How is this with consoles ??

I've heard because of some mumbo jumbo, many monitors are not ok, so you need a TV.

It's somewhat pointless with consoles and bluray and anything that doesn't offer native 4K output. I doubt that the monitor scaler is any good and consoles dont upscale to anything higher than 1080p.

It is best utilized as a computer monitor where you can maximize the screen realestate with programs and use it for gaming at native resolution.

Too bad the most bang-for-the-buck card that gives you 4K at steady and reliable framerates is the R9 290/X. And that is still too fucking expensive.

Was just asking out of curiosity though, I just tried once to connect a gamecube to a desktop, and the result was hideous.
