So is a TV an interesting alternative to a monitor?

They have been tempting ever since HD came in, but ever more so now
they're 4k. But there's a bunch of things to consider when you're using
it for text from two feet away that don't matter with movies at ten
feet.

Jaimie covered most of them, but also:

Cheap TVs can have nasty scalers with lots of lag.
This can be annoying for scrolling and for gamers.

Check the controls. You may find you can't turn it on without the remote
control. It may be annoying to change input.

It probably doesn't have VGA or Displayport. Some machines may only be able
to output 4K on DP, not on HDMI.

Check how low the brightness goes. TVs viewed from a distance are often too
bright close up.

Make sure you have a high speed HDMI cable:
