Cheap 4K TVs vs 4k monitors calibrated.

I know dells legit igzo monitors are accurate when calibrated but how are 4k TVs? Has anyone seen online people talking about getting a 39 in seiki (or other brand) and calibrating it for color accuracy? I am debating on getting a 2560x1440 on sale vs a cheap 4k TV. I find a 2560x1440 a more of a bandaid and waste of money if a cheap 4k TV can have accurate colors for just PS and other things none gaming related. 4k is far more useful to me than 2560x1440 even with limited to 30fps. You know all those pixels are good for other viewings tee-hee i kid ^^

just checked prices seikis 39k is same as a sale price on a name brand 2560x1440 rofl 389

Please someone knows and has a source for a review with calibrated screen :/

err ignorant statement removed..I know most TVs use the zigzag pixels or whatever to get extra viewing angles without needing IPS but i don't know how the colors are after calibration.

Also with that stated what does seiki use MVA or something? I thought i heard that was what they used.

Thanks guys!

Bro, do you have any idea how disgusting 30 Hz is?!?

IGZO is not a panel type like IPS is: IGZO vs IPS: which one is better in terms of display quality

A cheap 4K TV, if such a thing exists, would still be far inferior than the name-brand 4K monitors with TN panels that are coming down in price.

 

i heard the Dell/Sammy TNs sucked even calibrated.

Ok skimmed that link. So what type of panel are the dells IGZOs?

Anyways have you seen anyone calibrate the seiki 4k to see how good it can actually perform?

Also 30hz is irrelevent for static material aka web, photos, video, and so on. Granted the mouse movement over long fast distances might look stupid but if colors can be corrected to be good for what i need it is irrelevant

Don't see a way to limit my 2412m to 30hz. Only gives a 60hz option. Was going to try and see what it was like if it was so bad

Also you know what the display technology seiki uses?

 

30 Hz really needs to be seen to be believed. I have, on a tiled 4K monitor running in SST. It affects everything.

 

if you can find a way for me to turn my 2412m to 30 hz i'll try it and see if it is worth while. Still want to know about colors. I never heard anyone complaint hat 30z was bad when they used the screen as a monitor. Tons of people are using it you are the first i have read that says 30hz is terrible for even normal windows and static images.

 

Try creating a custom resolution and refresh rate in your GPU control panel.

You know how a lot of people rave about the increased smoothness of moving up to 120/144 Hz? Like how even dragging around windows on the desktop is way more fluid and video has less judder? Well, 30 Hz is like that in waayyy reverse, plus an eyeball-searing dose of additional judder and tearing across the entire screen.

 

i dont really see the difference in hz in the past so we will see. I see more ghosting (drives me loony) than jitter/smoothness. I remember 60hz and 90hz and saw nothing but maybe that wasn't enough. Granted that was also CRT soooo yea

EDIT: nope in AMD CCC it doesn't show up anything other than 60hz just like windows :/

 

CRT's are the king of low-persistence, no-ghosting/motion blur computer screens. Maybe you were seeing something else. Refresh rate affected the flickering on CRT's so the higher the better. I don't know how you could stand the severe eye strain of 60 Hz on a CRT LOL. I always ran my CRT's at 85 Hz at least.

That's too bad. I'm pretty sure I can create a 30 Hz custom resolution in Nvidia Control Panel.

 

no no you miss read what i said. Going from 60hz to 90z i saw no difference in smoothness from what i recall but flicker i can't recall...ghosting i never saw anything of course. Tehir 1-2ms decay is awesome but OLED can destroy them with flicker.....some day.

I know when i was messing with my CRT i found on craigs list i can only get liek 60hz or 75 or something with max res and i want max res on that for games with no motion blur. it was 19xxXxxxx something. I can only use it in summer with windows open and wearing my MSA P100 mask lol. The thing burns off some nasty stuff while playing rofl. I mainly play RTS like total war on it...motion blur/ghosting with men moving is god offal.

I just want to play if i can get good colors would be nice just for static images :/ Worth 390 dollar try if i can get some confirmation :/

I also might just have an outdated control panel for all i know. I hate upgrading graphics card firm wear....something always goes wrong IIRC.

 

Don't do it. 30hz is a total deal breaker. Its absolutely horid. I'd go as far to say its 30hz is worse just using desktop apps than gaming.
