Many (most?) current TVs has either a game or PC mode which can be set on your HDMI to disable these "improvements".
I think this is primarily driven by console gamers to the benefits of PC users. Our needs align here.
If you check rtings.com they usually evaluate how good the TVs are as a monitor.
You might still have issues with local dimming etc. But that is the price of cheap. Better models works really good today.
I am using a really cheapo LG 43" 4K as a monitor. Properly adjusted it is usable. Would I like better? Yes. But it is worth the trade off. And there are only a few options for a "proper" 4K monitor at 43". I find that a little strange as it hits the sweet spot around 110ppi. I used to used dual monitors but I much prefer a (I know: comically) large screen.
Only real annoyance I have is that it does not turn off automatically like a real monitor using DPMS. This means that I have to turn it on using a button. It will turn off after 15 min if there is no signal. Like in the olden days.
