Firs impression. Picture quality really good, deep blacks, fast OS, pixel clear when using as PC monitor. From box needs additional colour correction.  Slim borders. For me personally, i really did not see difference in PPI beetwen my old 24" MSI monitor and this TV. So its basically works great as desktop monitor, even if you sitting close enough. But here is trick, if you use TV as monitor never open app to full screen, always do separate zones for content. Some one like to split it in half and have two horizontal wide screen. I like center oriented space.

 

Gaming expirience. Great. Just as it must be. Racing games, and online shoters great.

 

OS expirience. Nothing to say it is android. You can install any app you like. Even download pirated contents via torrents. If you want to.  And it have mic in remote. So, if you want you can activate smart home features using TV. I personally install mi home app to watch secutity cameras.

I could never go lower than 120Hz again after using mine for so long. However, that is a nice-looking solution you've got going there! Fairly budget-friendly PC monitor and doubles as a TV, what more could you want?

nice!

Have you tried a custom resolution with higher than 60Hz? Maybe you can squeeze out from more Hz.

I made custom resolution in nvidia control panel anything above 60 Hz in 4K does not works In FHD i can set 120 Hz but, in UFO test moving UFO looks exactly like in 60 Hz. So it is in specifics of TV processing.

I am also contemplating same TV for the monitor. 

mostly work, some occasional gaming (i can get more than 60 pfs in 4k, so it would be a waste...but since this thing is now on sale fpr 250 EUR, i feel heartbroken to spend at least 800 for similar size monitors (next in line is Aorus  FV43U).

 

So torn on what to do :)
