Are 4k tvs bad for gaming?

Increasing resolution to 4K puts a huge strain on a PC graphics card. While you may be able to run it with your current rig, you might have to reduce all the image-quality settings. A game you could play with all of the graphics options maxed out at 1080p might only be playable with medium or low settings at 4K.

Are 4k tvs expensive?
You'll also notice that 4K TVs come with radically different price tags—some can be had for as little as $350 while others run upward of $2,000, even when the screen sizes are comparable. Those price tags indicate a very real difference when it comes to the product's performance in your living room.

What is 4k vs 8k gaming?
The successor to the 4K display resolution is 8K resolution. 8K resolution has four times the number of pixels as a 4K display while 8K TV has a resolution of 7680 x 4320, so an 8K screen will be able to show images with much more detail and clarity than a 4K TV. The first 8K TVs were introduced at CES 2019.

Is high refresh rate or 4k better for gaming?
It depends on what games you are playing. If you are going to play competitive online games, you'll want the 120Hz monitor. If you aren't playing competitively the 4K monitor will look better.

Does 4k look bad on 8k tv?
4K is already beyond the limit of your ability to see at a reasonable viewing distance. A video in 4K will look like 4K in a 4K TV and like a 4K in an 8K tv as well. It will just be blown up (scaled) to that resolution. It will not make it any better or higher resolution than it already is.
