I bought this Sony model based on reviews, specifically as a 4K computer monitor, since I do a lot of programming and graphics work. At that resolution, anything under 40 inches is difficult to use, so this 49 inch monitor was a very practical choice for me.
I was pleasantly surprised at how good this was as a monitor. I have two other hi resolution monitors that I paid much more for, and this is the best of all of them. The color is accurate and the screen brightness is flat all the way to the corners.
I have not used it as a TV, but have played videos on it. One point: I found that it is sharpest at 30 Hz, but that there is little difference in mouse movement, etc. from playing it at 60 Hz, probably because it is rated at twice the refresh rate of most other 4K TVs (240 vs 120). A pleasant surprise is that I can also get true 4K: The top resolution allows for 4096 x 2160 (true 4K) as well as 3840 x 2160 (regular 4K), so it can be used to edit 4K video.
For something that is supposed to be a smart TV, it is an unusually great computer monitor on its own.
