June 23, 20169 yr Anyone using a VIZIO 50" 4K UHD LED Smart TV (D50u-D1) for P3D / XP10? If so how are you finding it? It may be a cheap TV but its got the fastest response time of all 2016 model 4K TV's and it can run at 30 or 60 Hz. http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/vizio-vizio-50-4k-uhd-led-smart-tv-d50u-d1-d50u-d1/10416749.aspx?path=c44f0a7a826c761127a64c04148a5f8cen02 Pete Richards I've owned every version of flight simulator since Flight Simulator 3.0 in 1988.

June 23, 20169 yr Commercial Member I'm running a 43" and it's just fine. Ed Wilson Mindstar AviationMy Playland - I69
June 23, 20169 yr I think I have last year's model. No complaints at all...zero...none...nunca. Gregg Seipp "A good landing is when you can walk away from the airplane. A great landing is when you can reuse it." i9 64GB RAM, GTX-5090
June 23, 20169 yr Moderator We have the 42" M Series, and it's EXCELLENT! Picture quality, ease of use... all 100%! Alan :smile:
June 23, 20169 yr I'm pretty sure that is the exact model I use. I'll have to double check when I get home. I love mine. Great in all aspects. One small quibble is that in standby mode (computer off, tv on) the screen constantly displays 'no input' so the screen never truly goes off unless the tv is off. 2nd small quibble is that with very specific patterns on the screen, a high frequency tone can be heard. I first noticed this with a zoomed out Excel spreadsheet grid pattern.
June 23, 20169 yr Author I have two GTX970's in SLI. I should be able to run 4K? Pete Richards I've owned every version of flight simulator since Flight Simulator 3.0 in 1988.

June 23, 20169 yr Moderator Oh... we just use the Vizio for watching TV, not as a HD Monitor. It does that very well. Alan :smile:
June 23, 20169 yr Author Oh... we just use the Vizio for watching TV, not as a HD Monitor. It does that very well. Alan :smile: I will not be using it for TV.

June 23, 20169 yr Commercial Member Uh... mine is a monitor... and works very well. Ed Wilson Mindstar AviationMy Playland - I69
June 23, 20169 yr Author Think I will order one on payday Pete Richards I've owned every version of flight simulator since Flight Simulator 3.0 in 1988.

June 23, 20169 yr Just looked, yes this is the exact size a model I use on my PC. I run it on one GTX970 with FSX. Don't think I've ever seen the GPU maxed out running it at 4k yet.
June 23, 20169 yr Got me interested too, in checking out this monitor. Would be a BIG upgrade from my trusty 25 inch Samsung monitor. In looking around there is better pricing, around $550 at several retail places. (Wal-Mart, Target etc.) Sheldon "Bill" Williams

June 24, 20169 yr To anyone contemplating the purchase of a 4k TV for use as a PC monitor, I suggest you read the analysis and utilize the information compiled at this site: http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/by-usage/pc-monitor/best 4k 60Hz is great, and so is low response time/input lag but you should also look for chroma 4:4:4 capability or you may end up with visual anomalies and less desirable image quality.
