I remember the laugh I got when I did boot a linux console on a 55" TV. It enabled framebuffer support and basic went to full 4K with a font which must have only been about 5mm high. |

32" monitors can be bought for reasonable prices, for example Dell S3221QS is 350$ on Amazon : https://www.amazon.com/Dell-S3221QS-Ultra-Thin-DisplayPort-Certified/dp/B08G8WMRRP/ It does have a bit of a curve, but you could get used to it. You could get 3 of these and put them on your desk, one straight in center and the other two at the sides of the center monitor. They have very thin side borders so it would be almost seamless. There's a thorough review here : https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/s3221qs |

Incidentally I purchased a 50" 4K TV for my computer a couple of weeks ago It cost me 379 Euro (LG). I was considering this move for years and now that I have it, I can say that it is amazing. It is the equivalent of four stacked 24" Full HD monitors without borders. Finally I have desktop space for all apps running in parallel. I have a second full HD monitor attached just dedicated for Outlook. The screen is not to big. I sit about 1m away and with 53 years I have to take my glasses off to see short distance. That makes using a laptop with second screen a pain. The laptop is too close and the second screen too far. With this setup, I can use glasses always. Resizing screens was a worry but it is not an issue at all. You won't want to run most windows maximised, though. But for word and Excel full screen can be amazing. I have my also new workstation connected to it and this really kicks ass. I don't mind more tha. 60hz refresh rates. This is pretty ok and so is HDR. You do need to configure the screen though, as out of the box it will render the pc image very poorly. Regards Vitor |

I swear I'd tested this before - perhaps it was 4:4:4 on my old GTX 1060 or I was fooling myself somehow. That said, I genuinely cannot see the difference on ordinary desktop content - perhaps there are some use cases where 4:4:4 is critical, but it's already the case for me at least that 4K luma is beyond my eye's apparent visual sensitivity (in other words, I cannot distinguish the individual pixels in a checkerboard pattern unless I'm closer than 2 foot to the display). |

With YCbCr 4:2:0 you may experience blurry text especially in the bottom two mixes (red on blue and blue or red) |
