GPU for TV

[mikefearn83]

Morning folks. 

 

Just a quick one. Looking at getting a 43 inch 4k tv for my computer. Currently running 2 27 inch monitors from a simple gt730 2gb. Don't game so there's no concerns there. 

 

I'd there anything I will need or will the gt730 works OK. Not bothered about 4k as yet, just getting to futurproof and have the options for smart features etc. 

 

Thanks in advance. Mike.

whats your budget if you dont mind me asking

budget?

 

i'm pretty sure a gt730 doesn't have the connectors neccesary for 4k (displayport or hdmi 2.0) but you could look this up. i can't because connectors vay by cards. so a gigabyte one might have different connectors than a msi card.

If you want a GPU to future proof, I would recommend either a gt 1030 or a gtx 1050

the 1050 is way better value.

Thanks folks. 

 

Don't need anything special for gaming etc. The msi 730 had dvi and hdmi do as long as the output will be sufficient for a decent HD output then that's cool. Not bothered about 4k for the computer output.

i would be bothered. if you run a lcd panel at non native resolution, it'll look fuzzy.

The msi 730 I have has a max resolution of 4068 x 2160. Would this be suitable for outputting to a single 43ish inch 4K tv. As I say no gaming will be done. 

 

Thanks.

Yep, it'll work. Apparently all versions of the GT 730 support 4K 60 Hz over HDMI (https://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-730/specifications)

Cool thank you. Do you think the picture will look OK compared to my 2 monitors. Thanks.
