Gaming on a TV? Wouldn’t like that low refresh rate personally

My gaming PC uses an LG C2 OLED. 120Hz, 4K, HDR, FreeSync. At the time, gaming monitors with competitive specs were all sold out anyway or way more money.
That said, I don’t connect any TV to Wi-Fi directly, hate all that “smart” crap. The smart TV apps usually all suck compared to just casting from other devices to a compatible cast device. For example I just cast from my phone to Chromecast as my primary method of controlling my TV and consuming media on it.

Yeah, tried to play Dead By Daylight that way and it basically made skill checks impossible.

Sounds like a skill issue

The game kept checking. No skills found.

144Hz TVs are a thing and common. I’m using a 65" 144Hz 4K OLED right now.
Modern TVs are excellent gaming monitors, and they’re much cheaper than an equivalent PC monitor. Especially LG OLEDs, since they are built with gaming in mind. Input lag is a thing of the past.

What’s the burn in like on the oled? I have that LG as my TV but haven’t dared buy one as a monitor as oled used to be so bad for burn in

You’re thinking of plasma TVs from like 12 years ago.

I’ve seen burn in on early oled panels which is why I’d never used them in this way, but seems they have improved a lot.

Here’s what my LG C1 panel looks like after three years of heavy use (8+ hrs/day), used exclusively as a monitor. Primary tasks include gaming, watching YouTube in a window, and full-screen music production and video editing.
I’ve disabled the burn-in protection in the service menu (TPC & GSR) because they dim the screen too much and make text difficult to read. The only preventive measures I take are autohiding the taskbar and setting the wallpaper to randomly cycle every 30 minutes. I consider burn-in a non issue.

Thanks that’s really helpful, I have to view large technical drawings and been wanting to replace my multi monitor setup with an oled for media too but was concerned having static images on it for hours at a time.
I think I’ll give it a go.
