Problem is they made it so legal content (shows and movies) you buy only play 480p when you play them on PC. They force you to use the TVs built in app for 4K.
I've literally got the Vizio POS they show in the pic from 1/2026 running @ 1920x1440 or whatever... certainly NOT 480.... I'm not a 4k/8k snob, so 1920 or whatever is fine by me...
However, YMMV - because they probably stock different stores with whatever slop tyry can get away with...
It'll run at 1920x1080 or perhaps even 3840x2160 but YouTube movies, Netflix, will refuse to play at anything higher than 480/720p when viewed on most PCs
Now that you mention it... I had an old, slow PC after i bought that Vizio and the Samsung died... and it wouldn't display or transmit sound correctly over HDMI. I was ready to pull my hair out..New fanless i5 PC with plenty of RAM - everything runs great no problem. So you gotta make sure your PC is fast enough for whatever reason...
