PC VRS XBOX-X EYECANDY

So my question:)
How much of a visual increase or decrease will I have going from that setup to sitting maybe (2 to 3ft?) away from a high end($1000-1500) high 150FPS, 32 to 35" 21:9(wide) screen monitor????
I know the refresh rate will be amazing, but wondering more about the difference in actual eye candy that will or will not be seen in comparison???
In all honesty, unless u NEED the high refresh rate and smaller screen size, if you have a budget like that for a VDU, get a 4k OLED 55".
Now as for you specific example. If the monitor your describing is 4k aswell, then the PPI will increase to make up for the fact ur sitting closer than with ur TV which has a lower PPI.
The main difference in eye candy will come from the specific game and the available settings.
The vast majority of games available on Console and PC are ported from the console, so despite having additional settings available it ill be more limited than a game made for the PC initialy. Still, a maxed out ported game on the PC will still look vastly superior to a console game, expecialy when it comes to the amount of alaising present (jaggies).
The other difference u may notice is input lag.
A "cheapo" TV without 'proper' game mode support to reduce input lag, will have noticable input lag vs a gaming monitor, which will have minimal or no inpuit lag. Generaly speaking a good TV will have around 20ms input lag in game mode, a bad one will have over 50ms. try find a review that tests the input lag for the TV u have/getting.
As for the monitor, if its an IPS panel, you will likely notice what is calleed IPS glow, coming from a tv which is VA, this can be ether very noticable or not noticable at all, dpends on the person. There is also a sort of lottery on how much IPS glow and/or backlight bleed you will get, ou might get one with alot, or very little.
There are a few monitor available that are VA, which i would personaly go for over IPS or TN, to avoid IPS glow, and washed out colors from TN's. VA has better contrast aswell.
