TVs are for viewing from a distance. If you sit too close to a TV it will look worse and you can see the individual color squares (pixels)

Monitors are for viewing at around an arms length. If you sit further away things may look too small or hard to see.

When you view a monitor from the correct distance it should take up more of your vision than when you view a TV from the correct distance.
