    4K Ultra Blu-Ray Internal Drive?

    My wife was upset I'd bogarted the family TV for a work monitor, so I found a sweet deal on a 49.5" Insignia 4k Ultra TV that I'm now using as a monitor instead. The resolution is pretty glorious, and with the display set to 125% I feel like I've essentially got four monitors worth of space...
