Someone finally did it: a high-end TV with a DisplayPort connection actually is coming this year, including 4K 180Hz support (www.techradar.com)

Are there gaming screens like that though? Cause I thought commercial monitors were all slow response.

    I've got a 43" Aorus 4k gaming screen for my desktop. 144Hz, freesync, 2 HDMI's a DisplayPort and a USBC. There is a 48" OLED as well, but I didn't have the space for it at the time.

    After using a 4k 43" for a monitor for a few years, I definitely both recommend it AND wish companies would make 8k ones.

    Does anything useful even come in 8K at this point? I saw it as a spec last time I went television shopping, but it seemed like something that wouldn't be useful for another decade.

    8K was always a lie. It's impossible to tell the difference from 4K unless you're too close, 4K already has more pixels than your eyes do.

    Honestly, nah. The screen is awesome, don't get me wrong, but the fact that I had to replace the main board after 1.5yrs, just out of warranty, means I definitely recommend people don't buy it. Luckily I found someone on eBay that dropped theirs, shattered the screen, and sold the internal boards for $50 shipped.

    I only brought it up because it fits the requirements and I recommend the format. 4k 43"+ or 8k is goated on desktop.

    He should have said commerical displays, which are basically TV's rated for long continuous use e.g. digital signage.

    I haven't dealt with them in some time, but I would imagine many, if not most, do not include consumer smart tv features, although they probably have other embedded smart tech to help with stuff like signage.

    No I understand he’s talking about displays, I think I must have backspaced that and undid it at some point. But those commercial displays are not built with fast response rates because they’re literally just built to display one image at a time. Using them for gaming would suck.
