.
 
I recently got an LG tv that is really high end and great for gaming, bigger and does as well as any gaming monitor.

You are on track, my friend. I think a bunch of gamers resorted to using the TV for the wider screens. I like it too because it enhances my gaming experience and since I already have a TV, I don't need to buy a gaming monitor.

The bigger the display output, the better view for me when I'm playing video games. It's why I always go for the TV with bigger screen.

Yes, the big screen does matter a lot. It's the major reason why so many people do not like mobile games. They cannot provide that widescreen experience you would get with a TV.
 
I always consider input lag because the gaming monitors usually have lower input lag, and it makes competitive gaming interesting.

That's the major reason why so may gamers prefer the gaming monitor. The Input lag is a major crucial factor to consider, but when it comes to HDR support, I am giving it to TV.
 
I will always go for TV because of it's wider screen and the experience I got when I view everything needed to play the game. We are making use of our TV whenever we wants to play games.
 
For years I always used a TV for my gaming but since switching from a TV to a monitor in April, I have not looked back and very glad that I was able to upgrade from my TV.
 
I use my smart TV for gaming. I use a HDMI with my laptop too, and connect to my TV. I'm not a big fan of monitors because they're more limited compared to a good TV.

Most new tvs come with wireless broadcast as well, when someone doesn't want to deal with an HDMI.

Gaming monitors always seemed geared more towards playing video games, not to mention that a TV unless it was 32' or smaller would seem ridiculous.

I agree with you. Gaming monitors are made with the interest of the gamers in mind, they come with things like a shorter response time, higher refresh rate and lower input lag. Although, TVs have come a long way in terms of gaming but they are still not as good as monitors, especially for PC gaming.

I believe it is a good idea to use smart TV to play games. It's easy and saves money. So, it's not necessary to buy a new monitor. That is why it is a perfect choice for many gamers.
 
It depends..

PC - Gaming Monitor
Consoles - TV in 4K.
 
I also use a gaming monitor. The first thing that really makes a huge difference in gaming is the fast response time and the ability to tweak it further with the high-level settings. This I can't get in TV.

Gaming monitor is designed to provide better features that are specific to gaming needs. The ability to move quickly, adjust aspects are what you can't get with TV. Also, the display modes and a lower input lag make time for a much more responsive gaming experience
 
Since I did not own a gaming monitor before, I was just using my television. However, I understand that a gaming monitor is better, as it is specifically designed for a better gaming experience.
 
I am a freak of big screens when it comes to gaming. That is why I use my TV. I love to see every angle clearly, especially in horror games. Big screens for gaming just gives me a much more immersive experience.
 
Gaming monitors are made for gamers for all their games but the idea of using TV isn't that bad but gives a better experience while playing games. TV and monitor are good for gaming, choose the one you prefer.
 
I am a fan of gaming monitors. The input lag is low and has high refresh rates (like 144Hz or more). The high resolution graphics make playing FPS or racing games on it smoother.
 
My TV is always bigger than any gaming monitor I can ever be able to purchase. This is why I will always prefer to play video game on my TV that's 55 inches big.

Having a bigger TV means that you can always have a good time playing games on it. I like playing games on a bigger TV since it is much more interesting for me.

I use TV but gaming monitors are certainly better than TV screen

It's why I'll always go with a TV all the time especially with all the new smart and improved TV they are producing now. Smart HD TV are high end better than any gaming monitor you can find.
 
I have a smart TV and I like to use TV screen for gaming
 
I personally prefer to use a tv. They're cheaper than gaming monitors and they're bigger too. Of course you can always get a large monitor, heck you can have multiple ones but if you're playing console games you should go with a TV IMO.
 
Gaming monitor is better for fast gameplay because of higher refresh rates, lower input lag, and sharper text. A TV can be great for big-screen immersion, movies, and couch play, but monitors usually feel more responsive and precise for gaming.
