Samsung UN40KU6300 4k TV

[Hinda65]

I've been eyeballing this tv to use as my gaming monitor (no web/stream etc)... BB currently has it for $428.00. Anyone have any experience with this model or any advice on using a 4k TV as a monitor? From the research I've done this tv does have hdmi 2.0 and a UHD mode that will enable 4k/60hz....

Just my $.02, but sitting 2-3' away from a 40" display for gaming is going to generate craptons of eye fatigue from having to dart your focus around too large of an area.

I wouldn't go above 30" for a desktop display, personally, which also precludes the need for 4K. Your dual 780s must be killing it in 1440; why ruin a good thing?

My 780's were killing it @ 1440p until one took a dump...I just upgraded to an EVGA 1080 FTW (just updated sig) so now I'm destroying 1440p. I've recently been shopping around and really dig those 32" 1440p widescreens but they are a little out of my budget. I agree 40" is a little overkill... My guess was @ 4k the bigger screen would be sharp enough that you'd want it close..3' - 4' which I could do with my setup. Thanks for the advice man.

40" 4k is fine if you have the space for it. If you dont have a good ~3 feet or so however it will be a bit too large.
