Problems with my 4k TV

[bossgg]

Hello guys,

I just bought a LG 55UH615A 4k HDR tv for $500 at cosco. Should I spend half of its price ($250) to have a guy at bestbuy to calibrate my TV, or is there another way to calibrate it to have the "best" quality?

Second problem:

I'm NOT a gamer, but I do enjoy watching Dota2 and CS:GO on Twitch tv. Right now I connect my Asus UX303UA via Monster - Platinum Line 4K UltraHD HDMI Cable and having 200 mbps internet speed from Comcast. 

When I watch live stream with 1080p60 resolution on my laptop it runs smooth, but when I connect it to the TV the content starts to lagging and unwatchable (even at 720p30). Only with Live stream tho, youtube videos and netflix and anything else run smoothly. So the problem here is my laptop being too weak, right? Im planning on building a pc with latest i7 and gtx1080 to push all the pixel to the TV (considering i5, but will i5 bottleneck the gtx1080 and im still cant watch the videos?) 

Yes Im dumb, and trying to be as specific as I can here, so help me out guys, give me some advices, Im really appreciate it.

Don't pay that guy, that is absurd. Have a look for reviews online theres usually youtube videos of guys explaining what settings they used to get the best settings. Also check out AVSforums. 

 

As for the lagging im not sure what is going on there, if the laptop can run 1080 fine it should run it fine on your TV (your TV will handle the upscaling) 

 

If you're gonna game and can fit the i7 in the budget I definitely recommend it (see my purple text)

That's only true if he's outputting at 1080p, but when he plugs in his laptop it will change the resolution to 4k (native) not just upscale 1080p. He'd have to manually set the resolution back down to 1080p in his display settings.

Calibration largely doesn't make sense in the home.  Is it a scam?  No.  It's valuable when targeting specific results.  If you are working on creative projects it can be a benefit to have all screens calibrated in line.  It makes sense for a professional theater to be calibrated for uniform viewing.  But in your living room, it's a subjective experience, play with the color settings until YOU like what you see because that's what matters.  What you feel is 'ideal' may not be what the 'correct' calibration is, but what is REALLY correct is what feels right to you.

well yes, but he said it even does it @720P unless op is referring to the stream quality rather than the set res, which would mean it purely is down to the laptop hardware

I think it is pury down to the laptop hardware like u said, the res is still 1080p native when I connect the laptop to the TV, so I guess time to save for a new pc then....
