Back in my daze at Boeing, I had a full size drafting table in addition to the usual desk. I've always wanted a display that big. In fact, I want my entire desk surface to be such a display! The 8k monitors are progress!
This clearly calls for dual 8k displays! One as the desk (under a solid layer of glass), and one as the monitor.
Does any one else have mouse lag with giant high pixel density monitors?
Does a 8K 42 inch option exist?

I've always wondered why everybody would buy "monitors" for computer use. Isn't it the same thing as a television screen? Back then TVs used to take different inputs but everything is digital now. That checkerboard effect is certainly interesting. Someone somewhere is going to be nostalgic about this artifact someday, maybe they'll even make a shader to emulate it. I wonder what causes it and why it disappears in gam…
I've found a 43" 4k is about the right pixel size for me; a 49" 4k was too big on a desk. Fortunately, it died and I could get a smaller replacement.
I suspect a 49/50" 8k would be ideal, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
I upgraded recently, by buying a friends old Samsung Odyssey G9 49" curved monitor off him (he was emigrating). Before that I had 2 x 27" monitors, a setup I had used for ~10 years. I honestly think the curve is essential when dealing with such a wide display. The alternative would be - as article states - to set it back a little and have a deeper desk so you can actually see the edge of the screen properly. I don't…
I have the 57" version, 7680x2160. It's ... indispensable ... all my Konsoles, app windows, etc. all on one screen with no overlaps. Got it on a Samsung sale for ~$1500 IIRC, one of the best upgrades I'd ever done.
I sound like a shill, so Samsung plz hmu. $999 for a beautiful OLED monitor that fits a terminal, a browser, and 4 (font size 8...) 100col text editor windows is a gamechanger.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah it does emit a bit of heat. I think around one or two hundred watts? I haven't measured it directly. I have a mini split air conditioner in my home office.
Makes sense, also See comment about energy consumption of 8k TV above.
