Hi guys I will like to hear opinions about what would be better to get the best performance from Gforce Nvidia 780 a pc monitor 4K or TV 4k connected HDMI..I am looking a 28 inches and have better refresh rate ...I guess......what brand?

I currently have a HZ281 28 inches conected via HDMI only 1920x1200 resolution 60 hertz...

thanks

Pedro

60 Hz is more relevant than 4K resolution ! the native resolution of simulator is limited indeed.

Projector at 100".

Well I'd vote for TV... I enjoy my 40 inch TV very much.  However if you must have 4k now you'll run into a problem because your video card and TV must both support HDMI 2.0 in order to get 60 HZ, otherwise you're limited to 30 HZ.  The 780 doesn't have HDMI 2.0 so you'll have an issue unless you get a new video card too.  With the 780 you'll be forced to run at 60 HZ 1080p or 30 HZ Ultra HD.  Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's correct.

Not sure if a Nv780 can drive this at 4K (probably only a 970 or better - needs a Display Port 1.2a for 4K) but it is a great possibility:

That should work because it's got the display port. Most TVs don't.  I imagine though for the extra cost he'd be better off upgrading the video card and getting a TV.  I have a 780ti and I think I'll just wait until the next round of video cards.  It doesn't seem like a big deal to upgrade to a 980.  Plus at 4k you'll need more VRAM.

i tried a tv for 6 months, after going back to a 2560x1080 monitor, no way would i use a tv again, just my opinion.

I ran FSX on a 40" Samsung TV for about a year with track ir.... I then invested in 3 32" monitors....I don't think I would fly any other way now...it adds so much peripheral vision that world feels like it should: massive.

 

 There are reasons why most 40+ inch tv's are around the same price as 27in monitors. 

.I don't think I would fly any other way now

 I'm on 3 27" inch, can't go back.  But you might want to take a look at this:  http://forum.avsim.net/topic/452305-prepp3d-views-peripheral-distortion-correction/

Most SmartTV's are monitors.  But don't quote that.   

Hi Pedro,

 

I have just purchased a 4K Samsung UHD HU9000 55inch TV to replace my 3 X 30in monitors, took me a few hours to get use to the bigger screen but I must say its absolutely amazing and I recommend it to everyone. 

 

I have a Titan Black GPU and can confirm when using the latest Nvidia Drivers I'm getting 60hz at 4096 x 2160 with HD True Color. 

 

I must admit I was sceptical about the purchase at first but the color and clarity is superb. I even had a performance increase with better FPS and less OOM and texture loading is now instant when panning around in VC or outside view.

 

My system is kinda old now 2700K OC 4.8 but using the TV I can have all P3D slides maxed out with soft clouds flyin the PMDG777 or NGX into major add-on airports. Only thing I still need to do is save my flight at TOD then restart the SIM, reload and land after a 15 hour flight in the 777 or I'll get an OOM on final.

 

trust this helps

hummmm this is something I will have to seriously think about...prices for good quality of both are pretty high so I will have to think about it..and the 780 is only 7 months old......

thanks for you guys responses anyway

thing is I dont have space for more than 32 inches either monitor or tv...so 28 or 32 maximum....

ok sorry my ignorance but I currently have my 780 using HDMI to the monitor ....so that means this HDMI is not 2.0?...which means I am at 30 HZ?...I am lost here

 There are reasons why most 40+ inch tv's are around the same price as 27in monitors. 

why?

You can run 1080p fine at 60hz+ with HDMI 1.2....  If your monitor or Tv has a display port, it has enough bandwidth to carry 4k at 60hz, but HDMI 1.2 does not, so you could use the display port of your 780ti.  Virtually no TVs have display ports, but if you go the monitor route some monitors do.  The 780ti only  supports HDMI 1.2, but the 970,980 and Titans have HDMI 2.0, meaning you could hook that up directly to a 4kTV and have 4k at 60hz.  

 

Since I'm in the same boat as you, my thought is to just wait on the next generation of video cards, unless money's not an issue and you can afford to upgrade everytime a new card comes out.  Anything but the latest Titan (even that maybe) will probably still struggle at 4k.

 

I'm curious about how the textures look in P3d in 4k.  It seems like if you ran 4096 textures you'd OOM alot anyway.

 

SOmeone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

I hope that helps...

thinking about 980 I see 4 different s variations and prices there.....any advise?

hummm so Titan is the deal?

If you go the 4K tv route, make sure the tv supports HDMI 2.0. Personally I would recommed spending your money on a 1440p monitor, 4K gaming is very demanding in regards of performance...
