The difference is you sit very close to a monitor, whereas you generally sit further away with a tv. The point i'm trying to make is you're wasting your money buying a small sized 4K tv as you won't get the benefit of the 4k ness at normal viewing distances. I wasn't even thinking about pc monitors , my comment was about tv resolution/screen size and viewing distance.

So are you saying a 4k tv picture on a small 4k monitor would look noticeably better than a 1080p feed on the same monitor ?
