Does anyone know of video cards that can do HDMI 2.0? Most only say "HDMI" when I look at the specs, I don't want to get one unless I know it can do 2.0 (or better, if there is better?)

I would like to get a 40" 4K TV to use as my monitor. I don't really do any PC gaming, so I don't need a bleeding edge gaming card .. I mostly just want tons of screen real estate. I mostly do design work and some 3D sculpting. I don't want to run 2 different monitors, I'd rather just have one big one. I read that in order to get the best refresh rate to use a TV as a monitor I'm going to need HDMI 2.0, but I haven't been able to find any cards that specifically list it. Anyone know of any good cards worth looking into?

Thanks I'll keep that one in mind. As it happens I was just looking around on Newegg.com and saw that there were some Geforce 960's that said HDMI 2.0 so I will probably go with that since it's a little cheaper. There was a TV I was looking at on Amazon that was only $399, that's where I read about how you need hdmi 2.0 for it to work good.

What is your pc?
The integrated graphics on skylake is also capable of 4k resolution.
It is 4k at 60hz with full chroma that is the issue.
That is when hdmI2.0 and dp is neded.

30hz is fine for a relative ly static image, but for dragging windows around you might want something stronger.

I have a system from Cyberpower PC that's just under 2 years old, so I think it's the previous gen processor. My MB is an Asus Z87-K and it's given me some trouble with ram upgrades before I knew what a QVL was. Overall it's been a nice solid system though, I didn't feel the need to upgrade any of the other guts but I did just reinstall windows on a brand new SSD and now everything is super fast. I don't know why I didn't do that till now. My current video card is a GeForce GTX 750 and it's fine for the light gaming I do (like Diablo), I usually prefer my Xbox and comfy sofa when I play games though.

So yeah I'd like to be able to do 60 hz, I need it to work as good as a good PC monitor, just really big. I do lots of graphic work, and some video editing and 3d sculpting. I guess I could go with a 4K monitor rather than TV, but it seems like the TVs are generally cheaper and also have built in speakers so I can finally free up a little bit of extra desk space :)

TV's are oriented to TV performance.
If you want a monitor, buy a monitor.

I understand that seiki PRO is also a 39" 4k monitor; look for reviews on that.
The non pro version has mixed reviews.

FWIW, the Philips does have speakers though of limited quality.

Buy a discrete graphics card with displayport output for the Philips.
And, I suggest a evga card which will have a 90 day step up option so you can get full purchase price towards a stronger card if you find you need one.
Check the EVGA web site for details.

I was looking at the Seiki 4K TV that was $399.. I guess if I were to go with a monitor instead, would I be better off just using Display Port? Would that give me better performance than HDMI, and I could just keep my Geforce 750? then I could afford the more expensive monitor. $800 is probably the top end of my budget, but I didn't want to spend that much. I'm using HDMI for my current HD monitor and it's been fine, but I'm assuming this older card won't work good for 4K even though I read it can do the resolution

Not always feasible, as monitors don't tend to come in the same sizes as larger TVs, and certainly not at the same prices.
TVs do require some tweaks, and some brands are than others.
Typically, unless IPS, TVs tend to have poorer off-axis colour. However, being IPS does not guarantee they are better in other respects.
