Best 43" are the Sony X800D (VA) and X800E (IPS) TVs.
If response time is paramount this is a bit better than the Sony TVs. The picture quality from the Sonys is better and I believe the Sonys don't use PWM dimming, but I could be wrong on that. I think the Sonys also have some limited 120 HZ at 1080p capability.
Also, if the PIP, PWP, and KWM features are useful to you, this is much better than the Sonys.
The other 40+" monitors out there are all worse or similar to this.
Thank you for the information. I'm sorry I'm a bit of a display noob. I guess PIP = picture in picture, but what is PWP and KWM?
I don't game a lot, but the LG's GTG response time is 5ms whereas the Sony's is 12.8ms. I've never played on anything over 6-7ms, will it be very noticeable? I'm not super competitive, but I play some Overwatch and StarCraft. Also, the input lag of the Sony is 34ms for 4K 60Hz HDR, isn't that pretty bad? I'm not sure what the LG's is, they're never listed for monitors.
When you say picture quality is better on the Sony (I assume you mean the IPS version), do you mean in terms of color accuracy? That's somewhat important to me. Also, which has better blacks and less backlight bleed / near-bezel color shift?
Finally, which has better speakers? I will be using the speakers mostly for watching youtube videos and such, so they need to be decent, but not amazing.
I'm reluctant to get a TV in lieu of a monitor because I've never done that before, but if the Sony is noticeably better, then I will go with it. Thanks and sorry for the barrage of questions.
