I picked up a 4k TV (Vizio D40u-D1) as a monitor after quite a bit of research a year ago and I'm quite happy with it. It's a bit large at 40", but all I had to do was adapt to thinking of it as multiple floating screens, and treat it as such, given I have the equivalent of four 1080p screens... using almost the same amount of area. My browser always occupies the lower left quadrant, and event at 1/4 of the total screen it's still 1080p, or maybe a little more since I eyeballed it and didn't dock it there. It's easy enough to make any terminal larger and then I'm essentially gaining the same benefit of high pixel density. I wanted to make sure the TV I got supported 60Hz at 4k, and had low input lag (for when I play games occasionally), so I found rtings.com[1] to be invaluable. Using a TV as a monitor has it's quirks (I turn it on separately with the remote on the desk because it's easiest), but at just over $400 when I bought it on sale ($500 now[2]) for a 40" 4k monitor that has 13ms input lag, I'm not sure how I could have done better. Edit: Had the amazon price wrong, was looking at the 1080p one. 1: https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/vizio/d-series-4k-2016 https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/vizio/d-series-4k-2016 2: https://www.amazon.com/VIZIO-D40-D1-Class-Array-Smart/dp/B01A0LGV06/ https://www.amazon.com/VIZIO-D40-D1-Class-Array-Smart/dp/B01...
