4K Video + Monitor and Computer Specs
megido-rev.M:
I'm cool with larger monitors. Paying more for TV subscriptions (i.e. cable) not so much.
LillyTown:
I don't pay a dime for TV service, I literally NEVER watch it. Last time I watched more than a sec(like in a store or at a friends) was months ago. Only video either through legitimate means, fansubs I DL or shit I outright *don't-pirate*. It just doesn't have anything to offer me. Even if I wanted to watch a TV show, I'm ok with either getting an HDTV rip or waiting for the inevitable Blu-ray release and getting a BDrip

i'd like a monitor rather than a TV, but at $4.5K cheapest not a chance.
LillyTown:
They are essentially the same thing minus the TV tuner, no? I could be wrong but I think it's just in common usage a monitor refers to something smaller, with finer 'image quality'(more flexibility in 'refresh rate' whatever that means for an LCD, finer dot-pitch due to size, higher brightness, better real-world contrast and such) and typically lacking a TV tuner. This isn't always the case either as I've seen a few 'monitors' with built in tuners. Seems there's no hard rule though the tuner helps and obviously what they're marketed as.... I tend to just call 'em monitors(as they're for 'monitoring') or screens... maybe 'electronic display' is the most ubiquitous term.
I'd love to have one as well but I've my sights set on a cool projector for now, all the media I wish to watch is in 1080p or lower resolution and while upscaling *can* make a more pleasing picture under the right circumstances, I'm after the most *accurate* picture possible.
kitamesume:
the TV's controller is different, although its not the case for every manufacturer but usually monitors does have a much sharper image than TVs.
you could just dismiss their difference as TVs are commercial models while monitors are professional models.
