    I’ve got a 43" Aorus 4k gaming screen for my desktop. 144Hz, freesync, 2 HDMI’s a DisplayPort and a USBC. There is a 48" OLED as well, but I didn’t have the space for it at the time.

    After using a 4k 43" for a monitor for a few years, I definitely both recommend it AND wish companies would make 8k ones.

      Does anything useful even come in 8K at this point? I saw it as a spec last time I went television shopping, but it seemed like something that wouldn’t be useful for another decade.

        8K was always a lie. It’s impossible to tell the difference from 4K unless you’re too close, 4K already has more pixels than your eyes do.

          4k is about 8 million pixels. The human eye has a resolution of about 576 million “pixels” .

          I know what you mean with your comment, but the way you expressed it is factually incorrect

          I think it’s already the case for 1080p at the distance most people put their TV.

        Honestly, nah. The screen is awesome, don’t get me wrong, but the fact that I had to replace the main board after 1.5yrs, just out of warranty, means I definitely recommend people don’t buy it. Luckily I found someone on eBay that dropped theirs, shattered the screen, and sold the internal boards for $50 shipped.

        I only brought it up because it fits the requirements and I recommend the format. 4k 43"+ or 8k is goated on desktop.
