New 4k TV as monitor questions

My PC monitor is an LG 34UM95 connected to my PC via display port.

Yesterday I purchased a 4k TV (Vizio m55-c2) and hooked it up via HDMI to my PC. (Mainly for movies/videos/4k gaming).

My graphics card is an EVGA GTX 980 Classified and I'm running Windows 10.

Yesterday and this morning the 4k TV was looking blurry with jagged edges while my 1440p monitor looked crystal clear.

I tinkered around in the NVIDIA Control Panel changing resolutions but nothing could fix it.

Then today after a restarting my PC my 4k looked crystal clear and my 1440p displayed nothing.

Then I restarted again and now both are crystal clear but my 1440p has extremely large desktop icons like a 720p monitor would. But it's in 1440p native and everything looks crystal clear except for very small text (on the 1440p). My 4k is running perfectly now.

 

Am I being a complete noob, are you not supposed to mix 4k and 1440p monitors? Or possibly HDMI and Display Ports?

Am I supposed to do something specific for this setup for everything to work properly?
Thanks!

Make sure all of the monitors are set to the resolution first lol

 

Windows 10 Kinda hates Nvidia right now, so that could also be a cause. I have a 4K monitor (DP)  while my 1080p one is on HDMI. So I don't think mixing resolutions are a huge problem. 

Also don't go into the control panel, try the windows control panel to see if that helps.

a tv is not optimized for fast changing colours like in pc games. movies have a constant framerate (most times 30fps), games often vary in frametimes and most times have faster colour changes so it 'll be blurry on a tv if the tv isn't capable of changing colours that fast
