I have been checking lots and lots of screens. I narrowed down my options to two of them:

and

http://www.samsung.com/it/consumer/pc-peripherals-print...

Originally, I wanted an ordinary PC monitor but when I saw this TV (the second link). It appealed to me a lot. I mean it has HDMI and USB support plus TV features. So, I can use it as a TV and a monitor whenever I want. Now my questions:

1. Do you think I should get the monitor or the TV. Keep in mind that the TV is 2ms response time while the monitor is 5ms?
2. Are there any disadvantages to using a LED TV? Does it overheat?
3. I have read on another thread that when you use a LED TV. The TV tends to give you top and bottom bars even on full HD videos. So, even on this full hd TV, I will not be able to have the full hd 1080p experience:

Btw, I am going to use Intel HD 4600 graphics on the screen.
4. Which is more durable a TV or a monitor?
5. Are all new Samsung screens susceptible to the issue I described here:

Any reply is appreciated. This will help me a lot in deciding what to get since I am on a tight budget and I cannot afford mistakes.

P.S. I am going to use the screen for gaming/everyday use.

Thanks for the reply. Sadly, those are the only two good screens available to me.
