Should I upgrade to 4k? Or does my set up need work?

I don't think 4K will help, it's more of a viewing angle problem.

For 1080p 24" monitor, person sitting 2 feet away (0.61m) has viewing angle of 47 degrees.

In order for you to have same angle on your 50" 1080p TV, you would need to sit 4.15 feet away (or 1.26m).

Some devs just don't take into account TVs (or people with not so great vision)...I also hate when I have to drop resolution for larger text.
