I am looking at upgrading my current system to break into the realm of 1440/4K gaming. Originally, I was thinking of going with a GTX 1070 and getting a monitor for 1440 at 60 Hz. All in all, I could do an upgrade like that for about $1200-$1300.
However, I (foolishly) bought a 4K (3840x2160) 120 Hz Sony TV (55 inch) a while ago. There really isnt much 4K content to be had for TV's in my world, and now a new thought has crossed my mind. Could I build a rig to game with my TV and circumvent the need for a monitor?
I figure I could use the money saved by not getting a monitor to get a GTX 1080 and improved CPU for only a little more capital then my original 1440 plan.
What I want to know is if this is possible? Did I get too big of a TV to build a PC to match? Also, I have never gamed at 4K, can anyone comment on the drawbacks from using a TV as opposed to a monitor?
