I recently bought this tv to use as a computer monitor:
http://www.amazon.com/Seiki-Digital-SE50UY04-50-Inch-120Hz/dp/B00BXF7I9M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1390877550&sr=8-2&keywords=seiki+4k
I got it for 650 dollars at sears, I'm pretty happy with it. At 4k it's great. The 30hz in desktop use seems a bit sluggish, but I think the extra resolution is worth it right now.
Anyway, today I came home from class and when I turned on the screen it just showed a blank screen, although it did say 3840x2160 30hz at the top right. I couldn't get anything to work, so I hooked up my old TV also, so I could at least change the resolution on the 4k tv. The tv still works fine at 1920x1080 at 120hz, but if I try to go to a 4k resolution it only outputs a blank black screen. I tried switching out the hdmi cable, that didn't change anything. I also reinstalled my video driver, which also didn't change anything.
I use a gtx 660, connecting to this tv using hdmi. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the tv or with the video card. I'm just pretty disappointed, I was really happy using this tv at 4k, I'm just trying to get it to work again. Nothing changed between the time when it was working and when it stopped. When I first got the tv I did update the firmware.
I know not many people would have experience with this, but I'm looking for some insights that might help me fix the problem.
