TVs are not very good displays for computers. You have to go through a bunch of settings to turn off as much image processing as possible. Even then, the latency will still be higher than a gaming monitor. You have to disable overscan, which always seems to be on by default even though it's only useful for CRTs and makes absolutely no sense for a digital display with digital signals. Also, I've never had a single TV that will actually go into standby when commanded. It will just stay on with a no signal message when the computer turns off the output.
Mine doesn't have any of those problems. The only thing I had to do was ensure the input selection was set to PC.
But then I'm using it 90% to stream stuff that is web only and some occasional gaming with the bonus of being able to fill out forms, Google and do light note taking without getting a different device. My alternatives would be needing a laptop or tablet along with some streaming device.
Yeah most TV's I've seen either have a PC setting, or have a game mode that just turns everything off.
"Monitors" are smaller.
And the minimum cost of entry to anything reasonably sized is double to triple. Changing some settings is well worth it.
