Windows 10: Is a 4K TV good as a monitor

A 4K 32" monitor would cost me over $400. I can pick up a 4K 42" LCD LED TV for $300.
Any reason I should not use the TV as monitor for photoshop and premier pro video editing?
I am using a GeForce GTX 1060 6gb GPU.

 

Why not buy a small 4K TV instead of a large 4K monitor?

People do it.

Rule of thumb: if the spacing between the TV and the eye is about equal to the diagonal of the TV, the pixels will just be resolved by someone with good vision.

I suggest not getting an OLED TV because of potental burn-in issues. The smallest OLED is 55", anyway - a bit large for a desktop monitor.

 

Why not buy a small 4K TV instead of a large 4K monitor?

This question has been dogging me for years.

I'm a desktop PC person. I like having a desk, a monitor, and these days a smaller or 'Mini' PC nearby. 3 years ago I bought an Asus Vivomini PC and paired it with $329 2K 25 inch monitor. Something like this --





But now I ask myself, self, what if you upgraded to a significantly bigger monitor? Not for gaming but really so I had the room to leave more apps open and accessible all the time? The industry wants you to buy something like this --





-- for $499. But I'm like, wait, I can get a 4K TV set with ten more inches for less than half that price ($229) --





-- AND get a TV in the same room for 'free'.

HERE'S THE QUESTION -- Why wouldn't someone just by the 4K TV instead? Is there a spec thing I'm not considering? Is it that if I sat 3 feet away from a 4K set it would look all pixelated?

 

4k TVs?

Hi,

What are good 4k TVs, not only for watching video but also playing games? I have read reviews that the Samsung UN55JU6500 55-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2015 Model)
is good -

Would love other suggestions in the same price range.

Thanks
