Get a 70 inch TV and mount it on the wall several feet from your desk. Now you're focusing at close to infinity. Put the computer nearby the TV and use a wireless keyboard and mouse at your desk.

does the type of tv matter? resolution/technology?? Or is the benefit more from the size and distance?? Can a smaller oen work? like a 50inch?

Benefit is distance focus, avoiding eye strain from convergence (think "cross-eyed") when focusing on closeup objects.

  Distant object
      | |
      | |            Close object
      | |                 /\

For this use I think almost any modern screen will do. Color accuracy typically doesn't matter for developing. And anything over 55" these days will have 4k resolution as a minimum.
