I am going to purchase a new TV. My ultimate question is, should I get a 50" 4K or a 55"- 60" 10180? (I'm looking at the Visio P and M series) I consume all of my media from a desktop. Most of it will not be in 4K resolution, but I am wondering how well the conversion will be. Also, when using a TV for a monitor in the past, I have observed that text often comes out blurry or distorted making it hard to read. So, I am thinking that the upscaling to 4k might improve this?? But, I'm also worried about Windows scaling to 4k.
Is anyone using a 4k TV for a monitor?

Desktop:
i5 4650k
GTX 770
Windows 7
I will be sitting 13ft away from the TV.
I do not game all that much anymore and have no problem with gaming at 1080, as long as the screen is much bigger than the 27" IPS I'm using now.

I would probably get a cheaper 1080 and wait on 4k till its more accepted.

3 980s struggles at 4k, so a single 770 wouldn't even put a dent if you're going to game.

4k isn't ready for prime time.

yeah, 4k is too much for now. wait till it get mainstream, not only will it be cheaper but graphics cards should be able to handle them just like a 1080 now
