There used to be a recommended distance to be sat away from a big TV for best effect.

I see some of these huge TV's in small rooms and frankly its a waste of money, so many buy them to make up for other inadequacies. :D

Most likely to be response times, colour quality and if the pixels per inch goes up the cost goes up. It's easier for them to produce a big tv with the same amount of pixels.

Your monitor will be way better than any equivalent tv.

It might be worth doing a search for colour settings for your new TV. A forum is bound to have the best setting.

The cheap 49" 4k screen will only run up to 30Hz on a PC and will be a horrible laggy experience. Have a look at 27" 2560 x 1440 monitors, some real bargains about around 300 quid.
