Will it harm my eyes if I use a 40 inch LCD TV as a PC monitor?
Yes, using your 40 inch Television from 6 inches away will likely lead to headaches and or neck strain ...... ohh, you didn't say six inches?... Ohh, you mean sitting back at a reasonable distance from the screen to be able to see the entire picture comfortably? Then, umm, no ... why would ... I don't understand the question ... why would someone ask this question? If it's "ok" to view it as a TV, what in the world could possibly be different when you connect it to a different image source ... the screen will not change how it emits photons towards you, so you will not be effected in any different manner. The only issue you may experience is resolution of the computer on that sized screen, and if it will be comfortable to see the details of text and the like at such a size.
Is it possible to use a 43 inch HDTV as my computer monitor?
I've answered this on Quora before, and you could search for the answer before asking. im pasting in the answer I provided before:I assume that you can plug in the hdmi cable and it will work. You’ll need a computer with a graphic card which has an hdmi output of 4K30 or, preferably, 4K60 RGB.However…Televisions are designed to be viewable at distances of six to twenty feet. Thus, they have much brighter backlights than PC monitors and if you turn the brightness way down you won't get the full image range. The panel design is just different, and staring at text on a TV that's two or three feet away can (will) cause eye fatigue.Most TV’s internally process video using the YUV (or YCbCr) color format, not RGB. This conversion causes an annoying degradation which you cannot see in video (because video is inherently YUV) but can be very noticeable on a TV screen when displaying computer text.TV’s can be great as secondary displays for PC video, photo and audio editing, game play, as well as for presentations, but they are not good as general-purpose monitor replacements.

Does anyone use a 32 inch TV as a monitor?
Yes, I have used 26″, 32″, 40″ and now a 52″ as a computer monitor at various times and places. None exclusively for that purpose though.5 key things:Use a digital connection like DVI/HDMI not the analog VGA.Sit at the proper distance, IE about 1.5x the diagonal size away for a 1920x1080 resolution panel depending on your visual acuity. Doubling the display resolution halves the viewing distance, so if you get a UHD (3840x2160) panel sit about .75x the diagonal size away. This is also true when using the TV as a TV.Turn off overscan/turn on 1:1 pixel mapping if possible. Most flat panel TVs intentionally do digital emulated overscan by scaling the image resolution up a couple percent then cropping some pixels off of all 4 edges. Example: it scales 1920x1080 up to say 1984x1116 then crops 32 pixels off of the left and right edges and 18 off of top and bottom so that it fits the panel again. This reduces the image quality and crops off things like the Windows taskbar. Some cheaper models have no way to turn overscan off hence are unsuitable for PC monitor use, and IMO shouldn't exist at all.Set the display resolution to match the panel native resolution.Make sure the PC is sending the video as YCC not RGB. Not all display adapter drivers support this.
Pc to Tv using VGA Problem? 'mode not supported'?
The PC is outputting a refresh rate or resolution which isn't supported by the Samsung. Set the resolution to 1280x720 or 1366x768, and the refresh rate to 30, 50 or 60. Then try connecting it again to the television. Chances are your laptop was already using one of these lower resolutions so it connected without issue.
Can I use a computer monitor as a TV screen, or is vice versa better? I can only afford one so it has to be multipurpose for home office and entertainment.
The 4K TVs seem to do a good job as a monitor. Older flat screens seem to have issues with overscan, so the image does not fit well. So if you're purchasing a new 4K TV no matter what size, they do seem to work fine. If it's for VGA then you may need to get an adaptor.Too large a TV is actually worse because you have to sit back to use it effectively. But if you want comfort and a large picture, there is no reason you cannot use a projector.I put my laptop onto my 50 inch 4K tv set and the image is beautiful, but if I sit too close I find my head turning to take in the whole image. Compared to my old monitors the image is even better. No flicker at all. I would go with the TV if the price is about the same. Depends. I have seen 26-inch monitors, that are about the same price as the 4K 26 inch TV.
How come a 24 inch computer monitor is much cheaper than a 30 inch monitor, but has the same price level as a 50 inch TV?
The difference between a TV and a monitor is that the television is set up to receive over-the-air broadcast signals and will probably have inputs that work with your cable or satellite provider and devices like game consoles and DVD players. A monitor is specifically designed to work with a computer. Also, on a television your screen may be bigger, but the resolution may not increase. On a 32 inch TV, certain things may not look legible. Large format monitors offer more resolution and what you see on the screen will be easier to read.But monitors are generally more expensive, you can get some sweet deals on large TVs if you you shop around. One question I would ask is what you plan to use your large monitor for most often. Graphics cards can sometimes have issues with HDTVs, so if you are using it for gaming or anything that requires a good graphics card, you’ll probably want a monitor.
Is Full HD(1080p) required for a 32 inch tv?
On that size screen, 720p is fine for gaming or anything else, with one exception: if you use the TV as a computer monitor, small text fonts would look better on a 1080p display. Other than that, no problem. ============ Followup: as a matter of courtesy, I never "thumbs down" someone else's answer, but Grumpy Mac's response needs correcting. He has offered the North American definition of "HD Ready," which is not the same as is commonly used in Europe. The short simplified version: in Europe, "HD Ready" refers to a 720p display, and "Full HD" is 1080p. See the link for a more detailed explanation.
Is it harmful for my eyes if I use my 26-inch LCD TV as an extended monitor?
Harmful, not sure but it would definitely wont be comfortable. Since you'll sit equi distance from both the monitors. Either one would be too close or other would be too far. Try to use similar sized monitors. Otherwise place bigger monitor lil farther from your eyes than smaller one. Ideal distance is 1.5 times the size of monitor (in most of cases).
