Using a 4k TV as a monitor:
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?
in theory it seems like a good idea but I am not sure if my laptop could power it for gaming (light gaming like kerbal space)

Response time will be like a good few seconds
Don't fucking post unrelated cute girls showing feet on a technology board, faggot
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
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.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX !! WATS IN DE BOX !!!
WATS.
INE.
BOX !!!!!!!!!!!!
Using a TV up close makes my eyes bleed, not a good idea, when my speakers broke I tried it for a while but I ended up going back to my regular monitor.
why not
Yes it's a bad idea, don't do it.
4k should fix that
apple promises 60hz for browsing at 4k but they don't say anything about gaming
well shit then what do
jesus imagine the stink
>gaming mode
drops resolution to 720p
LMAOFAO
Buy a computer monitor, don't buy a tv and use it as a monitor.

>dirty feet on perforated leather
fucking disgusting
those feet look clean but im not a pedo lover so idk
nobody makes a 40inch computer monitor
I want to use my monitor as my TV in my living room
i guess i could live with a 30inch

>dirty
but no
Name one reason anyone needs 4k.
Gaming graphics don't fucking matter.
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.
So what the fuck is the point? Just another "okay, here's yet another bullshit incremental update for people with more money than brains" bullshit scam.
Who's this semen demon?
>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
>Screen real estate isn't a factor at all
Maybe you're just stupid?
>Screen real estate isn't a factor at all.
yes it is, have you never used dual monitors?
>2002
>name one reason anyone needs 1080p
Literally any camera takes photos higher resolution than 4k, so having 4k resolution eases the editing process a lot.
>inb4 not everyone is a photo editor
but everyone takes photos on their phone and views them on their computers which has insufficent resolution to portray them

stinky feet is a good thing u pleb, and the preferred nomenclature is podophile
Exact name she so cute! CUTE! CUTE! CUTE!
What are you going to do? Masturbate? Archieve? Whats the point? Masturbating will feel same as masturbating to anyone else and you will never meet her anyway. You might as well kill yourself already

i think i might have to try it with the smallest 4k tv i can find then just use it as a spare tv if it is shit as a monitor
i can't find a straight answer when i google it some people say it's great others say it sucks
i wont masturbate i just wanna see qt pics of her
M-masturbating to different people feels different baka.
If you couldnt reverse image search you can at least google the adress at the bottom line of the post above
true fact
Listen to this wise man's words
You never had a pc hooked up to a 1080 TV and then compared it to a decent monitor? The response time alone should be enough to sway you
because it's cool you joyless cunt
>stinky feet is a good thing
wow, im glad i exist above the cruft
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
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.
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".
>the are cute and comfy
>TFW neither cute nor comfy at the moment
>Sitting far away is not a thing you'd want to do for your main work computer.
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.
A 40" 4k will have a 10% higher PPI than a 22" 1050p monitor
thanks for the info, now I need to know if I can get a thunderbolt 2.0 to HDMI 2.0 converter....for a rmbp
you dont know what you're missing out on
what are you using to drive it? do you mainly game or other stuff?
does her feet smell good?
aayy shit my wife is back again
290x. Need to upgrade that next. Mostly working from home with some occasional gaming. Runs most things okay, need to drop down to 1080p for some things.
Bit of an old pic with my old rig. Sorry about the messy desk. The Seiki is the one on the left. It really is huge.
like yellow eye, or whatever the foot fungus version of pink eye is
that looks ok, do you think a laptop could drive it?
nice and comfy, i need this
where did you get the coupon?
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.
Newegg just throws it on sale every now and then. I just got lucky and found it.
you can't say you've lived until you've eaten a pretty girl's foot truffles
wow
>you can't say you've lived until you've eaten a pretty girl's foot truffles
>Bit of an old pic with my old rig. Sorry about the messy desk. The Seiki is the one on the left. It really is huge.
shit now 5k is out
do movies even come in 5k?
ya only gay pornos though.
I own a 48" and its 100% worth it. I recommend it to everyone. You have to buy one of decent quality however, do your research.
Normally 4k IS a meme, but on a 40-50" screen it makes a big difference.
>I own a 48" and its 100% worth it. I recommend it to everyone. You have to buy one of decent quality however, do your research.
what brand do you use?
I just want a 30something inch
tfw gaming in 4k
I dont get it
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.
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.
man, movies usually don't even get projected in 4k at the theaters.
>man, movies usually don't even get projected in 4k at the theaters.
well what is the point of buying a 4k tv if there is no 4k content?
>well what is the point of buying a 4k tv if there is no 4k content?
there is 4k content, that retard doesnt know what he is talking about
TV as a monitor.
Pros:
>Huge-ass makeshift monitor.
>Relatively cheap for cost-to-size ratio.
>You can watch TV.
>Almost guaranteed VESA compatibility.
>Multitude of adjustable settings.
>Remote.
Cons:
>So fucking disproportionately huge you'll easily see the pixels and it will be eye-straining as a desktop. Especially if 4K.
>You have a fucking television on your desk.
>The brightness of the TV will destroy your eyes.
>Too much eye-scanning needed to view the screen real estate.
>Response time is incredibly shit, but maybe it doesn't matter to you if you're a pleb.
>You may hear the coil whine.
>Not exactly ideal for multi-monitor setups. Please don't buy another fucking TV.
>Color profiles likely not ideal for desktop use.
>Television screens aren't always built for static images. This can lead to burn-in.
>16:10 aspect ratio practically non-existent for TVs. This only matters if you're autistic.
Neutral:
>HDMI or VGA are your likely connection options.
>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.
where do you get mainstream 4k content such as movies ?
>where do you get mainstream 4k content such as movies ?
you dont
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.
>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.
just because it costs more does not mean it's bad
No it just defeats the purpose of buying a TV to use as a monitor in the first place.
I hate people who type a CUTE

>tfw you could have had many qt gfs like her

kill me please, I've wasted my life doing nothing of value, and still can't fix my own shit
>40" monitor
Do you sit 2" from your fucking TV too, idiot?
>stupid
Nope. Everyone else is, though.
>dual monitors
No, because I don't use a shitty hack that is unreliable as fuck and causes fucktons of problems.
>4k pictures
Maybe fucking professionals targeting print media. If you take 4k pictures, you're just wasting space.
>Maybe fucking professionals targeting print media. If you take 4k pictures, you're just wasting space.
I used a TV as a monitor before and it would just end up giving me a headache every time.
post cp
She is 15. If you find the nudes of her that is technically child porn. Plus she already got caught by the FBI.
I have one of those 40" Seiki TVs. I wouldn't trade it for anything smaller, even with all of its flaws.
You can buy 4k BluRays and get a 4k BluRay player.
or download 4k BluRay Rips but I never see them outside of private trackers.
Or get a fireTV / 4k smartTV with amazon/netflix and you can stream 4k netflix and amazon video content to it
>Plus she already got caught by the FBI.
caught for doing what
she still posts
Can anyone recommend me a good TV upgrade of any size (just not fuck huge)
1080p or 4k either way
I'd dedicate hours to lick each of those toes.
Take 4k and downscale it
Fuck you!!!!
