4K TV to be used as Monitor
« on: Wed, 13 Jun 2018, 10:54:09 »
Hi All.

I want to upgrade my Dell 27" monitor to a 43" 4k HD TV to be my main screen. My present graphics card is EVGA Nvidia 1080.

Has anyone got any advice or recommendations as to what brand TV to buy ?

Cheers

Dave.

Biggest problem with tellies is their latency compared to a real monitor. Some have gaming modes that reduce this. However I found even using a TV that only did 30Hz refresh with the flight sim I could stay ahead of the game. Something requiring more speed, e.g. the car racing, I found the latency an issue. The TV needs to be HDMI v2 for 60hz 4k gaming, I suspect this is a standard feature on all new TVs today but best to double check.

I use   a 49 inch Samsung 4K tv and it works well. Bright and very clear.
