I Used my 4K Smart TV As a Computer Monitor For A Year - HERE IS WHY IT IS A BAD IDEA

[@The144Workshop]

I've been using my 42" Bravia as a display for over five years now with no issues. 10-12 hours a day of use, 6-7 days a week. Full resolution.

With occasional use, it shouldn't be a problem.

your problem is you're within arms length is why you're having headaches etc. I have mine mounted on the wall in front of my bed with a lapboard set up so I'm a good 10 feet away (got a 55") as I use my computer attached to it to game with, You always want to have your tv in game mode on your computer with freesync enabled and has a special PC mode to for the input.

It's true I relatively sit closer to the display. But, that's mainly because I have to due to my works with editing video and motion graphics. If I sit far away, it's hard for me to work with the softwares I am using. 👍
