Guess that's what I wanted to hear after all. Many thanks. I understand the other limitations You mentioned.
Think I'll get the TV/monitor now and sometime next year when I buy a desktop pc I'll make sure to get a Nvidia 960 or better to reap the most out of the monitor.
I don't plan to have any other monitor anytime soon. In the future if I decide to trade another instrument it will be for swing trading. As a matter of fact I don't know how You Guys can handle the info overload daytrading several instruments over multiple monitors. But if I understood correctly you're relegating your set up due to connectivity issues and maybe viewing issues (angle/bezel etc) but You recommend the TV as a single monitor?
I'm still undecided between the curved or flat panel. Do You think that'll matter in case I eventually decide to mount it on the wall?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Found that my laptop's HDMI port will cap resolution to 1920 and any Hdmi port before September 2014 won't be 2.0, 4k displays with displayport are very few https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_4K_monitors,_TVs_and_projectors didn't find anything affordable that I liked also it seems like laptops may not be compatible with some external higher resolution displays.
Minimum requirements seems to be an I5 desktop pc with a GTX 970 I'll just wait till I can build this properly.
I use this trick for my 50inch 4k using an older HP ProBook 5330m I had no use for with only Intel HD 3000 graphics. Its a smidgen of complete width at 3840 (perfect though) and 24Hz has a little flicker (I'm the only one who sees this..fast eyes) but it works fine the 'big picture' trading screens.
"It is possible to do UHD (3840x2160P) using this chip by being careful to stay under the maximum HDMI dot clock.
Using CustomModeApp:
Front Porch H=48 V=3
Back Porch H=80 V=23
Sync Width H=32 V=5
Active H=3840 V=2160
Scan Rate V=25
It relies on the screen supporting 24Hz refresh rates as most UHD screens will. 24Hz is used by Blue-ray in film mode.
Dot Clock for these HDMI settings is 221MHz which is below the hardware maximum of 225MHz

No, the office and my workspace in this rent house are no good. I'll post plenty of pictures once the new house is completed, I post pictures there almost every day of the construction.
Hey thanks Rory but there's always a little something that is particular to your system every time I pretend I'm a geek and tried advanced tweaks I end up getting burned and having to research for a week or so on how to fix the problems that I created in the first place lol.
Did a little research yesterday it seems like a decent I7 desktop with the 40" 4k can be done at about $2k I'll just wait a few months wife is on a Christmas shopping spree right now lol.
