 Oh, what's up internet? Nandyan ka pala, di kita nakita, daki nung monitor ko eh. Actually, hindi siya monitor, TV siya. Yung usual setup ko kasi, tatlong monitor, isang 27 inch, dalawang 24 inch, tapos siya isang 24 inch na ka-portrait mode. Na-isip ko, pwede gawa palitan lahat ng tatlong monitor na yun, tapos isang malaking TV lang gagamitin ko. TV SPC display, good idea ba yun? Let's find out. Pero yung una kung kailangan gawin for this experiment is to activate windows. Ang pangat kasi na watermark na yun for unactivated windows, tapos kung 49 inches yung TV ko, sobrang laki na watermark na yun. I've recently been playing Halo Master Chief Edition and kahit dun may windows watermark. Thanks Microsoft. Yung go-to natin provider for windows activation keys is CD-key offer and they have an ongoing Mother's Day sale now. Links to the Windows 10 activation key are in the video description. Go to the product page, add to cart. Atin-atin lang pero may discount code kami, HS20. Pop in the code, get the discount. Usual payment options, personally gamit ko PayPal dito. Once payment is made, you can access the code through your dashboard. Pop in the code, go to activate windows on your desktop and paste the code. Wala pang 5 minutes, finished. May legit, working CD-key ka na. If you need Microsoft Office, meronin sila at gabagana rin yung code namin to get the discount. Now that windows is activated, ano ba yung mga advantages to using a TV for a monitor? Yung una, kahit anong TV, pwede mo gamitin. Itong TV nga na to, 49 inches LG, 8 years old na to. May discoloration nga with the pixels in the center. They're too white, dino sila nagwabago ng kulay. TVs are also usually cheaper than monitors so you get a lot more screen space for your buck. Kung size lang habul mo, mas cost efficient yung TV. Pero ba bala, pang work lang to. For gaming, you really do want to still have a good monitor kasi kailangan mo nung fast refresh rate and high resolutions. Features which a lot of TVs still don't have. Using a TV as my primary display seemed like a good idea, pero mga bilis ko natuklasan na medyo bad idea pala siya. Una, mahirap makahanap ng puesto para sa TV. Yung mga computer spaces natin, usually naka-design yung for smaller monitors in mind. Pero kung di kaya makapasok nung malaking TV, baka ito ba tayo nag TV, diba? Nag monitor na lang sana tayo. I was able to finally make room for this 49 inches, pero hindi talaga siya practical. Plus, takot pa ako na bumagsak o makulog to kasi wala nang support dito sa likod. Kung big lang na sagito, or big lang na kalindol, bye-bye old TV. Pangalawa, 1080p yung resolution ng TV na to, which isn't enough screen real estate to have all of the windows that I need. Yung minimum na kailang ko, at least 3 windows. Browser, chat, and document. Kitang kita dito na sobrang squish na sila. You need at least 2K to have those kind of things on screen na workable na magagamit mo, na makita mo at the same time nandun silang lahat. 1080p just doesn't cut it. And yes, TVs now do of course have higher resolutions. 4K, 8K. Pero yung goal ko sana dito, gumamit ng Luma a cheaper budget alternative kung baga. Pero it just isn't cutting it. Di ko magamit yung screen like this. What did I learn from this low? Number one, super easy to connect a TV to a computer. Windows basically treats it like any other display. Number two, nung natakot ako na masyadang malapit yung screen sa muka ko. 49 inches is a lot of screen to have so close to my face. Ginamit ko talaga to as my primary display para makita ko kung viable option talaga siya. And pretty quickly, I found out na kaya naman na sasanay ka na sobrang lapit niya. After a certain point di ko nga na isip na masyadong malapit siya. Number three, it works great as a secondary monitor. Kaya kailangan ko pa lumingon para makita siya. Useful naman siya. And it's so useful, in fact, that I've kept it like this. So nakaapat na ako na displays kaya yun. Yung tatlong monitors ko, and then yung isong TV. The big space does allow you a certain freedom. It's nice to read your emails, your articles, your essays on it. Plus nag-agamit ko rin naman sa work. So puwede naman yung TV as a secondary display. Optimal setup ko sana, yung TV kasama pero nandito sa likod. So kita ko yung primary display ko, tapos liling nung lang sa taas, makita ko na yung TV. Unfortunately, not possible yet in my current setup. I do set up again the home office in the future. I'll really think about putting that as an option. TFW. And thank you to our top fans.
