4k tv

Don't really pay much attention to TVs but from what I've seen from Samsung they have been doing pretty good. The TVs they showed off at I think MWC15 looked brilliant!

I've never really considered a TV for PC gaming, I would always recommend a monitor personally but I think monitors only go up to about 34" which is probably way too small haha. The post processing on TVs tend to make their response times much higher than even the cheapest monitors.
I don't notice any lag playing on my TV. I only play on my TV. I have the image duplicated with my monitor. But this is 1080p.
My TV in fact has a gaming mode to deal with lag (at the expense of something else I can't remember what), but I've never felt the need to use it.

what model do you have?
I looked into 4k TV's when looking to upgrade my TV.
In fact I done a lot of research on it, and the truth is, unless you want to pay a small fortune I wouldn't bother with a 4k TV yet, all the entry level TV's and some of the Mid level TV's are pretty poor at true 4k.
I also found a nice article that helps with deciding if you actually would benefit from a 4k TV, it all depends on viewing distance and angle, Take a look at this article in regards to this http://www.rtings.com/info/4k-ultra-hd-uhd-vs-1080p-full-hd-tvs
In the end I got the Samsung UE40H6400 Active 3D Smart LED 40"
Because of how big my lounge was, 4k was marginal improvement, and would of been about £800 more expensive to even get a remotely decent one.
Hope this helps!

I think the model is discontinued, the newer version may be better (although I have no issues with mine) and is cheaper.
Just 1080 though, not a 4K option.

I was thinking of the HU8500 55" Samsung but I read a few reviews indicating some lagging when gaming. The JS9000 is a 2015 model that seems to be good for gaming but around £1000 more. The link you provided was very helpful and some of the comments favour HUD TVs, I rather pay extra if it makes a difference but still unsure.

I would stay away from Samsung TVs and Monitors, they tend to have bad colour contrasts compared to other manufacturers
When I saw my Samsung TV among all the other TV's in the shop it looked by far the worst. The factory settings are bad, but my TV has extensive adjustment options and you can make the picture look very good. Video games via HDMI looked great from the start, the default is not colour precise but it makes the image pop in a very nice way. It's not like my well balanced monitor that I use for photo editing, but the TV looks a lot better for games.

Samsung are still one of the top panels. Last I looked into it all, a couple months ago it was in the below order to quality panels.
Sony
Samsung
LG
......
I am not sure if this is classed as advertising competition or anything but try avforums, I go there often when I need comparison or advice on purchases for TV's Players etc, there are some dedicated threads on specific models with calibration information and everything. Very handy place.

65" Damn I am jealous, I only just managed to persuade the GF to move up to a 40" form our 32" we had in the lounge, silly thing is, TV design from the last couple years have massively reduced the frame size required to hold the panel. My 40" TV is about the same size as my 32" was as the frame on it was so big!
If I had gone and actually physically seen one in Currys or something I would of tried to go for a 50" instead
Maybe next time!

It is great! the picture image is wayyyy better than anything I have seen. 3D movies are also better than on my Asus monitor. Netflix has some great 4k content and just ordered a few movies remastered in 4k. Looking forward in upgrading my pc to do some gaming there.
