hi
i am getting a new tv and is it ok to hook up my pc to the tv
and doing artwork on it would rendering make image burn on the screen ?
hooking it up to a tv is it a good idea ? i just need to know if its right or wrong
looking at the LG - 50" Class - LED - UM6900PUA Series - 2160p - Smart - 4K UHD TV with HDR
of something betterthanks
Nothing wrong with it. I use a 36" Samsung TV , 47" Samsung TV and a 52" LG TV. Just plug in the HDMI cable and voila.
That's exactly what i have too. I have my pc hooked on my 50" Samsung tv not too far from me with a HDMI cable since my pc is in my living room.
Now it's all depend on what you want to do. Do you want to do your rendering/daz work on your tv screen ? Or do you want to have a way to play/display/listend to other thing on you tv screen while working on your render in daz ?
If it's the first option, i think you could just tell windows to "duplicate" your screen monitor output to your screen tv output. Like this, what happend on your monitor will also be replicated on your tv screen. Simple and will mess a little less your desktop configuration.
If it's the second option (Like me), then i would recommend to choose to "extend" your desktop. Like this, think of it like if your desktop is twice a wide as what you usualy have on your pc monitor. When you'll move your mouse (or drag anything) to your right of your screen, it'll dissapear from your pc monitor and show on your tv.
Personnaly, i use this so i can have my Daz studio/render workspace on my monitor, while having some video or stream playing on my tv at the same time. So when i have long render that take ours, i can still watch thing while still having an eye on my render in progress or my workspace.
A reminder though, depending on how strong you computer is, doing other thing that is asking a lot of your graphic card or pc memory may start to give him some lag issue. Especially if you are rendering/working on a very very very heavy scene with lot of object and shadow/lighing.
GEEZ.. why do you guys always have to give complicated answers to simple questions that only require simple answers?
If your TV is plugged into the North side of the house with 2 South facing windows in the spring, then you need to run the microwave for 1.6 seconds every hour. If your Bedroom mirror is on the west wall, and you have a small picture in the upper left corner, of a corn field from you childhood, and your 2nd cousins best friend is 3 years older than you, than you need to have at least a half a pot of coffee on while a black hole less that 300K LY away is eating a planet 200 times the mass of Jupiter.
If you have a nitrogen cooled robot that only operates at 83% efficiency during The Big Bang Theory reruns , then you could hard wire you cat into your stereo and play the meow mix theme on a loop until you see a rainbow unicorn dance across your lawn. lolNot sure what I did but, awhile ago I popped a TV by hooking my PC to it. I think I asked it to do more resolution than it could handle. No idea.
@littlepleasures the question was if they could use a tv as a monitor. The answer is yes. Not how powerful their GPU is or render times.Or how many objects are in a scnene. Thats all rig performance.
It has nothing to do with reading or be lazy.
Its like asking if I can put tint on my car windows and getting answers about how my engine performs.@littlepleasures Why thank you.. 🙂
I'm not trying to argue. But can you tell me where in your post you even answered the question:
i am getting a new tv and is it ok to hook up my pc to the tv
and doing artwork on it would rendering make image burn on the screen ?
hooking it up to a tv is it a good idea ? i just need to know if its right or wrongBecause all I saw in your reply was about PC performance.
I've been hooking up TV to PC for 20+ years, from CRT to LCD to plasma. The only burn-in I've ever had was with the UI of Civilization 4 on the plasma.
LG LED is a LCD screen. You won't have any burn-in or image retention. OLED is far better in picture quality but you "might" get burn-in. Regardless I plan on getting OLED and hook it up to PC as always in a year or two, just waiting for HDMI 2.1 to settle down.
