Using a 4k TV as a monitor: Is this a bad idea? walmart has

Response time will be like a good few seconds

Don't fucking post unrelated cute girls showing feet on a technology board, faggot

>>56033437
Don't know about a 4k but there is a reason a monitor is more expensive than a tv it has to do with pixel density. when watching something on a TV you're farther than a monitor, which means that if you sit closely to a TV the image will not be perfect. (That was my experience with a full hd TV).

you'll most likely won't even get 60hz refresh rate depending on if it supports hdmi 1.2 or 2 and/or displayport

>>56033437
Pixel pitch is worse than a monitor and response time is worse than a monitor. Even with gaming mode enabled, tvs suck for computer use.

No goddamn video uses 4k and it doesn't look any better at a proper viewing distance anyway.

Screen real estate isn't a factor at all.

>Name one reason anyone needs 4k.

well you need 4k on a 40 inch monitor so you can get the needed resolution to use it for typing, otherwise everything would be fuzzy and blurry, 4k is the same pixel density as 1900x1200 on a 24inch monitor

not that complicated, this way you don't have to have 2 or 3 monitors with bezels separating them for the same real estate

no i have not tried it but what is a digital cable box or blue ray plaer or xbox if not just a computer?

it must work at least for movies if you are willing to sit far away

>>56033437
using a 4k 40"-50" TV as a monitor is *potentially* OK.
no matter what you'll probably get poor-ish input latency (40-100 ms), but you can still get a good picture.

the things to look out for:
> HDMI 2.0 support for UHD@60 Hz w/4:4:4 chroma - mandatory unless you want silky smooth 30 Hz and/or shitty color munging on color text
> PWM backlighting - may cause eye strain unless it can be disabled or have the duty cycle adjusted
> IPS/VA/TN - you might want to consider IPS to avoid positional color shift at the edges on a display that big, unless you game/watch movies a lot in a dark room, in which case maybe VA

the 2015 and newer LGs have HDMI 2.0, adjustable backlight duty cycle, and IPS panels.
the 2015 and newer Samsungs have HDMI 2.0 and VA panels.
Would recommend either, based on individual needs.

>>56034432
Sitting far away is not a thing you'd want to do for your main work computer.

I got this on sale for $450. 60 Hz, response and color are great. No problems with it except its too big. I wish I got a 32".

i know but it must at least "work" the thing to me that would stop you from using it as your work computer would be your video card being unable to render 3800X2000 or whatever 4k really is

as long as it could i think you would be OK

>Is this a bad idea? walmart has a 40inch on sale for $279, I have a 2016 13.3 rmbp, could I use this as a monitor?
Yes you could but its going to suck ass, the cheap ass 4k TVs have lots of lag because the "Smart TV" portion does image processing. Also it may not support 60hz, or 4:4:4 color

I use a 4k tv as a monitor and its nice, but itll make you less competitive at gaming if thats something you care about. A lot of stuff will be in your peripheral vision.

Depends on the card in the laptop. Also to get 60 Hz you need displayport 1.2 for this monitor. HDMI is limited to 30. So it would be good for browsing the net and shit like that but not gaming really.

I'm using a Samsung JU7500. But every brand sells low-end and high-end models.

I bought a pixel perfect crossover 32" for my friend and it looks awesome. It looks like it recently jumped in price though, I originally got it for $200 less off of ebay. I've heard Wasabi Mango is also good.

Personally for a monitor I'd also recommend the 40" samsung JU7100. The extra $180 is worth the increase in size.

Whatever you get, just make sure it's 4:4:4 chroma. Makes a massive difference in reading text.

>>56035909

I've got an LG 49UF7600 and can similarly recommend.
It's surprising how quickly you can go from
> that's too fucking huge
to
> eh, seems about normal for what a person would want

I will also second the emphasis on needing UHD@60Hz w/ 4:4:4 chroma.
30 Hz and 4:2:2/4:2:0 chroma are both unacceptable.

Reminder that "4K" is a standard, not a resolution.

Unless a TV understands it's own color gamut, the source color gamut, and can map the colorspaces correctly and instantly... it's just a high-res TV.

Neutral:

>Built-in speakers.

Monitors usually to only need to be 2-3 feet from your face for a regular desktop setup. They shouldn't be any larger than 30-32" in that case.

Yo dont make the same mistake I did. Dont buy a monitor that can only do 4k at 30hz, thats not good enough for a computer monitor. my tv was advertised as 4k 60hz but it can only do 1080p in 60hz, 4k is 30hz only. Even moving a mouse across the screen is laborious at 30hz, its not bad for watching 4k youtube videos though. just anything where you see the results of your input, you'll notice major lag. i'm talking about scooting a mouse around, gaming, basically anything except for photo or video viewing sucks ass at 30hz

I find that 3d games are extremely taxing at 4k not even games for shitty hardware work well at that resolution on decent hardware. less graphical games work fine though. I play factorio in 4k and it runs like a pro

You can get a 55 inch lg oled 4k tv for 1500, 55ef9500

The need to spend extra money to get 4:4:4, the right inputs and a decent response rate negates the benefits of a TV vs a monitor.

It'll end up costing you more to get the same functionality as an average monitor.

It's definitely a compromise.
Just make sure everything including your rMBP supports HDMI 2.0 for 4:4:4 chroma or everything will look like shit.

Also make sure the brightness goes low enough to view without frying your eyes and maybe that it's not PWM, since flicker is a lot bigger problem in the corners of your vision with a big display.

The only legit large UHD monitor at the moment IMO is the 2016 Philips (same panel as 43" IPS TVs from LG), for which you pay a big premium over the ~$500 TVs like the 43UH6100.

LG 40UH630V

Got it for 400 euros, it's pretty fucking good!
Make sure the TV your are buying has a "gaming mode". It turns off all the post processing to reduce input lag. But even with that turned on, theres still a little delay, enough to annoy me playing CS:GO, but otherwise it's more than usable! For general use you don't even notice the delay.

If you want a big screen with high rez, i'd say pull the trigger!

I have a Vizio M Series 4k TV, has a game mode feature in the picture settings. I mean it reduces imput lag quite a bit, theres an article about this specific model out there. it also supports 60hz with the appropriate HDMI connection.

For non competive light gaming when you don't need swift response time, yeah it works. You're gonna need a good setup to get confortable in front of your tv tho.

I have a 4k tv and a mpb so I can weight in.
you need to use an active dp to hdmi adapter to achieve 4k @ 60hz and there is only one company making those adapters aka club3d

if you dont use an active adapter it will be 4k @30hx and it will lag badly even when gliding your mouse across the screen

you can use it as a monitor but the tv that I have isnt a full chroma aka 4:4:4 but rather just 4:4:0 so it depends if you are using it for graphic design or just normal web browsing

you can't extend the display at 4k but can only mirror it. if you are planning to use it for normal web browsing then it should be fine but expect to have very small fonts but mac is good at scaling fonts so that's a plus i'd guess

>>56049444
