I love your terminology of Comically Large Display and shall use it always. I keep threatening to drag our 55" Sony main TV into my office for work from home usage. I actually tried using it as a display for my Raspberry Pi once, it was fantastic. Though I hate to think of the computing power differential between the two devices.
The 43" LG monitor you mention is really tempting, especially considering pricing on the 32" 4K IPS monitors I was just looking at. Do you have any advice/caveats for prospective buyers?
- eyelidlessness 5y agoMy advice/caveat is: it’s effectively the same as a massive multi-display setup, and has most of the same challenges. The display I chose is about the same pixel density as a 27” 1440p, which works great at the same arm’s reach, but it means you have a much larger area of focus. That’s ergonomically awful if you’re craning your neck. For me, this display was only half useable when I first got it, because it was elevated like my 27”. Once I set it lower on my desk, I felt a lot more comfortable using more vertical space. Even still, I ignore about 1/4 of the horizontal space because it would require too much neck rotation to use comfortably. Of course YMMV!
