This Thing Rocks as a Computer Monitor
12 of 12 found this helpful I bought this to replace a 7-year old 27" 1080p computer monitor. I read this was an ideal size for viewing 4K content at a native resolution. This is not true for me. At native resolution with 100% scaling the font is too small and strains my eyes. I am using this at native resolution with 125% scaling with Windows 10 and it is absolutely phenomenal. There is a lot of screen real estate and the text is easy to read with no eye strain. It is an amazing upgrade from my previous monitor which cost just as much as this at the time it was purchased. I only wanted to use this as a monitor and would have bought it if that was all it was capable of doing, so the fact that it is also a smart TV makes this deal a steal.
However, it was not smooth sailing from the beginning. For a few days I thought I got a sour deal. I was experiencing a lot of screen tears (google "screen tears" if you don't know what this is) in the beginning. Since I got this monitor to go along with a new AMD Ryzen 2700X build I didn't know if the screen tears were a result of the monitor or my new pc build. My old pc used integrated graphics and my new pc uses discrete graphics so lots of variables were being introduced. I tried an old computer monitor with my new pc and there were no screen tears which was disheartening and really made me think using a TV as a computer monitor was a bad idea. I was prepared to give up and return the monitor, but I really didn't want to go through the trouble so I placed my hopes on the one last difference I could think of -- the computer monitor was connected via DVI while the TV was using HDMI. I did some researching on HDMI cables if they might be the cause of screen tears (really as a hail mary because a cable is a cable is a cable -- if the picture is going from the pc to the monitor the cable is working). By the grace of God I came across something on the internet that said I can specify the HDMI mode on the TV. I should make sure the TV was using the HDMI 2.0 mode and not an "Auto" or "1.4" mode because HDMI 1.4 doesn't have the bandwidth to support 4K at 60hz. The screen tears were a result of the data not getting to the TV fast enough due to the lower bandwidth of HDMI 1.4. I started digging into the settings of the TV and found that, indeed, there is a setting that allows one to choose between these HDMI settings: "Auto", "1.4", or "2.0". The setting was set to "Auto" and after changing it to "2.0" all screen tears disappeared and have not returned since.
