The line between TV and PC Monitor is pretty thin. I’ve got my computer hooked up to my LG via HDMI and if there’s a difference between that and my office monitors, I can’t find it.
The difference is the LG TV has a computer already in it. Otherwise the panels are pretty similar.
But some types (and especially sizes) of panels are hard to find in “dumb” PC monitors and vice versa. You can (maybe) find a 42 inch TV, but I’m not aware of a 65 inch display without TV features, let alone any larger sizes.
Well, cool, then. It’s a genuine struggle to find a 32 inch TV of any decent quality these days.
But by far the most popular TV size today is 65 inch, which as far as I know isn’t available as a PC monitor at all, and even 32/40 inch PC monitors with a similar feature set can be as expensive or significantly more expensive than an equivalent-sized TV. That’s probably partially due to the focus on speed and responsiveness and partially due to the whole… you know, monetizing your data and selling ads thing.
I mean… good luck finding a 65 inch PC monitor.
That does seem like a bit of a downside.

I mean, 30-something is more than sufficient for my needs, and you can get monitors in that range.
