I have the Seiki SE39UY04 TV that I'm using as a monitor. I don't really mind that it only runs at 30Hz at full resolution, even after almost 3 months of using it, and Skyrim looks awesome at 4k resolution, especially with the "Skyrim HD" mod. However, I've run into some issues:
1. There's some text that says "LEVEL UP" near the lower right. I've seen that in YouTube videos of Skyrim at 4k, so I know I'm not the only one getting that. I'm willing to put up with it, but if anybody knows a way to get rid of it (short of reducing resolution), that would be nice. I've emailed Bethesda tech support about this, but they said "Unfortunately, the game does not support resolutions higher than 1920X1080 @ 60Hz." I'm tempted to question why higher resolutions show up in the configuration if that's true (I had it running at 2560x1440 with no problems before I got the 4k TV)
2. With vsync on, the loading screens were taking 30-40 seconds when running at full-resolution. I think this had to do with the 30 hz refresh. I could get the same effect at 1920x1080 by setting vsync to "adaptive (half refresh)", and I fixed it by disabling vsync in the nVidia control panel, but that introduced the next issue.
3. With vsync off, sometimes it would briefly act like I was swimming even though I was thoroughly on solid ground. This caused problems if I was sneaking and/or had a drawn bow (because unlike the previous 2 Elder Scrolls games, Skyrim doesn't allow fighting while swimming 🙁 ). This seemed to happen super-often in and near Lost Valley Redoubt.
4. I tried adding "iFPSClamp=60" to Skyrim.ini, which stopped issue #3, but when I tried to pick up an item or loot a corpse it would act like I had held down the activation key instead (the item/corpse would move when I moved the mouse)
I'll play at 1920x1080 60Hz vsync on for now to avoid these issues, but I'm not really happy with it as a long term solution. Can anybody help me to get it running well at 3840x2160? I can't justify buying a 3840x2160 60hz monitor at this time, because 1. It hasn't been that long since I bought the 4k TV, 2. one of those would cost more than my current high-end enthusiast system including the screen.
Also, this TV is supposed to support 1920x1080 120Hz (takes the same bandwidth as 3840x2160 30hz) over HDMI with a firmware update, though I'm not sure the firmware update has actually been released yet. I'm curious if anyone can confirm that 120hz doesn't run into issue #3.
