I guess i could have just bought a cable and hooked up to the 55" t.v...nahh!
Wouldn't look right as most HD TV sets have a max resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and not look right. A 4K TV would give a nice resolution & monitor like display on a panel that size, as long as the graphics adaptor in the machine could handle the resolution (4096x1716 pixels although most 4K TV's have a resolution of 3840x2160)
