Both Desktop Monitor and 4k TV
I use as both a Desktop Computer monitor and TV. The colors and clarity POP and it has the correct capability so Text doesn't blur like other 4k LED TV's. This is a winner at a very competitive price.

Best 4k Tv
Best 4k definition, I love it! It brings game mode into beautiful play with the high quality picture. Sound on the device and all of the different included applications, is amazing, brining a theater feeling when hosting movie night with the family. I also love the feature of being able to connect my apple devices with the AirPlay ability. The full motion mount for my tv was not included, but I love that I can swivel it in any direction to enjoy all of the amazing features.

Good deal for the money
The picture's great. Google TV as the OS is a big plus, you know? It's got tons of channels on its TLC Plus thing, like Pluto or Samsung TV Plus. This TV has a bunch of picture and sound settings. Oh, and the interface is super easy to use. The only downside is that the colors get weird if you watch it from a weird angle, but who does that, right? You can add it to Google Home and control it from there. It's perfect for the price.
