The problem with a TV is the response delay. Many TVs will start to display a received picture more than 40ms after receiving it. A computer monitor is often in the 2-20ms range. Some TVs have a game mode that will reduce this slightly. I for one will tire more quickly using a TV, I don’t necessarily notice it immediately but something just bothers me and makes my movements more sluggish. The next issue is viewing distance you will want to sit further away. Then there is how even the lighting and how accurate the colors are. For a TV this isn’t that important for a computer monitor it can be factor when working with photos or graphics.
If you have a TV try it out, but I would never buy one for this purpose. For 250 you can get some decent monitors that don’t have the resolution but will make up for it with comfort and ergonomics.
There are sometimes some good monitor deals out there 350$ for a 27 inch ips 3840*2160 monitor

Are you using a dual or single link cable? For 2560x1440 you need a dual link one (if you look at the connecter all pins should be there).

I had a similar problem when trying to use an LCD TV (1920x1080)
as a computer monitor - text looked like garbage, so I played with
the settings on the TV itself. By default, I think the TV was
trying to do some sort of sharpening on the image - once I got it
into a different mode (the modes were things like 'TV', 'Theater',
'Night', etc.), everything was much better.
