Can I use a TV as a display?

1. Technical feasibility: interface and resolution are the key

Modern TVs and monitors are compatible at the interface level, and universal interfaces such as HDMI and Type-c can connect computers and TVs. Taking Cuhub smart devices as an example, its products support interface customization, which is consistent with the logic of mainstream TV interfaces. However, attention should be paid to resolution adaptation: although some TVs support 4K, the pixel density (PPI) is low, and close viewing may cause blurred text. It is recommended to choose models with high resolution and eye protection technology, such as the 4K ultra-high-definition screen of Cuhub smart conference all-in-one machine, with a 178° wide viewing angle, which is closer to professional display standards.

2. Applicable scenarios: the boundary between entertainment and office

Entertainment scenarios: The large-size screen of the TV has significant advantages, and with 4K picture quality and sound effects, it is suitable for immersive experiences such as watching movies and console games. The wireless screen projection function supported by Cuhub devices (such as synchronizing computer and mobile phone content to the large screen) is also applicable in home entertainment.

Office scenarios: It is only suitable for light office work (such as document processing), and professional design, code writing and other scenes with high precision requirements are not enough. Professional monitors have more advantages in color gamut, color accuracy and eye protection optimization. For example, the low blue light technology and high-precision touch of the Cuhub teaching all-in-one machine are more suitable for professional scenarios such as education.

3. Precautions for use: Optimize settings and external devices

Display settings: Switch the TV to "computer mode" or "game mode" to reduce picture delay; adjust the system scaling ratio (125%-150%) to improve text blur.

External devices: Choose a low-latency wireless keyboard and mouse, and improve the sound quality by connecting an external speaker through HDMI ARC or 3.5mm interface. If you need to switch between multiple systems, you can refer to the "Android/Windows dual system one-click switch" function of the Cuhub device, and achieve similar effects with an external mini host.

4. Professional advice: Choose on demand, taking into account scene adaptation

The core difference between TV and professional monitors lies in scene positioning: TV focuses on long-distance home audio and video, and monitors are for close-range efficient office work. If used occasionally and lightly, TV can be a temporary substitute; long-term professional needs still require dedicated equipment. Products such as the "mobile screen" launched by manufacturers such as Cuhub provide a compromise between the two by integrating touch and multi-scenario bracket design.

In summary, it is technically feasible to use a TV as a display, but the pros and cons must be weighed according to the usage scenario, and the core needs must be met first to maximize the value of the device.
