    $300 to spend: 4K Monitor vs 4K TV?

    Perhaps the thread with the worst advice I've seen. 4K is leaps and bounds better than 2K for PC use. 43 inch monitor is much better than a 28 inch monitor for me. 4:4:4 vs 4:2:0 is a real issue as colored text might get blurry. I don't have a good suggestion for 43" TV except to say, I've...

    Best CURVED 40"-43" TV available?

    Something tall, versus ultrawide would also be preferable.

    Can I use a 4K TV ? Need some forum help.

    Agree: 4:4:4 support is important. If you don't get that, then small fonts will have color distortions. If you buy instead a 43" monitor you'll have the advantages of: support for more display resolutions. With a TV you won't see your PC booting up display because the resolution isn't...

    Current 43" 4K options?

    The person who sits next to me has a Sony TV and for a while I had a Sony also and his remote would affect mine. Range is greater than 20 feet in my house. The remotes I've used can bounce off walls so I don't agree they require direct line of site. Worst of all there is an occasional...

    Current 43" 4K options?

    After some research decided on buying LG 43" from costco for $600. One of the reasons it was appealing is that it is not a TV , does not have a remote, so other people can't mess with it. Other people have Sony TVs in my area so thier remote could affect my monitor. Would have to cover up the...

    Current 43" 4K options?

    How does one decide between all of the 43" offerings which is best? For me price is an important factor. I'm not picky about color and a lot of other things discussed here. Mostly use monitor for software development, so black and white text.

    Decided to get a 40-43" 4K tv as my monitor.. Samsung JU7100 or other?

    What are you saying about Sony? It is available in 43" size 4k. I bought one from Amazon. The seiki improved their 2015 product a week after I bought. I would buy that now instead. Not good for gamers, but good for programmers. Input lag went from 300ms to 80ms with a firmware update. A...

    Seiki SE50UY04 3840x2160 50" TV ($1300)

    Agree. The 40 inch non pro is still available for $340. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889522022 I have two and wouldn't consider paying 3 times as much for pro version.

    Best monitor for reducing eye strain?

    Eyestrain is most often caused by trying to focus hard on little objects. The best monitor for eyestrain is a monitor that makes focusing easy. Get a big monitor with lots of resolution and make sure what you are reading has big text. What size monitor do you currently have? Something like the...

    Which current display for reading - any consensus?

    I think you will find that developers spend most of their days reading. Either documentation or code. Seiki 40 inch monitors got high marks from developers. In general reading puts low requirements on a monitor. It doesn't take much to display high contrast black and white text on a screen...

    Seiki SE50UY04 3840x2160 50" TV ($1300)

    What do think of the Samsung TVs for $830 versus these new Seiki's for $1K, versus the old Seiki's for $500? http://www.samsung.com/us/video/tvs/UN40JU6500FXZA

    Seiki Pro SM40UNP 40"/ SM32UNP 30"4K LED Monitors

    At 1$K the Seiki won't sell, but it will make headlines when the price drops precipitously.
