It’s a recently popular thing to use a tv as monitor.

- dathinab 3y agoif yesterday is since around 5+ years because for people mainly playing games but not being over obsessed with having the most expensive fastest hardware ever using a TV as screen has been popular for a very long time, like even when I was in 12grade it was already popular and that was well over 10 years ago
- raarts 3y agoYoutube is littered with videos about it. Has been for over 2 years.
- phkahler 3y ago>> It’s a recently popular thing to use a tv as monitor. I picked up a 55" curved 4K about 5 years ago for use as a monitor. Now I keep my desk in the living room, so I use it as a TV too (have to move the chair). Curved TV is kind of dumb, but huge curved "monitors" are awesome. You can't find curved TVs any more, and wide curved monitors don't have the height to double as a TV.
