This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.

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 an LG oled as my TV but haven't dared buy one as a monitor as oled used to be so bad for burn in

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

The game kept checking. No skills found.
