Movies and TV connecting tv to computer

The TV is a Hisense that we did have Directv, now cut, and using Roku.

My goal is to use the tv and an additional computer monitor. The computer and the tv are 20' apart. I tired using my wireless mouse from the bar 15' away and I was able to use the mouse.

Thus the end game, ? wire ? HDMI from the back of the computer to the back of the tv. Both spare HDMI ports.

Sit at my bar, and surf on my 52" screen...

At my office, I have 2 monitors, as I assume most of you do to.

Can a dumb tv be used as a monitor? Just by running a wire and configuring the computer as a ?mirror??

Thoughts?
