So HDMI 2.0 is seeing product launches, which means 4K@60Hz finally. Is there any good reason I can't hook one of these up to a monster gaming rig and start 4k gaming? What's the benefit of using a "proper" monitor? DisplayPort is one thing, and all the large (30"+) 4K monitors have professional grade color reproduction, but anything else to factor in?

e.g.
50" 4K TV w/HDMI 2.0 $1k - http://www.vizio.com/p502uib1.html
32" 4K monitor w/DP $2k - http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/monitors/LU32D97KQSR/ZA
 
Just because a TV has HDMI 2.0 doesn't mean it can actually handle a 60 Hz input at the video processing layer. The Vizio product page for example obliquely refers to its actual input refresh rate, leading me to believe that it is actually a 30Hz input. I'd be really careful about buying such a TV without independent confirmation that it's 60 Hz capable.
