Agreed; the images provided by HN don't all appear to be of the correct model, except https://azcd.harveynorman.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product/featu…
I was thinking the same.
If this is a 43" screen (https://azcd.harveynorman.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product/featu…) then the lady is a giant!
What's the difference between 43 inch monitor vs 43 inch tv?
TV has a TV tuner and usually better built in speakers.
Why do ppl pay 3 times for monitor?
Hmm? Is there a $199 43" Samsung TV?
TV is good for watching movies and playing games from a bit further away, while the monitor is optimised for long time web browsing, text reading, writing document or emailing etc
I've used a 32" TV as a monitor a few years ago, eventually gave up after a week, and get a proper monitor for everything other than watching movies on that TV
@superforever: You can. You just need to match the resolution to the size.
Number of pixels per inch of screen which will be a big factor in whether you experience eye strain when using a TV as a monitor.
A 32" TV would likely be 1080p (or 720p if you go back far enough). For a monitor, 32" 1080p is too low a resolution. You would need 1440p as a minimum.
@Sleepycat3: I am not sure, never try that big 4K monitor vs TV.
I have a feeling TV more design for movie, TV watching, they may not good with TEXT and Documents.
Just like old days, 1080p monitor still looks better than 1080p TV the same size
You just need to match the resolution to the size.
This really only applies to older TVs; it's also important to make sure the TV supports 4:4:4 chroma subsampling at 4K60.
Because they want 3 monitors?
What's the difference between 43 inch monitor vs 43 inch tv?
- Monitors can have DisplayPort inputs (this one doesn't) while no TVs have them.
- Monitors go to sleep when the PC goes to sleep and turn back on when woken up. TVs typically only go to sleep.
- Monitors don't have motion smoothing features as they add a lot of delay which would be unusable as a monitor. You can normally use a game mode on a TV though.
- Monitors will definitely support 4:4:4 chroma subsampling while old TVs may not.
- 4K monitors will definitely support 4K60 while old TVs may not.
Why Tizen OS? It's painful.
Would be much better value if it runs Android or Chrome OS
VA
I have the 32" version and it's very handy. Seldom used as a monitor but more of a portable streaming TV. If i want to remote to my PC, I can just grab this and use the handy RDP feature wirelessly, also comes with Samsung plus tv channels that doesn't need tv antenna. Only gripe is that the remote control that comes with it gets discharged quickly, I have to replace the battery every 1-2 weeks.
In before no DP
Has usb-c though
IS that better?
Way better
@Tuba: This has 2 HDMI and usb C for video, you can always buy DP to HDMI adapter if you really need DP
@johnyBgood: I was being facetious mostly, every monitor thread seems to revolve on it…
But I would assume if that solution was ideal, the issue wouldnt come up?? Gamers seem to love the DP
Are sure?
I received this monitor today and will be returning it. I am coming from another 43 inch monitor and thought I'd like the standalone smart features. But the actual display is terrible as a computer monitor.
Being a VA panel, text and fine lines are only sharp when viewing directly in front of the monitor, at 43 inch only the middle 1/3 portion of the monitor is sharp. Colour contrast and brightness is also quite low.
It's only really usable as a TV and with lousy speakers.
Hmm, that's a worry. I'm happy with my IPS 43" and thought I'd get another 43" for work. Didn't expect VA to be that bad. If only I could see it in person first. Pity there aren't IPS 43" monitors at that price.
I was planning on buying it but not so sure anymore… is it at least comparable to Dell s3221qs but bigger?

VA panel is like that but may because of 43" too big to view directly in front?

See if @mlakmlak can help, owner of 43"
Officeworks same price now
I just picked mine up today. Coming from an IPS 43" it's not that bad. Everything looks sharp enough to me at 125% scaling, not just the middle 1/3 like lxstr mentions above. I'm sitting about 94cm away from the screen.
The default brightness is fine in my office space. I'd probably want it brighter if I was I a very bright space though.
Colors don't pop as much IPS but I was expecting that.The viewing angles definitely aren't as good as IPS but since I'm sitting in front of it, it hasn't bothered me so far.
Not curved.
Viewing angle at the edges could be an issue given it's proximity to the person viewing.
