Part 1: Why use 4K TV as computer monitor

First of all, one question is needed to be clear that you can use 4K TV as the computer monitor alternative. Next, why can a 4K TV be used a computer monitor? Just as mentioned above, more features between 4K TVs and monitors are overlapped. To some extent, 4K TV is a basically giant monitor. The first reason why to choose a 4K TV as a computer monitor lies in that 4K TV is more affordable than a monitor. For example, a monitor with 27/28 inches usually may cost $200 to $300 and a 40-inch model may cost $500, while a 4K TV with 32 to 45 inches only cost about $200 and not more than $300. That is clear to say that you can cost less money to enjoy larger screen.

Secondly, most 4K TVs are HDR-compatible. That is to say HDR allows for more colors than typical screen setups which can bring a more range between the darkest and brightest parts of an image. Compared with the traditional computer monitor, the 4K TV with HDR compatibility is much brighter and darker.

Thirdly, you can freely adjust your own preference on the color and screen resolution settings. But for a computer monitor, you can only have the fixed setting choices.

However, the selection of the appropriate size of 4K TVs depends on your factors that evolved in your environment. For example, where do you want to put the 4K TV as the computer monitor? If you only would like to put it on your computer table, then 27 or 28 inches will be enough. If you want to plate it on your living room for the usage of a family TV, then bigger will be better.
