To setup this TV as a computer monitor, it is a must to change the input to PC. That should get rid of lag and make things optimal for PC use. Follow the below link to adjust advanced settings.

I can weigh in on this. I've used a Samsung 40" 4K TV as my primary PC monitor for over 3 years until recently where upon I switched to a UW Lenovo Y44W-10 for my primary display.

Pros:
-4K res
-HDR
-Cheap!
-Lots of space for productivity work! I divided my work in to 4 quadrants on my primary display for daily usage.
-High PPI / per $
-Did I mention they are cheap? Got mine back in 2017 @ Costco for $289.

Cons:
-Even with Game Mode, input lag will be higher than most PC monitors (esp gaming ones). It is noticeable in FPS gaming, but you do get "used" to it. I'm not a big online multi-player type, so this didn't bother me much.
-GSync/Freesync, unless your shelling out $$$ for LG OLED, you won't get VRR or GSync/Freesync2 features on a TV.
-Refresh rate, You will be capped at 60 Hz all day/er' day.
-Ghosting, I got used to it for my gaming and especially during productivity work. But having now moved to a 144 Hz display. Wow, just wow. It's night and day.
-Sleep mode, TVs are NOT equipped/aware of display input re-activity (obviously by design). You will always be dependent upon the physical power button or remote to turn it back on if you ever sleep your display or computer.

Hope this helps anyone considering using a TV as a primary monitor!
Sort of. This monitor uses PWM to give the illusion of dimming. This is done with constant flickering which will put strain on your eyes when viewed for extended period of time (eg. office work). For basic short term use, it is probably fine.
Great TV. I have the 55" and 43". Couldn't be happier. I spent $55 more via Amazon 1.5 months ago on the 43".

I love the Magic Remote which allows you to use the remote as a pointer. Super cool feature. Mix it with Screen Airplay from my Mac. Really great investment.

yes

Also of note: these are IPS panels (with the exception of the 50" being a VA panel, which is more in line with most TVs)

You can take up a lot of time picking apart details with everything. It's perfect for procrastinating.

thanks for mentioning this. Have the 49" one that I was going to exchange for a different size. Apparently the 49" specifically has RGBW, while all the others are RGB. More of an issue when sitting near and trying to read smaller text. Might look elsewhere now

read the rtings.com linked earlier -- it should be good for PC gaming.

I was wondering too if anyone uses this for Xbox gaming? I'm looking for a 43" set for my kid to game on via xbox and some netflix streaming, etc. I see a lot of talk about the 4 series TCL Roku tv's as being decent.

Any recommendations for something 43" or maybe 40" to use for gaming and streaming?

Thanks,

-Guru

For gaming (PC and Xbox) is fine. You tend to sit farther away from your monitor and so it is not as much of a strain on your eyes. I would say for people who want a monitor to work home, this would probably not be a good monitor.
