Will a 4k TV play just as good on games at a resolution of 1440p , than a actual 1440p resolution monitor?

4k Television playing games at the resolution of 2,560 x 1,440

vs

1440p Monitor playing games at the resolution of 2,560 x 1,440,

Both have refresh rate of 60 hz, does the 1440p tv have more advances panels and color depth etc? will it be better or just the same?, I want a 4k tv that can perform as a 1440p monitor(without being hindered worse than buying 1440p monitor) untill i upgrade my hardware.

The normal 4k resolution of 3840 × 2160 is not a multiple of 2560x1440, so the screen can not match one pixel of the 2560x1440 resolution to a fixed number of pixels on the physical 4k screen. That can cause blurry borders (not a big issue, since the borders are really small in 4k, but the image quality still is a little less awesome than on a native 1440p screen). In addition TV-screens often show motion-blur because their lower refresh rates, more clouding and a lower quality in color representation than the good 1440p monitors.

It will be exact. The pixels will line up perfectly and it will look as it should. When you run an LCD at a resolution that isn't it's native res it has to use interpolation to adjust the size. I know at lower resolutions this can look quite bad. Not sure how true it is above 1080.

i am currently running a samsung 4k monitor at 1440p with a 780ti and it looks fine.

On an LCD, everything but native resolution will introduce a blur. There's no such thing as "even multiples", basically making a 4k at 1080 look the same as a native 1080, that's a myth. Overscanning of about 5% can instantly cut the resolution in half, what makes people think lowering the resolution makes it stay sharp, ridiculous argument, and misinformation.
