Sigh.... why i ignored the display is cause that is the one thing that applies to everyone. I am not also factoring in the cost of a display for a PC. Hell, I am even assuming that you can just as easily plug a PC into a standard HDTV if you don't want to spend more on a dedicated display and if your primary reason for getting the PC is to play games.

How is this biased? Can you play a PC without getting some form of display? neither can you play a console. I have eliminated the one thing that both of them absolutely needs. But somehow I am being biased?

Tha aside, I don't think you realize that you are making teh exact point I was making too. But keep talking about achieving your goals and your finances... can't even start to imagine where that came from.

It's disingenuous to ignore certain necessary factors to the expense of getting into HD gaming.  A 1080p monitor, is quite a bit cheaper than a 1080p TV, even moreso if you adjust for distance from TV/Monitor.

Nope. Its not. Cause you can also play consoles on those 1080p monitors just fine too. Unless you are trying to tell me you have never seen anyone playing a console game on a monitor before. In the very same way, and in an example beter suited to the point I was trying to make, I could just as easily say:

A 4K monitor or 1440p monitor costs way more than a 1080p tv or monitor. Cause I am assuming those 4k pics they are posting for comparison are running on 4k monitors right?

Anyways, lets not drag this out. It makes sense i  omiited displays. I was actually doing the PC set up a favor by doing so. I just ommitted the one thing that I will assume everyone has already at home before they even go out to buy a gamng platform.
