I've been using TVs for my work PC since I started having eye strain issues sitting too close to a typical desktop monitor. My first PC TV was a 32" LED TV that my family upgraded from. I started sitting about a 1.5meters away from then on. I eventually upgraded to a 42/44" (can't remember exact size) that my family also upgraded from that used to be the main living room TV. I then moved a bit further back. It was 2 years ago that I finally bought (instead of a "hand me down") my first main TV PC Setup which is a 55" while still retaining the same viewing/working distance. Main reason for the upgrade was color accuracy and the fringing you mentioned. I "lived" with it on the 42/44" TV for a few years until I upgraded my main work PC and was outputting around 1440p now. I used to only output to 1080p/1080i only. And no matter what I did to the settings, the old reliable 42/44" just wasn't able to correct. My work setup is now a 55" main TV monitor with a 2nd 32" inch TV hanging above it as a secondary extended display output. 32" is mainly for playing KZbin, Spotify Web Player or Netflix while I work. No issues with fringing on either.

It's similar I guess to me going into new workplaces and finding people not having drivers installed on their laptops so external displays don't work properly or sound doesn't go through or yeah screen mode isn't set to full it's set to like 16:9 or auto when their screens don't run at 16:9, had a few old projectors freeze up trying to display higher resolutions than it can support and people didn't know they could just extend instead of duplicate for perfect picture quality and allows them to do work while showing a video to the class etc. People and some tech is just frustrating lol

When it comes to the image edge being outside of the screen, you can often fix this by changing the input type to "PC", "Computer" or "Game". Every TV is different, but usually you will go to either the source option or the input settings. Find the input channel you are trying to use such as "HDMI 1" and there is probably an option to change the input type. It's the first thing I look for as it seems to address multiple issues relating to the colour and sharpness, but the most noticeable fix is that the image matches the screen size without having to resize anything manually or change the aspect ratio.

I've been gaming at 1440p @ 120 hz on my 55" Samsung Q70 which only cost about $800 a year ago, and it's a pretty fantastic experience. The main problem was really that the experience was not great out of the box because the TV was not developed with use as a PC monitor as the primary focus. But if you're willing to research and calibrate a bit, plenty of modern TV's are excellent PC monitors. That's especially true if cost is an issue and your other option is spending $2000+ almost purely to save the time of a bit of calibration. Just remember that a PC monitor is going to prevent you from streaming at 4K HDR from most services because of HDCP issues, so when you're using your TV for that purpose, use the built-in apps for things like Netflix and Amazon if your goal is the best picture quality available. On that note, you're going to have this same problem if you DO spend $2000 on a high end large gaming monitor......and those aren't going to necessarily have built-in streaming apps to avoid the issue like any modern smart TV does.

I did a 2 year stretch with a 55" 4K TV on a big kitchen table acting as a desk. So I could set the TV further back than a regular desk would allow. Now to cut a long story short I now use a monitor and I love my monitor. Playing racing games and some arcade games was amazing on a TV in front of your face but many more games were just awkward. Often the corners were too far away to see readouts and read text. Now I have a very curved monitor and I really appreciate the edges being close thanks to the curve. I think for me at least a 34" ultrawide is about as good as it gets, curved of course. You can have 4K zoomed in a bit with windows so text isn't so tiny. It works great, but I feel I'm at the limit of where I'm just moving my eyes. It might not seem like moving your head a little is a big deal but once you've moved it 1000 times, you'll see how old and even painful it can get.

Using the calculator I already sit right around the sweet spot, which is a metre and a half away from the display! I also use game mode and RGB out with full range. And my TV supports HDR so I use KMPlayer with madVR to play movies automatically at the correct refresh rate and pass HDR signal to the display.

I've been using a 4k 55" tv 30" from my face for years now. It's the same thing as 4 27" 1080p screens tiled but with no borders and one mount. You learn to look at quadrants so your eyes aren't overwhelmed.

I've been gaming on TV's for over a decade, granted I'm not doing super high refresh rate stuff or competitive online stuff, but I've never run into any issues with lag or color. I can only assume I've just gotten lucky with the two TVs I've used for it in that time as not having any of the bizarre features that would interfere. I started doing this because I've got an injured back and I can't sit in an upright chair at a desk without pain so having a reclining chair I can sit back at a distance has been a godsend.

I use a 43” 4K display on my desk, it’s amazing for juggling applications and looks great when I play easier to run games. And of course watching movies and shows are way better. First two days I had awful eye strain and headaches but it went away

First time when I tried to plug my laptop into my tv in order to play assassin creed black flag went horrible. Cropped display, no audio, weird artefacts and random disconnects. The second time I managed to fix the last 3 problems but took me some time to do so. After watching this video I know how to fix the cropped display problem now. Thanks!

I've been using a 55" 4K OLED from LG for my monitor for almost a year now and I love it. I run it at 1440p 120hz. I'm using a 42" deep kitchen island counter top for my desk because sitting any closer than that felt too close, but 42" feels pretty much perfect.

I have been using TVs happily as gaming monitors for years. They are important as I do a lot of work on them too and the extra real-estate is appreciated. My newest TV/Monitor runs at A TRUE 120hz 1440. Which honestly my GPU has difficulties keeping up with.

I have a Samsung NU8000 and use M&KB from my sofa. Works great I run older single-player games in 4k 60hz and newer ones 1440p 120hz. The next TV that I buy will be a 4k 120hz panel for sure.

I have my base M1 Mac Mini connected to my Vizio E60 E3 using an HDMI 2.1 Cable. The TV is in my 8' x 10' bedroom (Shared accommodations) and it sits on a dresser at the foot of my bed. The TV is set to computer mode withBlack detail set to high Active Full Array is on, Clear action off, I nave Signal Noise set to high, Reduce Block Noise Currently set to low (still experimenting with this setting), Game Low Latency off, Film Mode off, and Gamma set at 2.4 . I'm really enjoying this setup so far. I plan on upgrading to an OLED TV soon.

Coincidentally watching this on an older Vizio television (Model E320-B0) my PC is hooked up to. Even though I recently had to replace its LED backlighting strips after they burnt out, I haven't really had any image problems with it. I don't run games above 1080p 60FPS, I sit about 4ft away from the screen at maximum. It has some image settings for computer use and a low latency gaming mode. Chroma subsampling test I just did seems to show that it's displaying colors correcting with minimal to no fringe.

I sit ~ 2ft away from my 47" LG Quantum Dot display. (This blows away my Mega Ultra Wide 47" Samsung I have which has been collecting dust in the basement for a year) It can do 4k, but 1440p is what it should be for. It's perfect for me to where don't have to move my head/neck to see everything. Love it!

I have a cheap 42 inch TV as 4K monitor hooked up to my lenovo mini PC. Works without any issues, all enhancements turned off and verified(engineer here). Not color accurate as my calibrated Dell screen but it has wide color gamut, and overall everything looks great on it. My photos looks dope on 4K screen. And you can argue that you need 60 megapixel for photos, until you see 12 megapixel photos from a 5D classic on 4K TV. It's just flawless and can't tell apart from my 20 megapixel 6D or my 24 megapixel M50. The TV+PC is also used for retro gaming

My living room is on the larger end of small so I have my desk crammed in a corner and I run a 20ft hdmi cable to my TV. It's nice having the choice between a pc experience and a "console" experience. Sure it takes little bit of extra work fiddling with a few settings to get games up and running but I've got it down to the point where the most cumbersome thing I have to do is reset my Bluetooth driver that has suddenly decided to start crashing on me a week ago, but that's the cost I pay to hook my computer audio up to my stereo system
