A:AnswerSimple. they are not comparable.
Televisions have image processing chips built in designed to make the image POP with image processing for perceived sharpness and satisfying color often with oversaturation. image processing in a TV can be reduced or even eliminated by using settings like PC mode, however the panel is still designed to primarily operate in the TV environment.
Comparatively, this is a Monitor designed to accurately represent the image as it is intended to be seen.
It's sort of like the difference between Blasting a speaker system with really loud bass and tweaking your equalizer curve to emphasize what you *want* to hear, compared to a studio setup with reference speakers tuned to try to represent as closely as possible *exactly* what it sounded like when it was recorded. - neither method is wrong by the way, use the method that brings you the type of enjoyment you seek. and it is the same when it comes to displays.
This is intended as a tool for color work. As an example: Often, when you print a picture, it doesn't look the same printed as it did on the screen because the colors not accurate and may seem to have shifted. or when you send your work to someone else, it doesn't look correct on Their display. (which could be the result of either one of the display's being out of calibration) Investing in a device like this, and other workspace devices to ensure your production tools are all calibrated within the same color space ensures people in a closed environment see your work as it is intended to be seen.
It's actually really neat if it's the kind of device you are specifically after. but if you are just looking for a display to watch movies and play games on, you are correct that another TV or Monitor may be a much better value for you.
I hope my reply was helpful - and which ever way you find yourself going in the future - I hope you enjoy your next display as much as I have been enjoying this one.
A:AnswerI had noticed that discrepancy as well. I verified on manufacturer website before purchase, this is a 4k display. it is native 3840x2160 and I am using mine right now and can verify - see attached
