Single 43" 4K monitor here and I'm not going back to anything smaller in the future. It was a bit of a compromise for me in terms of game performance (I'd have preferred 144hz over 4K really but less than 4K at this size would be poor). For the first time ever I feel like I always have enough screen space. The big advantage over an ultrawide for me is that I have a lot of vertical space, which is great for code. It's basically 4x 1080p displays in a 2x2 grid.

What monitor do you have exactly? Looking to potentially get one myself.

  I have the LG 43UN700, and I paid about 700GBP at the time, I think. Brief review: I love it. Particularly excellent for photo editing (it's so huge I have to zoom out sometimes) and programming. There is a slight visual oddity on the very outside 1/2px caused by the viewing angle of the pixels out there, which I think they'd only solve by curving it - personally I only even noticed it because a reviewer mentioned it. I also wish all the HDMI ports were 60Hz (2 are, 2 are 30Hz) but that's just a nitpick. I play games on it too and it's generally very enjoyable. It has un-advertised FreeSync support, interestingly, which I find works well with my AMD card under Linux, but it does have a very limited range of like 60-70 I think. There's a different setting on my Linux drivers whose name I can't remember that basically means as long as you're over 60FPS you'll never see any screen tearing, which I can attest works for me with it. The stand is very solid, and the speakers are decent too. I love that it comes with a remote for operating it. It's so much better than using the nubbin under the display. The input splitting modes are really quite good, surprisingly. Being able to display 4 inputs in a 2x2 grid is awesome, although I use a tiling window manager so I don't really use it much. If you were feeling particularly adventurous you could attach 4 inputs from a single machine and it'll recognise it as 4 separate displays :D
