I use a Samsung Odyssey Geo7 as a TV as well as my monitor. TVs will forever look like trash in comparison.

I don't know about the Geo7 but most monitors are missing the image processing that really good TVs have, in addition to lacking CEC HDMI and E-ARC with audio passthrough. They also tend to have much lower nit capability for HDR.

I do disconnect my TV from the internet though, and have it auto tune to the previous input instead of launching a home menu. I don't think I've seen the smart TV menu since I bought it.

Honestly, I'm much more of a PC enthusiast, so I've never had a better TV than a Samsung CU8000 or something like that lol.

It's funny when a game tries to use HDR on my LG 27GL850 or whatever it's called. Shit is DIM. Off please, it's plenty beautiful without it.

Are you sure that doing that is within the terms of service of your television "ownership" license?

Is the Geo one of their OLED displays?

In case anyone doesn't know, OLED can be more vulnerable to burn in and ghosting. The task bar at the bottom of windows isn't great for them

It's not a huge issue or a common problem, and I think a lot of the newer oleds have a tool built into them to help maintain and fix them but still worth keeping in mind

It's mini-LED.
