<=55" 4k TV for pc games, playing in 1080p@120hz (with the help from nvidia's integer scaling)?

[DG25]

Looking for a cheap native 4K TV that i can game on at 1080p resolution with 120 Hz refresh rate and acceptable input lag. Will use the new integer scaling option in nvidia's panel, so the image won't be blurry (in theory, haven't tried it).

VRR/freesync is not a requirement because those models are expensive. I would just settle for 120 fps gaming in 1080p with 120Hz support from the 4k panel.

This won't be a desktop replacement, just for some couch non-competitive PC gaming.

You can't do that.
When you use gpu scaling it scales to the display's native resolution on the gpu and sends it to the display.
That means you need enough bandwidth for a 4k120hz signal and no gpu has hdmi 2.1 yet.

Oh... Didn't thought about that! So what you're saying is i can only use 1080p@120Hz if i let the TV do the scaling (since the GPU will send 1080p signal), and that's not an option because tv scaling sucks. Bummer. Thanks so much for the clarification!

So that only leaves me with the option of 1080p@60Hz on 4k, with integer scaling.

For people who have tried it, i'm curious what looks best between 1080p (with integer scaling) and 1440p (scaled to full screen, but with normal interpolation, since 2160p is not 2x 1440p, like 1080p is) on a 4K TV.
