Most important to know the connection options on your TV so that it can connect to the graphics card.
Most tv's will have a hdmi connection.
Most any discrete graphics card with a hdmi connection is going to work.
But, that will be running at 30hz normally.
To run at 60hz, you need I think hdmi 2.0 capable tv, graphics card, and cable. There are other considerations running hdmi such as color .
The make/model of the tv would be helpful.
If the monitor has displayport, that is the way to go.

Hi @Rahnman

Welcome to the Forums!

  • Whats your budget?
  • Whats the rest of your PC's specs? Especially your PSU.
  • Are you going to game or just watch TV?

Pretty much any GPU over the past decade+ will let you watch Youtube on a 4K TV. I take it your TV has HDMI & DP? You'll want to conenct via your DP (Display Port) on your TV & via your GPU, which most, if not all newer GPU's come with at least one of.

More info please and again welcome! :)
