IGN's Podcast Unlocked this week started with a pretty interesting discussion around 4K TV's and what you should know before buying one specifically for the Xbox One S or Scorpio.

Well worth a listen.

So would this tv be ok for the Xbox One S...it has HDR PRO which I think is HDR10..

Had a quick look at their website:

Select LG’s 2016 4K televisions support HDR10, which we call HDR Pro, because they provide full compatibility with this new standard while also assuring outstanding LG picture quality.

I don't have a 4K tv, and probably won't for a couple of years, but as far as I can tell, that TV should be good to go with Xbox One S.

I wont be looking at a 4K display till the scorpio rolls around, but I'm leaning towards buying a gaming monitor when I do.

the question I'd have is whether or not I'd be wasting my time - a 32" display is as big as I'd want to go. I have a 50" plasma at the moment and its just that bit too big for the room. I'm going to move to a more traditional computer setup at the end of next year (as in a proper desk and chair)

Weirdly enough, that set up is probably where you'd easily get the best out of it. With a gaming monitor, you're usually sitting about a meter away, so you're getting the most out of the resolution.

You can check out the optimal distances here

The same with curved monitors, sitting a meter away is the only time a curved display makes any sense.

looks like the 500gb and 1tb One S arrived Aug 23rd in the states, I wonder when it will land here

The last few posts were exactly what I was looking for, really helpful!
I'm on a bedroom set-up, so not much more than a metre from the screen.
Thanks guys!!

I'm pretty much the same as you. A 32" monitor is probably the max I'd be willing to go for. Anything else would be overkill to me. I think I'll wait til the Scorpio rolls around because we'll have a better idea of 4K TV's and hopefully in January sales in 2018, models will be a bit cheaper.

Obviously the higher end pricing of current models would be expected to support whatever it is Scorpio has to offer but I think 18 months from now is when we'll know a hell of a lot more about 4K and technological advances.

Back in 2015 Sony had the best input lag. They lost out a bit to Samsung in 2016. Generally the high end Samsung stuff (7500 to 9000 series) now has the lowest input lag of all 4K TV's. Any other model I've seen is unacceptable for gaming.

This lists input lag on TV's. Notice the massive difference when you don't enable game mode. I'm surprised Sony TVs come in 3rd, I definitely remember a review about a year ago saying a Sony TV had 12ms lag. But I can't find the review.

Obviously there is more to the TV than lag, even when it's just for gaming. I'm not sure at what point Lag becomes a real issue.
