Works amazing as a PC monitor!
First of all, let me make it clear that I have only used this TV as a computer monitor, so I cannot really comment on its, well, TV functions. However, I am certain of this: if you are looking for a 1080p monitor, forget the monitors, buy this amazing 50" TV!

The colors are very vibrant and vivid. View angles are amazing, I haven't noticed any difference in colors even when looking at the display almost parallel to it. I don't know whether this TV uses any blur reduction and motion smoothing, but it looks much better than many sets that use those functions: at 60Hz, the motions are almost as fluid as on some 120Hz monitors, and I don't see any noticeable blur either. I don't think you can find a TV with a better image than this, unless you look at models with refresh rates above 120Hz.
The text is very clear, and the gaming is incredibly immersing, impossible to even compare to those tiny 27" monitors they sell these days. The only problem you might notice is visible pixelization if you sit up close: after all, 1080p is a bit low for a 50" display. That said, if sitting about 5ft away from the TV, pixelization is no longer really noticeable.
