It's not the size of the screen, but the resolution. 22" or 42" at the same resolution is all the same for rendering by your video card. Nice pick, hope this helps and good luck.

So I assume then that a 55 inch tv is good to go as well then? I plan on upgrading that as well in the near future.

Originally posted by Nav Yup! It's not the physical size that matters, just the resolution. it could be a 100ft screen for all that matter, as long as the resolution is 1080p.

Ok so for the bonus round, is a 4k tv worth it visually for pc gaming? If the answer is yes, what rig would you recomend to have solid frame rates in 25 man raids? I don't want to have to upgrade for a while if i can avoid it and 4k tvs are not mainstream just yet...

Thank you!
