what is different between TV's 120/240hz and Monitor's 144hz?

[dgothi]

I have sony xbr55x850b TV @ 120hz. Is okay to uncapping FPS more than 60 to run PC gaming with sony xbr55x850b TV?

My PC specs:
i5-4690k
Geforce 970 4GB
Trident X 16GB DDR3-2400
3TB seagate HDD
512GB SSD disk (OS only)
PSU seasonic 750 watts

What's different between Monitor's 144hz and TV's 120hz/240hz?

Thank you

TV's only accept an input maximum of 60Hz (excluding 3D). The extra frames are interpolated by software to produce 120/240 Hz. This also causes extra input lag.

A monitor will accept a true 144Hz and have much lower lag

Interesting... Make sense! which monitor do you recommend for 1440p or 4k (future proof?) monitor with 144hz?

Thank again!

Take a look at this monitor: https://www.amazon.com/VG248QE-1920x1080-144Hz-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B00B2HH7G0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480549712&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+3d I know it's not a 1440p panel but 1080p is more than enough for gaming. I have three of these myself and the 144hz refresh rate is absolutely amazing for competitive gaming or all gaming in general. A single GTX 970 would not be able to push 4k at a playable framerate, so unless you're planning on upgrading your gpu or go SLI, I would stay away from 4k monitors. Hope this helps

This one You send a link. Asus monitor is look good! yes, 1080p is enough for most games for sure. I agree. Yeah, Geforce 970 not able to run 4k lol. 1080p is fine with me. However, I plan to get a new PC soon since my son want my PC lol.
