Desktop as Smart TV?

I am now looking into getting a Smart TV. The main feature I want, is to be able to throw anything on my tablet, pc, laptop or phone onto my TV wirelessly, either to share with others or just for the enhanced audio and display.

I see three possibilities to make this happen.
1. A Smart TV
2. A Set-Top Box (Fire TV, Chromecast, Roku)
3. A PC

"3" is the one that interests me most, why not use a real computer?
Wouldn't a desktop be more powerful, more versatile and more secure?

Question 1. Is a PC as a Smart TV a good or bad idea?
Question 2. Can I "stream" from other devices to a Desktop?
Question 3. If so how?
Question 4. Would it be better/possible to use a TV or a PC Monitor?
Question 5. If it's a bad idea, Smart TV or Set-Top Box?

Thanks in Advance. :)
