PC monitors and TVs are close relatives. TVs usually have more advanced image processing capabilities than monitors and come equipped with tuners, and they"re usually bigger. TVs offer a PC Mode option, which removes the extra image processing and ensures the lowest possible input lag. The most important thing to consider when choosing a TV for PC monitor usage is the TV"s ability to display proper chroma 4:4:4 for clear text. You"ll likely want to get a TV with a wide viewing angle so the image remains accurate at the edges if you sit close.

We"ve bought and tested more than 365 TVs under the latest test bench, and here are our recommendations for the best TVs to use as a PC monitor. See our picks for the best TVs, the best LED TVs, and the best HDR TVs.

The best TV to use as a monitor that we"ve tested is the Samsung QN90B QLED. It"s a high-end TV that"s available in a wide range of sizes, so you"re sure to find something that meets your needs. It delivers a fantastic desktop experience, with support for HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on all four HDMI ports, so you can enjoy 4k @ 120Hz support while still getting clear text with full chroma 4:4:4 support. It has a wide viewing angle, so the sides of the screen remain uniform if you"re sitting up close, and it has decent gray uniformity, but you"ll see some patchiness in large areas of uniform color.

It has fantastic low input lag, as good as most gaming monitors when it"s running at 120Hz, ensuring a smooth desktop experience. It also has a fast response time, so there"s very little blur behind fast-moving objects. Glare isn"t an issue thanks to its superb reflection handling and high peak brightness, so even if you"re in a very bright room, you won"t have any problems seeing the screen or cutting out glare.

The best upper mid-range TV monitor we"ve tested is the Samsung QN85A QLED. It"s amazing to use as a PC monitor because it has a wide viewing angle, which ensures that the sides of the screen remain consistent if you sit close. There are no issues using it in a bright room since it easily gets bright enough to fight glare, and the reflection handling is remarkable. It displays chroma 4:4:4 properly with 4k resolutions, which is essential for clear text from a PC.

The best TV for pc monitor use in the mid-range category we"ve tested is the Hisense U8G. It"s a great TV for use with a PC. It has low input lag and a fast response time, resulting in clear motion and a responsive desktop experience, with no noticeable delay between your movements with your mouse and the cursor moving on-screen. It has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, allowing it to display proper text with full chroma 4:4:4 support, even with 4k @ 120Hz signals, meaning you can enjoy a fast refresh rate and a high-resolution screen.

The best tv for computer monitor use in the budget category we"ve tested is the Hisense A6H. It"s a great TV for use as a PC monitor, with a wide viewing angle, ensuring the sides of the screen remain uniform when you"re sitting up close. It also has incredibly low input lag, so your mouse movements feel smooth and responsive. It doesn"t support HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, but it displays chroma 4:4:4 properly with 4k @ 60Hz signals, which is essential for clear text from a PC.

If you prefer something smaller, the best small budget TV to use as a monitor is the Sony KD-43X80J. Although we tested the 55-inch model, the results are also valid for the 43-inch variant. The smaller size results in a higher pixel density, which in turn increases the sharpness of the screen and results in cleaner text.

Restructured the article; added the Samsung QN90B QLED as the "Best TV", the Hisense U8G as the "Best Mid-Range", and the Hisense A6H as the "Best Budget".

Restructured article to reflect user needs; renamed the Samsung QN85A as the "Best TV" and made the LG UP8000 as the "Best Budget TV"; updated Notable Mentions based on changes.

Added the Samsung QN85A QLED as the "Best LED TV" and moved the Samsung Q80/Q80A QLED to "Cheaper Alternative"; moved the Hisense U8G to Notable Mentions because it doesn"t have wide viewing angles.

Our recommendations above are what we think are currently the best TVs to use as a PC monitor for most people in each price range. We factor in the price (a cheaper TV wins over a pricier one if the difference isn"t worth it), feedback from our visitors, and availability (no TVs that are difficult to find or almost out of stock everywhere).

If you would like to do the work of choosing yourself, here is the list of all our TV reviews. Be careful not to get too caught up in the details. While no TV is perfect, most TVs are great enough to please almost everyone, and the differences are often not noticeable unless you really look for them.

Even though some say the picture quality of an LED TV is better, there is no straight answer for which has better picture quality since both TVs use the same kind of screen. For instance, a higher-end LCD TV can have a better quality than a low-end LED TV, but if you look at high-end models of either TV, the picture quality will be comparable.

RGB Dynamic LEDs show truer blacks and whites and thus get higher dynamic contrast ratio (which is desirable in a TV), at the cost of less detail in small bright objects on a dark background (such as star fields)

LED TVs use energy-efficient light emitting diodes (LED) for backlighting. These consume less power than cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) used in traditional LCD televisions. Power savings are typically 20-30%.

Flat Screen LCDs, about an inch or two thick are more expensive, but also more popular because of their sleek look and the flexible options of standing on a surface or mounting on a wall.

Front projection LCDs or projectors, which project an image onto the front of the screen. The TV itself is just a box installed anywhere in a room, which projects the image onto a flat screen hung on the wall as large as 300 inches.

Rear projection LCDs, where the image is sent from the rear of the TV to the screen in front. Rear projection LCDs are wide, heavy and only available in large sizes (60" and up).
