Why buy computer monitors? Why not just buy a flat screen TV? Much cheaper

I once bought a big screen TV to use as a computer monitor a while ago...it felt like sitting in the front row of a movie theatre...and the text and photos and colors were all rather blurry or fuzzy or hazy
...Everything looks way better on an actual computer monitor, rather than displayed on a TV.
well im sure it had a reason. and that's what it is !! lol
I use two of these as my monitors:

They have a "pixel for pixel" mode for computer use. Perfect for me.

try 4k tv
Here is cheap 4k tv compared to 1080P, for trading 30hz is fine. My next test is 2x 4k tv running from one video card. Equivalent to 8x 1080P
What does "pixel for pixel" mode mean?
The new TVs are much better now. Out of 6 monitors, 1 is actually a cheap LED TV, runs great as 1080P computer monitor. Can't tell the difference, and i have the option to use it as TV.Everything has a purpose or function in life;

This is an old post but it does explain it somewhat:

But basically - TVs often "fudge" things when they display broadcast signals. The pixel-for-pixel (which is what Sceptre calls it, others may call it differently) takes VGA signal and just displays it exactly one to one. I am using two of those 32" Sceptre TVs as my monitors, VGA-connected, in that mode and the picture is crisp, no blurriness at all, they work perfectly well. And where else can you get a 32" monitor for $170?
