TV Questions

1. Would this be a good TV? It has a 4K resolution, 40 inches, 120Hz, and is curved. It will house a computer, a PS4, a blue-ray player, and the Cable Box.

 


 

2. Should I drop the cable box and just get Sling TV and an antenna?

 

3. Should I get the Amazon Fire Stick and install Kodi on it? Anyone have experience with it?

Do you have any 4k content you can watch, because it would be a waste of money if the answer is no, as for the other things I don't have an answer as the antenna question depends on airwave strength in your area and the amazon question is nothing I know about

be aware when they say it's 120hz...it can't be since 4K can only run at 60hz...and 1080p 120hz i highy doubt too...those tv's use interpolation to ''fake'' higher refresh rate...this is a 60hz display i'm pretty sure.

I don't have any 4K content, but wouldn't the picture quality be better? Also I am hooking up my gaming PC to my new TV, so I could run that at 4K. Would a GTX 970 be able to power 4K on a 40 inch screen?

 

I am not worried about airwaves because I live an hour north of NYC.

Thanks for that info. I have seen a few 4K TVs where they said 120Hz.

If the content isn't 4k it will not look any better on a 4k display unless some sort of filtering was done on it to make images "smoother" so I don't see the point of 4k currently, but that is just an opinion of mine, keep that in mind.

How would this TV be? I know it is only 720p but it is cheaper because I spent some of the money I had for a TV for sport events tickets.
