Hi guys, I am currently running my recently built tower PC which has a Nvidia 2080 super GFX card.
To this I have attached a Samsung QE49Q7FAM TV the specs of which are:
48.5 in, SVA, Edge LED, 3840 x 2160 pixels
Viewing angles: (H/V): 178 ° / 178 °
Brightness: 450 cd/m²
Static contrast: 5600 : 1
Refresh rate: 50 Hz / 60 Hz
Frame interpolation: 3100 PQI (Picture Quality Index)
TV tuner: Analog (NTSC/PAL/SECAM), DVB-T, DVB-T2, DVB-C, DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB-T2 HD
Cores: 4
I am considering whether it would be better to assign this to just being a TV and to then buy a computer gaming monitor. I love the big screen for the games I play (mainly Black Desert online, Fallout76, Elite Dangerous and DCS World Flight sim) but sitting just over an arms length from such a large screen can't be good for the eyes and I wonder if I would benefit more from the faster response times/refresh rates etc. that a gaming monitor would offer.
My online playing partner insists that a 4K gaming monitor is unnecessary and a complete waste of time and money.
What would the wise old sages of this forum suggest please
