There is absolutely no reason to buy a TV in 4K currently. Not only are games years away from using it as a primary medium, but there are hardly any 4k resolution channels/movies available. Recommendations for a 4k TV are unfounded and frankly a bit crazy. They are overpriced and sort of useless right now, so wait a few years and maybe buy one then. Right now it makes no sense. My recommendation is to match what many games use now, which is a max of 1080p and a 60hz refresh rate. 240hz max, the 600 that everyone thinks is so epic and amazing with Samsung's plasma TVs is completely overkill and unnecessary. Many TVs (Even if you were to buy a 1080p, 60hz TV) now have a game specific mode that cuts down on the latency drastically, it is a normal feature that is built into modern day TVs. It makes the picture that much less amazing (Only a tiny bit in my experience) but it helps with the latency which is huge with competitive games, not necessarily any others.
Anyways, buying an over-priced TV because many are uninformed and have not researched the ins and outs of the many different TVs out there (I just bought two for gaming recently, and I research everything TO DEATH before I buy) is just not a great idea. I would follow a very basic formula. 1080p, at least 60hz (preferrably a sweet spot of 120hz for bigger TVs) and just check online to make sure that it has good reviews and offers a gaming picture mode if you are a competitive online gamer, because it really is unnecessary otherwise. Good luck on your TV hunt!
