Question Will using a tv as a monitor degrade GPU/CPU?

[bembridgescholars]

Hello, New to pc gaming here and I will be getting my pc in the future, but I won't have any monitors to go with it until some time later, so I wanted to know if it would be ok to use my 55-inch 4k tv as the monitor until I get the monitor?, and will it degrade the CPU or GPU of the computer in any way since it has to power the large display as the primary display?

Simple answer;
No, it won't degrade the system!

Is it 120Hz with VRR and HDMI2.1?
If so,you might wish to consider keeping it as a monitor.
What kind of hardware are we talking about?
Depending on the distance,1080p may or may not look amazing on such a relatively big screen.

IF it has VRR and you like the idea of 4K gaming and depending on what you play, monitor may not be required.
What model?

Well it is likely 60 herz then.
That means maximum 60fps shown.
You should just test it.
Regardless of if your PC shall be 4K capable or not , you might actually enjoy playing on such a relatively huge display.
And will have to decide eventually if you are fine with going to some likely much smaller display ,but with triple or more framerates support.
