FPS Vs Resolution

Now I know it is not always optional to have to choose but sometimes there is little choice. I was wanting a large screen (40-55 inch large) for both gaming and movie watching. My budget does not allow to get a 4k TV running at 60Hz, but just a large FHD 60Hz or a 4k 30hz, which I have sourced for around $1000US (total upper limit). 

 

Ohh I should add this is very much a secondary screen, I have a 22inch FHD 60hz as the main. 

 

So where should I go, the High resolution or frame rate? 

 

Any suggestions would be nice.

Don't game at 30Hz. Do you have Battlefield 4? Use the gametime command in the console and set the framtimelimiter to 30 frames.....you will hate it so much.

So i would rather take the higher frame rate.

 

What I am curious about though, the Samsung U28D590D can be had for around 500 bucks. Why not go with that one? It is 4k and 60Hz.

I had the Samsung U28D590D. It was cheap and a impulse buy. It's only one of the few monitors that support 60hz at 4k at the time. BUT you need a display port connection. Playing games at 30hz was absolutely garbage.

I gave that a thought but really wanted the huge screen so a TV seemed to be the only option. hence the shitty 30hz. 

 

Everyone seems to be hold on for a few years, what about a 1080p option at a huge size?

Well if you sit far enough away and not up close you will be fine. The experience is great at about 3 meters (~9 feet) with my 42 inch TV. You don't see the little ppi.
