It depends on what you're observing. Try to compare and see if anything changes.
Only you can provide this insight. Many people overlook the distinction on PCs, though I think those who don’t notice are often the same ones who don’t see differences between DVD and Blu-Ray or 480p versus 1080p. Some will pick up the variation, others won’t. It hinges on your TV size, how far you sit from the screen, your PC’s capabilities, and most crucially, your vision. As @ Sauron advises, turn it on, compare the two settings, and check if you can spot a difference. Also consider the effect on performance.
AA offers advantages regardless of the situation, and even on a 28" 4K display there are noticeable benefits. If you manage to keep performance stable while using it, go ahead—there’s nothing harmful about trying it, just about five seconds to activate it.
Most televisions include built-in image enhancement to soften the edges, which means you likely won’t need an external one.
