So I did end up buying a 4K TV to use as a monitor, pretty pleased for the money. But what I didn't comprehend is that moving 4k @60hz in full 4:4:4 requires something called an 'active' converter, which I assume means it has some sort of power for doing the convertion between the two different signals. I'm seeing some cables with an additional USB attached for power, presumably those are the ones that are truly 'active'?
Edit, it seems you can get 'active' cables without the USB element. Just going to order the Lindy one as see if it does what I want.
