You'll have to invest in more than "a good monitor" as 4k streaming would be a lag fest on anything below 10 Mbps of download speed, and that's being conservative. Hell, I had 6.5 Mbps back when I used Onlive a lot and it was still laggy and jittery as all hell, and that wasn't even 4k. I can only imagine the slide show then.
Imo, streaming will never take over for gaming as titles are simply becoming too big. I'll take the hardware and reliability over streaming everyday of the week.
