      Pixel density is pixel density. Doesn’t matter if it’s a tv or a monitor.

      Sure monitors typically have less input lag and there are reasons one might choose a monitor over a tv, but the reverse is also true. I chose a 55" tv for my sim racing setup that sits maybe a meter from my face and there’s no problem with that setup

          Not sure what you think PPI means or how it’s calculated, but it has nothing to do with being a tv or a monitor. It’s a relationship between the number of pixels and physical size.

          A 34" 1440p monitor will have a lower PPI than a 4k TV at the same size

      Is there a reason you were so hostile with your repsonse?

      Second, according to this site which I referenced at the time of purchase for my TV, I’m at the appropriate distance for my screen size of 55 inches. The image is grainy at 1080p because a 4k screen has WAY more pixels to stretch the image over so at the recommended distance for a 4k screen you end up with a blocky image with chunky pixels. It’s fine, it’s not like its unplayable, but why would I do that when I can get just as good an experience (30hz display can only get pushed so hard) at 2k without overwhelming my hardware and have a better image as well?

      I’m not a Hardcore gamer, I’m not trying to get 9000+ fps. I mostly play tetris and my ps1 on a crt. I want my games to look the way they’re intended to, they’re art projects and I like to respect them as such. Ergo, I play them at the highest resolution my hardware can support.
