I use a TV as a monitor. When looking for a monitor at the time I noticed TVs are much cheaper. When I compared the specs, I couldn't find any disernable difference.

1. Is this still true that TVs are considerably cheaper than monitors?

2. Is there a difference, or one I should care about between the two?

TVs still are cheaper.

There are differences.

Just to name a few:

Monitors have better colour accuracy, higher refresh rates, have features like Gsync/freesync, way faster response times, more and better ports like displayport 2.1 and usb c, lower input lag.
