Is this for watching video, gaming or something else?

For gaming and videos it would be fine but, make sure your computer is powerful enough to use a 4K tv

 

[sizzling]

Cheap 4k TV's usually have bad input lag which is a problem for gaming

 

[young707]

not for gaming.
just for use for PC computer use.
May be occasionally watching video online, such as Youtube
but just to replace small old 28" 1680 x 1050 resolution monitor

Do I need new higher resolution graphic card?
I have i7 16GB Windows 7. Thanks.

I am running Windows 7 at 64 bits. Check my system display adapters are
Intel HD Graphics 3000
Nvidia GeForce 6200 LE do not know if this has 128MB or 256MB memory.
how do I find out what is maximum resolution this graphic card supports?

 

[young707]

What graphic card with much much memory should I get?
To take advantage of the 4K 39" TV for use as monitor at maximum 3840x2160 resolutions, what kind of low end graphic should I get?
Will be using for typical PC / text editing / email and sometimes youtube video. No gaming.

I have the Seiki running on an Intel 3000 series HDMI port.

Intel Custom Resolution settings (use at your own risk):

Horizontal Vertical
Front Porch 48 3
Back Porch 80 23
Sync Width 32 5
Active 3840 2160
Scan Rate 54.775 25
Total 4000 2191

Works for writing software, kinda choppy for Netflix.

We have 4 HP Z800 workstations and bought 4 of the Seiki SE39UY04 UHD TVs to use as monitors. 3 of our systems have no problems, run at 3840x2160 and come out of sleep mode just fine. The last system always reverts to lower resolution and requires a restart to restore the 3840x2160. We tried everything and then realized that the working system are Windows 10 and the problem system is Windows 7. The problem system also had a ASUS GTX970 Strix video card, while the working systems had ASUS GTX 660Ti and ASUS GTX 760 video cards.We swapped the GTX660Ti into the Windows 7 system and it now works properly.
