Is a tv better than a dual monitor?

Monitors usually have lower input lag, higher refresh rates and faster response time than TVs, which make them a better choice for gaming (there are exceptions, such as OLED TVs). On the other side, TVs are larger and more affordable, so they are fantastic for watching movies and TV shows, as well as console gaming.

Is a monitor better than a tv for gaming?
Due to the high response time of up to 20ms, you're more likely to get input lag. This makes gaming televisions less suitable for competitive games than gaming monitors. There are gaming televisions with a lower response time, but the chance of input leg is still higher than with a monitor.

Is a tv too big for gaming?
It depends on the game you play. If you play games like Sims or Civilization, you would want a bigger screen, but if you play games like Call of Duty, Battlefield etc. you want a smaller screen, in the 19–32 inch area from my experience.
