had similar idea (4k lg tv, one of the last with netcast). what you might want to look out for when picking 4k tv as a monitor: - backlight pwm. tv is huge and covers most of your fov at monitor distances. pwm burns my eyes off, and it goes away only at ~100% - some funny sharpening that shows as halo aroud small text, but is not perceivable otherwise. annoying. if at all possible, test tv with your source before buying.
