and anyone else that uses a 4ktv to play computer games on. Is it possible to play computer games on a 4k tv at a lower resolution to increase the performance? Does it look good or totally fucked. Reason I am asking is with a 1080ti you are just getting around 60fps at 4k but in some enviorments like raiding it might not be able to handle that. Can you lower the resolution to increase the fps?
You could do 1080p I'm sure but I doubt anything in between.
I imagine it works fine just like watching 720/1080p content.
Most games I lower the rez to 1080p on my 65" 4k as I prefer faster fps. In a living room setting, unless Im really close to the TV it does not matter anyhow. More than a few feet away games look just great @ 1080p as 4k on my eyes. Wow looks as good @ 4k interpolated (from 1080p signal) as my old 1080p TV.
If youre shoppin for a 4k TV to possibly use for some gaming on a PC, you may want to consider a TV that supports 4k @ 60hz and chroma 4:4:4. Just be prepared to potentially compromise on input lag, pixel response etc when compared to PC monitors.
It for sure depends on the user, and the source. I just got an LG OLED 4k TV, and watching 1080p vs 4k is very noticeable, even at 10ft away. Both are gorgeous, but I can tell when its 4k. And this is coming from a guy who used to watch VHS quality SD rips of shows, "to save space".
Once in Steam Link, just go up to the power button and then click exit big picture mode or whatever. It'll then just exit out and be a picture of your desktop. Then if you have a mouse and keyboard already attached, you can just do whatever you want. Browse the web, porn, WoW, etc. Controllers won't work at that point, I assume until you get back into a game that supports controllers.
