Pro's:
* solves any PPI issue
* solves "too big" issues
* reduced eye strain due to increased focusing distance
* high end TV's are half the price or cheaper than high end monitors
* great gaming performance (4K 120Hz adaptive sync HDR10 is common, 8K is coming). Latency can be comparable to gaming monitors.
* speakers, monitor, charging stuff, other junk are on second desk leaving first desk uncluttered
* monitor is vibration isolated. I bought a separate monitor arm to be able to pivot the screen for coding and I hate wobbly arms.
Cons: * takes up more space. My setup is about 2.5 ikea desks deep (200cm).
* TV subpixels are not always RGB. Mine are BGR-White.
* cost of second desk
* wife acceptance factorThe only way to get a good 27” 5K screen is to buy an iMac.
