A 43" UHD TV would have the same dpi as a 21.5" FHD monitor, so I guess the viewing distance should be about the same for both, if that helps put things into perspective. I'm assuming you don't intend to use scaling.
An important thing to keep in mind is there are actual computer monitors out there that match those specs and cost about the same as a comparable TV. If you don't intend to ever use it as an actual TV, that would probably be a slightly better choice as a TV might have unwanted picture optimizations or force you to use a remote to turn it on/switch inputs etc.
- jfim 7y agoMonitors will also have PC inputs (DisplayPort, HDMI, VGA), unlike inexpensive 43 inch TVs.
- snazz 7y agoEvery TV has HDMI nowadays. VGA is pretty common on older HDTVs. I’ve seen Mini DP on a nicer recent one too.
- jfim 7y agoDisplayPort is uncommon enough on 4k TVs that none of the 4k TVs reviewed on rtings have DisplayPort inputs[0]. In contrast, the several years old 43 inch monitor I'm using has two DisplayPort ports. [0] https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/table/23958 https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/table/23958
