Our Discussion (My Brother and I ) have been going back and forth about

1. PPI/ a 50" Sony X830C TV vs what I would buy/ ASUS PA328Q 32" 4K/UHD 3840x2160 IPS
2. A 4:4:4 Ratio for the TV and Why It would Benefit him? The Sony Has the Capability due to an Update
3. Again, the PPI on a 50" Screen vs a 31" Screen
4. Actual Computer Monitor Benefits Vs a TV
5. Upscaling from 1080p on a PS4 to the X830C TV.
6. Buying "New" Hdmi Cables to Support 2.0 Hdmi To transfer data from PS4/PC to Tv

The Input Lag on the Sony Bravia he has is 36.8ms/ Response time is 15.5ms

Link For Asus Screen

Can you Assist me?

I use my 55" Samsung 8550 4k TV for my cable, PC, and PS3 (blueray). The main reason I got it is for convenience and size. I hate gaming with a screen 2 feet away, and I have everything routed through my HDMI receiver, so cable management is a breeze. Even though its 4K capable, I still play most games in 1080 and the up-scaling looks amazing. I cant really comment on the PPI or Color ratios, and I'm not sure about the monitor, but my TV has a lot of picture settings to play with.

If you were comparing the TV to a g-sync monitor, I would say there is a huge difference. I'm thinking you wont see a noticeable difference between the two you picked, so I recommend getting whatever will work best for where you want to use it. If you use a desk get a monitor, if you need a new tv and like to sit on the couch, bet the TV.

Sorry I cant be more help.

No I wouldn't compare the TV to a gysnc, just non Gsync monitor.

Sony Bravia all day long. The monitor mentioned is a 32" IPS so you're asking for an annoying amount of IPS glow. The Bravia uses a VA panel that has significantly better black levels (IPS blacks can seem dark grey instead of black), and well over 3000:1 contrast (with local dimming disabled) compared to the IPS having only 1000:1 thus making the IPS look washed out. As for response time, well I've played games on an inferior VA TV (a more generic Vizio one) and the amount of motion blur doesn't bother me, nor is there any visible ghosting or image trailing.

Pixel density is better on the monitor since it's smaller, but the Bravia will still look a thousand times better due to the greatly superior panel.

Considering the TN Panel of the Asus PB287Q (2160p) that is about 460$ with a Response time of 1ms (GTG), how would that compare.

Not to mention the Sony Bravia is 800 + Tax

I take it you listed the wrong model number since the PB278Q is a 27" 2560 x 1440 PLS monitor (aka IPS). TN is the last panel type I'd go for though. It will look worse than IPS due to inferior color accuracy and even worse contrast, but at least it won't have IPS glow. Also you may see visible gamma shift/color shift due to the terrible viewing angles of TN.

I have changed it to the PB287Q. Does that change anything about your opinion?

If the Sony Bravia has an X1 chip, will a ps4 game be scaled to Native 2160p?

To me that doesn't make much sense. How could it do that?

It may upscale the game but I doubt the difference is as significant as they suggest. Maybe you can tell us about it soon.

I went to his house this past monday and Played FIFA 2016, Watched NHL 2016 being played and we hooked up the Parvum (With a 780SC).
The Results were.... Well lets just say, either I am trying to be skeptical because the Tv was 800$ and I am trying to find justification of the purchase still. Fifa did Look a tad greener but nothing that was jaw dropping.
