Not all TVs will look as good as a good monitor. Some TVs will.

For good-looking computer text on a TV you need support for something called “chroma 4:4:4”. Better TVs will support it but you might need to specifically enable it, while cheaper ones might not support it at all.

Some TVs do a lot of processing on the image which causes input lag and maybe does odd things to the colours. Enabling “game mode” or “PC mode” usually helps with this.
