hi all i recently refurbishing my new place and thought about getting a 4k tv for the living room and a 4k monitor for my pc while looking for a new tv and monitor i notice monitors are way more pricey an example would be i could get a 40 inch size tv for £500 but then i see monitors that are £500 just for 28 inch size what is it that make pc monitors more pricey and is it worth the cost of buying or just buying a small 4k tv for my desk instead.

At that price range, the difference is typically some cash grab feature such as GSync, but without knowing specifics, it's hard to say. You always get more value buying a TV though. Input lag is down to 30 ms, which is really non existent, compared to even the fastest gaming monitors, which are down to 10 ms...
