43" 4k TV to replace dual 24" 1080p monitors
Posted: Wed May 29, 2019 8:22 am
I've been thinking about this for a long time but never pulled the trigger. Now, Vizio's new M series with Quantum dots, a bit of local dimming, 400 nits and a M437-G0 43" version is going to be released (it's bigger brethren went on sale last week). HDR and Wide Gamut for $400..oh my. The only thing missing is VESA Adaptive Sync.
Upsides:
- I'd lose ~ 7" of width, so less head turning.
- I'd gain ~ 10" of height. so less website/doc scrolling. woo!
- Huge improvement in image quality over my almost 10 yr old Dell G2410's.
- Big enough to run windowed games at 1080p or 1440p and still have a side webpage open.
Downsides:
- While the Dells' are old and faded, they still only use 15W ea. So, a bump up in power use (nothing published, yet. But, 43" class TVs are 40 to 80W).
- Abula will start pestering me to buy a 2160p class video card...
Unknowns:
- compatibility of games in Windowed mode (for display profile, etc..). On the other hand, it's currently just WoW and some Steam stuff like Civ).
