t all comes down to what you want to do with the display....
- if you plan on connecting a PC to it and ever plan on gaming on anything higher than 60hz (60fps) and if input lag is important to you or you are into competitive gaming then a monitor will be what you need
- if you are going to do most of your gaming at or under 60fps then a HDTV is always going to be the better option as long as you aren't into competitive gaming. Cause the best 4k HDTVs in the input lag Dept have an input lag of around 18-20ms while with monitors they can be as low as 8ms or in some cases even as low as 2ms.
My personal advice, will be to get a 4k HDR HDTV. They just offer far more flexibility and future proofing. And you can't argue with the price to size advantage they have over monitors.
Oh onr last thing..... i will strongly advice that you shop around for at least a 50" 4k HDTV. Even if it means you waiying a bit to throw more money at it. There are some pretty decent 50-55" 4k HDR TVs you can find right now that are around $600-$1200 (depending on what you are going for). I'm pretty sure that if you wait till around late November or December you will get crazy deals on most of them. The way I see TV purchases; its something you are gonna probably put on everyday for the next 3-4yrs. I think they are worth spending a little bit more to get something that's above average.
