With a substantial investment, I purchased a secondhand 48-inch 4K LCD Samsung TV at a bargain price and intended to utilize it for both desktop computing and Xbox One X gaming. Could you assess its suitability compared to a new TCL 6 Series 4K television? Specifically, would I experience significant dissatisfaction when contrasted with my existing 55-inch standard definition 1080p display?

This computer is incapable of displaying 4K resolution… and it wouldn't appear very sharp unless you were at least ten meters away from the display. It would be wiser to purchase a television costing $1,000 and a monitor for between $200 and $150. Monitors also offer lower input lag.

That computer isn't capable of displaying 4K resolution… and it wouldn’t appear very sharp unless you were standing ten meters away from the display. It would be wiser to purchase a television for one thousand dollars and a monitor for $200-$150. Monitors also offer lower input lag.
Thank you very much.
What about regarding the Xbox One X? I'm primarily purchasing it for my young son. Does a 4K display without HDR significantly impact image quality, considering I’m operating within a limited budget?

The Xbox will perform exceptionally well in 4K; simply acquire an extra HDMI 2.0 cable to support 4k60 resolution. If you lack this, it’s necessary for displaying 4K at that rate. Regarding HDR, the contrast between dark and light elements will be significantly richer – for example, snow will look far more lifelike, though it's a pleasant addition but not really worth an upgrade in my view. Rather than HDR, I would invest in an OLED television; these TVs enable individual pixels to achieve complete darkness, which means that within a dimly lit room, the pixels won’t emit any light whatsoever. Doing this with a non-OLED display results in black pixels that remain illuminated, creating unwanted light. You can observe this effect yourself by displaying a black image on your phone at full screen in a dark environment – it requires a non-OLED screen to truly demonstrate the difference.
