That’s what I’m doing rn

It works but TVs are designed for couch viewing they’re too large to view them from close distance on a desktop, but if you’re going to game more than 2 feet away from screen then it’s fine.

This.

U can use it for chill games etc but refresh rate and response/input lag time are critical if you actually want to play anything on a competitive space.

This, except some newer TVs have gaming modes that decrease the latency. But still the screen is too large.

OP, I'd recommend a nice 24-32" monitor.
