4k TVs and computers

[fitsu]

Hi all

I hear that one of the major downfalls of a 4K tv is that unless you spend a crazy amount of money the hardware in the TV struggles to keep up with the 4K resolution (fans get load, stutters, overheats, down-scales when it can't keep up etc.)

So my question is a simple one, what if I buy one of these "cheaper" 4K tvs but then hooked it up to a PC that's specs would destroy the specs of any tv on the market? Would my PCs hardware do most of the heavy lifting preventing a lot of the issues people have put forward with such things or does it not work like that?

Thanks!

Well, it's your first post on this forum, so let's hope that if you stay on here your later posts don't cause as much head-scratching. Before someone who knows a lot about PCs (not I!) answers, it would help to be precise in this and future questions - what do you mean by "crazy amount of money" and "cheaper 4K TVs", how much money exactly? And what size of TV are you thinking about?

The whole idea sounds barmy to me, but others may be able to make sense of it.
