YMMV, but in my experience cheapo TVs tend to not support 60Hz refresh rate. Most often it's either 24, 30 or 50, and that's absolutely a dealbreaker. It's fine for a TV, not for a computer monitor.
So if you're trying to save a buck, TV is probably not an option.
- eins1234 5y agoI definitely remember a time when this was something to watch out for (early 4k days), and made most TVs non-starters as computer monitors. I don't think it's true anymore though as most TVs I've seen, even the cheap ones, can do 4k 60hz over HDMI no problem. This one I've been eye'ing is $500 at amazon for the 43 inch version: https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-43-Inch-Class-QLED-Built/dp/B08VWDMC91/ https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-43-Inch-Class-QLED-Built/dp/B... According to rtings it does 4k at 60hz, 500+ nits peak brightness, and even has a 32 inch version (at a even lower $400 price)! https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/q60-q60a-qled https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/q60-q60a-qled It's an absolute steal in terms of specs/dollar compared to pretty much every 4k monitor out there. I'm just hesitant to pull the trigger because of the manual wake up thing, which has really frustrated me in the past.
