Hello. Comparing the two options: a 55-inch 4K display with lower settings for 60 FPS offers smoother performance for gaming, while a 1080P screen with higher graphics settings provides better picture quality but may sacrifice frame rate. Which suits your needs more?
If you can handle 4K at 60Hz, definitely give it a try. A 1080p display uses only a fraction of the pixels, and even with top settings it won’t compare to a 4K screen. Running at 60Hz in 4K with minimal graphics tweaks and reduced textures might be enough for basic playback. For smoother performance, consider a 2560x1440p monitor, where you could likely run games at ultra or high settings and even push toward 144Hz displays.
Yes, many set up multiple monitors or screens for a richer experience. It offers a wider field of view and lets you see more of the action. Most users with HTPCs or console games on TVs find it works well. You might want to test it out before deciding it’s bad.
They mention a misunderstanding about SMP performance. It doesn't affect your frame rate like a standard triple monitor setup would. A triple monitor is still more demanding than a single screen, so benchmarks exist for both configurations. This clip focuses specifically on SMP triple monitors versus regular triple monitors.
It really depends on how much you want to reduce the settings for 4K playback. A medium setting works well, while low or minimum can cause problems. Modern TVs usually have input lag similar to standard monitors, so it's not as problematic as it used to be when playing games on older screens.
Response time doesn't meant anything because every company measures it differently and there is no actual standard. So that number of "G2G response time" in milliseconds means nothing, it is just for advertising. What DOES matter and can actually be measured is the input lag. Time between signal goes to the screen and then gets displayed. As I said, newer tvs have response time similar to regular monitors, about 20ms. Unless you are a competitive esports player or something, you cannot notice this amount of time. And I agree, if his PC isn't powerful enough he should go 1080p or 1440p. If he has a 1070 or better, 4k is the way to go.
