42 inch tv for gaming

Last response: in Video Games
Share

Hi, I will be building a new PC, and my dad wants me to game on my 42 inch tv instead of buying a new monitor. I will most likely be seating 1.75-2 metres away. My questions are:
1. Will this be a good choice? This will be a dual monitor set up and the 42 inch tv for gaming, 20 inch for chatting and browsing.
2. How will this affect fps? Any lag? I plan to play Crysis 3, Assassin's Creed 3 and I will mostly stream DotA2.

Here are my system specs just if anyone wants them.
i7 3770k
GTX 670
8GB RAM

Thanks in advance! :bounce:

I totally agreed with lostgamer_03 try to chick your T.V resolution if it full hd 1080P OR hd ready 720P . In any case your system should be good enough to play any game in maxed settings with no problems at all . More than that my pc is much older than yours and is doing good so far until it met FARCRY3 :) 

I suggest you get information about tvs before you purchase as not all are good for gaming (as monitors).
Some have too long input lag, others have bad black levels...

Personally im going to get a 50 inch plasma as my next monitor buy, as the 32 inch lcd will probably go to my grandma as a present.

im using a 40" toshiba lcd for my monitor at the moment, its ok for some games, but the scaling is bad on some FPS games, making it hard to read small print so naturally i bring the resolution to 720p instead of 1080.

eventually i want to move back to a monitor, i find it much easier to see plus TV's sometimes dont support proper resolutions and the OS has some issues detecting them and you need to force the resolution.

most newer tvs are fine for pc use though. its all preference.
