Just joking, mate. What price range are you looking for? What size? The smallest you can find with 1920 resolution is 32".

Let me warn you though, I have a 37" LCD in my room, and when I sit up close, it's quite huge for a monitor, even with a 1080p resolution. (On my 24" regular monitor I have 1920x1200.) So depends on how close you will be sitting for the monitor part. If you plan on sitting close, such large monitors are problematic. You should go to an electronic store, even if just so you can stand close to the TVs to see what size you feel comfortable with.

Yes, of course, you can set the Windows settings to whatever you want.

I bought it about 5 months ago for 310 pounds.
I'm happy with it still.

You should go the other way round, i.e. buy a large enough monitor you can use as a TV as well. The reason is simple; TVs just can't compete with monitors when it comes to dpi. And btw, LCD/Plasma/LED is just the way the screen is lit and doesn't really improve the resolution much.

Honestly I could never use 32" for PC, other than just pure gaming :
When I plug in my sisters laptop into my LG in living room, on 1950X1080 everything is sooo small (fonts and that stuff), so to be able to see what I'm doing I would have to be <1m from the screen, and I'm sure I would get blind 
But for watching TV/movies/gaming that res is fine 
For work... I'm satisfied with 22" altho I would like having 24" model, but hey, I'm not complaining

I use 1920x1200 on my 24"  To me, when I display the desktop on the 37" LCD, everything is HUUGE... 
I have always used large resssolusssionsss on my monitors. Even with the CRT, I used to use 1280x960 on a 17" CRT. Gotta have more space! |

I still can't decide on what to get?
I've read up loads on what's good n bad etc and now I'm after a 37 inch, maybe 32 inch lcd tv.
With a res of 1920x---- and at least 60 hz refresh rate, i was told that the 50 hz screens all do 60z it is just that they are in the uk which uses 50z, well did do.
I also need a vga to hdmi cable to use the full 1920x--- res for my pc but have also heard even when the lcd have the full 1920x---- option, some tv are still limited even with the hmdi for pc cable?
Still want one for 500 pounds max.
Any links would be great as I'm really struggling on what to get?
Ryzen 5 3600 cpu@3.60 Mhz.
hyper x 32 gb ddr 4 memory.
Msi Carbon gaming pro ac motherboard.
Evga 600 psu.
Msi Armour rx 8 gb 5700 Graphic card.
Ps4 Standard 500gb.
Lg 4k 42 inch tv.
Oculus Quest 2.

Well first of all, VGA to HDMI does not exist as a single cable. There has to be some transformer in between, because VGA is an analog signal, where as HDMI is a digital signal. DVI is odd, because there's an analog and a digital format; you still can't convert from VGA to DVI-A (analog) to HDMI for example though.
However, MOST TV's now come with a VGA connection, which would be fine for your PC-to-TV connection. There's absolutely no point in trying to convert VGA or even a digital DVI signal to HDMI unless you don't have a VGA/DVI connection on the TV. Why? Because even though DVI is a lot like HDMI, it still lacks something: audio.
All TV's nowadays can also dynamically switch between 50 and 60 Hz without problems, so don't worry about that.
So I have a couple of questions for you:
- Do you have an HDMI output on your graphics card? Or better yet: what outputs does your graphics card have?
- Do you need the sound from your PC to go to the TV through the HDMI cable?
As for suggestions, LG 32LE5300 seems to be good or Sharp Aquos LC-32LE705E. All the Aquos TV's I've seen in the shop looked fucking amazing, but they do come with a pretty hefty pricetag. You can also consider Sony Bravia KDL-32EX600 - I've got the 42 inch version of this and I'm very satisfied with it.

It's around 550 euros over here, which would be just under 500 quid I think? Looking on Amazon gives a much higher price though, so weird :/
Anyway, as for the cabling, this is what you need: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-018-OK
Cheaper variants will do, but I do recommend spending a bit more on the cable as it'll reduce image noise quite a bit. From DVI on your 4890 to a HDMI port on the TV - set resolution to 1920x1080 and you're good to go. You may have a problem with your regular monitor though; does it have a native resolution of 1080p? (Just give me make/model if you don't know and I'll look it up).
As far as the TV goes, I do recommend getting Sony or Sharp over Samsung. Most Samsung's I've seen recently have quite poor contrasts, nowhere near what they're advertised as. Panasonic is a lot better, although they often don't have much special features in terms of ports and stuff. Samsung's older models are good though, those from early 2009 or before - they started using cheaper panels after that, which really shows 
Sony and Sharp both have different advantages. Image quality wise, Sharp is ahead of anyone - also shows in the price. Sony is a bit behind them on image quality, but the other features their TVs have make up for it.
Edit: just found this: http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/5061920/art/sony/kdl-32ex600-led-televisio.html
I don't know the shop at all as I'm not from the UK, but that's a much more realistic price.
On a sidenote: you may want to look for other models, because these EX600 models have a digital cable decoder built-in, which you may not need.
If you do have digital TV, you may need to check with Sky or whatever whether their smartcard can be used in this TV; my provider has a list of certified TVs to use with their smartcards 
Edit 2: that Sony is just as good as the EX600 series, just lacks a few features the bigger models have. Would be an excellent choice
