So you are using the 55 inch with Sonar??? How does it work and how are YOU using it?

Hey Dana, just to be clear I am not using the TV with my computer, so I do not have specific feedback for use with SONAR, sorry :(
 
I remember seeing BobF had posted buying a 4K display to use with SONAR (not sure what size), so he might be someone to specifically PM if another doesn't pop in here for you.
 
Unless you are going to watch movies, etc., from your computer, the OLED may be extreme overkill for your purposes; but you would know that better. SONAR itself is not know for "amazing contrast" or the need for high refresh rates.

Hi Travis! I'm in Post Falls, next to Coeur d'Alene... Hope we're neighbors!

Hey Met! My thinking on OLED is it can't hurt and will be better for working on video down the road... Which I've always wanted to get into and now have the funds and time to explore! Oh, and yea, watching The Expanse would be amazing...

Gotcha, if you intend to do video editing in the future, then you will notice a difference with the OLED.
 
A couple quick threads @4K TVs used with SONAR:

The first one has quite a few helpful posts in it (and you can see others from here who use them). One comment that caught my eye in that thread was "The 49" tv is overkill," but this is also dependent on how far away you will be/not wear glasses while using. I got lasik done almost 20 years ago now, so forget the "blind as a bat" days; but if I hadn't gotten that done I could probably sit 3 feet from a 65" TV and be happy as a clam

Dang it! I'm at the other end of the state where they filmed the movie classic "Napoleon Dynamite" - 6 miles from the Utah border.

Oh well... Sir, that's aways!
Mettelus... Thanks 4 all ur thoughts and the links... Yes, it's all relative regarding size! And my eyes yearn for bigger and the latest tech is in the 55 to 65 range. As no one seems to have posted about the new stuff yet, I'll just go with my gut and the important thing is... They work!

Will likely do this once I get the new studio up and running full speed and have decided on graphics card and have given some thought to video production tools.

If you use this calculator ( http://kingscalculator.com/en/other-calculators/pixel-density-calculator ) it will help you size your 4K display to prevent having to use Windows scaling.  A properly sized 4K display is a thing of beauty as long as you leave scaling at 100% (1:1).
 
My 4K is a 43" VIZIO designed to be used for TeeVee, PeeCee and casting from mobile devices.  As far as the display is concerned, it doesn't matter where the signal is coming from.
 
Keep in mind the comment above about monitor speaker placement.  With a 43" display, mine ended up pushed wider.  The result is the sweet spot is back a little further, or your spread is a bit wider than standard.  Workable, but something to consider when putting it all together.

Thanks, Bob... I guess I'm misstating the scaling issue... What I meant to convey is that for me the larger screen {55 in } will spread the 4k over the larger surface area which is great for my 67 year old eyes. Placing it further away where my eyesight excels is ideal

My thought on the new OLEDs is they have fantastic edge to edge clarity and off center viewing. Don't plan on "scaling" windows.

Thanks for all your thoughts! New studio setup is beginning to take shape as I just received my mega Sweetwater shipment of things I only dreamed of before!

Glad I didn't order a computer upgrade given Intel's recent announcement! Plus, on the video front I seem to be falling in love with final cut X, and might actually add my first Apple products to my life (never thought this would occur)

I only mentioned scaling because I've seen a lot of complaint about things being too small with 4K, so people up the scaling in Display Settings.  The results aren't pretty.
 
In your case, going to 55", I doubt things will be too small.  But you might overshoot to too large.  That's where the PPI calculator comes in handy.
 
Using the calculator it's pretty easy to figure out what size display you need to increase the physical size of screen objects by whatever percentage you desire.

Thanks Bob... before I make the move I'll definitely do that!
