Things to I would look for TV for PC gaming.
FreeSync/GSync compatible. 120Hz or higher. DisplayPort connection.

I use a 27inch, 2560x1440, 200Hz, GSync monitor. If I used a TV I would like something close.

I do this. Amazon Fire TV is my base monitor, and I switch between the tv apps when i’m in between activity.

It’s pretty dependent on having Internet to function, but its not completely disabled when wifi isn’t present. You can swap between HDMI slots easily enough so even having multiple devices connected is doable

Anything’s a monitor if you don’t care about fidelity.
Play WoW on your smart fridge, there’s no law against it.
