Hey Guys,
I've recently been looking for 4k 60inch Monitor/TV with a 1 millisecond response time, and with 60hz or more. Also worth noting that the budget is $4,000 US
System:
Mobo: Maximus Vi Hero
CPU: i7-4770 (not looking to OC the CPU)
CPU Cooling: Noctua NH-D14
PSU: RM1000 Corsair
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Low height kit 16G
HDD: WD Black SATA3 1TB
Case: Cooler Master Cosmos 11 Ultra tower
Operating System: Windows 8.1
GPU: 4G R9-290X Sapphire Tri-X x2
SSD: Samsung (250GB x2) 500G
Optical Drive: Blu-Ray Writer Asus-Pro
Operating System: Windows 8.1
Speakers: Swan M60 5.1 Multimedia

Only Panasonic 65" 4K TV support pc gaming at 60 Hz. All other TVs support 4K Gaming at only 30Hz...due to HDMI 1.4 limitations....you can buy TV with HDMI 2.0 but still there are no Graphics card that support HDMI 2.0.....Panasonic use HDMI 2.0 + Displayport (This display is over your budget though)

You need to be careful with HDTV's.

1) ALL HDTV's have video processing which adds lag so you need a suitable gaming mode.

2) "60 Hz or more"
I think all HDTV's only accept up to 60Hz signals. When you get "240Hz" signals that's for smoothing video buy artificially adding in frames via video processing AFTER the signal comes into the PC.

This is my understanding. I'm happy to be politely corrected on this.

**This is the HDTV I'm in love with, especially because of the awesome speakers which are hard to get on TV's. You'd need to carefully investigate my above points in the manual though (Canadian link): http://store.sony.ca/55-xbr-4k-ultra-hd-tv-zid31-XBR55X900A/cat-31-catid-All-4K-XBR-Ultra-HDTVs

I see in the specs it says "Game-standard" and "Game-original" so chances are this HDTV supports what you want which is to NOT process the incoming 4K video.

The "60hz or more" is for monitors, but thanks for your contribution! :D
