Hi all. I am new here, and joined solely because I was fortunate enough to have stumbled upon the ServeTheHome Youtube Channel, and watched
"Lenovo ThinkStation P330 Tiny Review". I darn-near fell out of my chair while watching this video, because it seemed that ServeTheHome would be exactly the resource I have been looking for for about 2 years now.
My issue seems simple, but now matter how many different resources I ask, I never get the same answer twice.
I am looking for the best graphics card for a PC to display the highest quality 4K UHD HDR to my QLED Smart TV.
Now here's the major point: I AM NOT A GAMER. Never have been, never will. I want to stream, watch, download, purchase (whatever) video from services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, You Tube etc on my PC and view them in the highest quality possible (of course to the limits of the display's capabilities). I have been buying a new Smart TV every 1.5 to 2 years, and expect that to continue well into the future. Therefore the quality and capabilities of these future displays will advance.
My current and wayfully under equipped PC is a Dell Inspiron 3668 (Win 10) i5 7400 CPU (Kaby Lake), and the absolutely horrible Intel HD 630 integrated graphics. While it will provide the 4K, it will not support HDR.
I want to purchase a new PC as soon as I can get a reliable answer to this question:
What is the best graphics card I could buy to view the highest quality 4K UHD HDR sources, as well as doing some light video editing. NO ONE has been able to give me a suitable answer.
I went to the geniuses working (don't want to name names), at a store that sounds amazingly like Best Buy), told the comatose salesman what I was looking for, and took the unit home. I promptly returned the unit that day when I checked the specs out, and it was a gaming PC, no more than 1080 output.
I gave them a second chance, why not, and this time spoke to a second (recently embalmed) salesman who sold me a laptop which did display 4K HDR, but only to the laptop's screen, despite having a video output on the unit. I am hoping for the best.
Thank you.
