PC 4K 43" monitors

<< < (7/18) > >>

Kjelt:
Bought a Philips monitor 43" 4k about seven years ago, 2 hdmi and 2 dp inputs.
Distance 85cm.

My experience:
-  for gaming it is great. Played RDR2 for many hours enjoying the landscape on a horse  ;)
- For desktop work I would now go a step smaller like around 34-36" because it is a nightmare moving the mouse and if you make the mouse go faster you are searching where it went.

Also the 4 window mode (four full hd screens) it just doesn't work for me. Perhaps great for security guards watching cameras ir stockbrokers watching the markets, for windows, linux it becomes too small to do actual work.

So if I had to rebuy today I would go for a step smaller but definitely bigger than 30".

I downgraded from a 34" 4K monitor to a 23" 1080p. The eyestrain was intense and painful! Was the screen real estate nice? Yes! Would I do it again? Absolutely NOT!

Well, it's academic now.  I bought a "used" philips.    It came down to Brand new illyama or S/H philips with HDR1000 etc.  Just hope it's not scruffed or marked on the screen!

The price is pretty good. 43" is huge, but whatever floats your boat!

Amazon warehouse is usually pretty good, and you can send it back for no reason anyway (although shipping could be fun).

Do let us know how you get on with it :)
