I play at triple 1080p in portrait mode, which gives a very close 16:10 aspect ratio. When viewed as one screen, it looks like a 40" monitor. In terms of dimensions, a 50" 4K setup would be impressive for gaming. You'd need to be about a meter away from the TV to see any pixelation. I'm not sure about input lag either—never really used a TV for gaming before.
TV causes excessive delay... unless it's the model at the link provided.
The discussions about "pixel density" seem to overlook the main issue. Starting with a 50-inch 4K TV should match the pixel density of a 1080p 24-inch or a 1440p 30-inch screen. This isn't considered high, but it's not a deal-breaker for a PC monitor either. With a 50-inch display, you won't be positioned as closely to the screen as with smaller monitors. If you have two 22-24-inch screens side by side and another two above them, it would be impractical. I’d suggest it’s an interesting concept, but there are a couple of factors that could make it less appealing. If it sits on your desk, a 50-inch size is quite large. For a living room setup, while 4K is impressive and supported by many GPUs, it might still be a stretch for most games. Right now, when the focus is solely on gaming and 4K isn’t readily available, it’s hard to justify the investment.
