Monitors are designed to go into power saver mode quickly without an input and turn on immediately with an input.  Typically nobody cares about the image processing delays with a tv because they are playing a set video from start to finish and a half a second of lag before starting the stream is ok.  Monitors are designed for rapid processing and switching tasks immediately as they are part of the interface to the computer.  If those 2 features don’t matter to you then a tv is fine as a monitor.
