I am going to purchase a new TV. My ultimate question is, should I get a 50" 4K or a 55"- 60" 10180? (I'm looking at the Visio P and M series) I consume all of my media from a desktop. Most of it will not be in 4K resolution, but I am wondering how well the conversion will be. Also, when using a TV for a monitor in the past, I have observed that text often comes out blurry or distorted making it hard to read. So, I am thinking that the upscaling to 4k might improve this?? But, I'm also worried about Windows scaling to 4k.
Is anyone using a 4k TV for a monitor?

Desktop:
i5 4650k
GTX 770
Windows 7
I will be sitting 13ft away from the TV.
I do not game all that much anymore and have no problem with gaming at 1080, as long as the screen is much bigger than the 27" IPS I'm using now.
