The line between TV and PC Monitor is pretty thin. I've got my computer hooked up to my LG via HDMI and if there's a difference between that and my office monitors, I can't find it.

The difference is the LG TV has a computer already in it. Otherwise the panels are pretty similar.

But some types (and especially sizes) of panels are hard to find in "dumb" PC monitors and vice versa. You can (maybe) find a 42 inch TV, but I'm not aware of a 65 inch display without TV features, let alone any larger sizes.
