Anyone here using a TV as a display for your PC? What brand? What do you think?

I have an LG C2 48in as my pc display. It seems that TVs offer better quality than monitors at this point. My TV is an OLED with a refresh rate of 120hz. Plays all my games fine and the image quality is outstanding. Do you guys use tvs for your display? What do you think about them? I am in no rush to get 240hz refresh rate because to my eyes, it's not a big difference. What are you looking forward to in upcoming new tech for displays?

Used a basic no-name 4K60 (43") tellie a while ago, ended up deciding I like faster panels and don't need all that size. I'll jump the gun to buy a 34" 5120x2160 display (160+ Hz) if these become a thing. 16:9 doesn't fit me all that much, residual brain damage prevents me from processing upper and lower pixels so I have about 1920x200 dead space going on if I use a standard 1080p monitor. 3840x400, in case of that TV.

My usual eye-to-display distance is 4 ft 1 in (125 cm) give or take a couple inches, this is how I use my 27" displays now. Can't afford extending that more than to 5 ft (152 cm) so these OLED TVs ain't my thing. Too huge.

I have an LG 65” C2 oled and I would never use it.

For my actual PC I use a Philips Evnia UW. I much prefer monitors over TVs; they just aren’t there for the response times and fidelity I want.

Not to mention I would never want apps and TV features for a monitor I use for my PC.

For the play station or switch the TV is fine. Though I will admit the onboard OS on the LG leaves much to be desired especially when connecting to off board audio sources.

I use a cheapo 50" LG UHD, I like it. Not the best, but you could do worse..

Even better now that I have glasses. 4K is 4K, not 480p
