Haha, no worries. I asked my lady what she wanted for Christmas last week and three days later she presents me with plans to buy an old cinema to convert into an apartment. Not a cinema monitor.. an actual building.
40 inch should be decent and practical. People forget about eye strain if most of what your looking at is not on the same plane (constant refocusing for hours is painful).
I have good eyes, near 20/20 but I must say with the 50inch 4k, when I am close enough to comfortably read 10pt text, I'm about 2-3 feet away. This is fine but the edges of the screen are very much farther away than the middle and after 8 hours my eyes are in tatters from refocusing. A very curved OLED etc. screen should improve this however...
I mostly work with 4 USB powered Asus MB168b+ 15.4 *(1920x1080) displays. 3 portrait and one landscape + laptop. Perfect sweet spot for me. the 50 inch now on the wall and just used for "big picture" charts, news etc.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I did start with a 17" laptop and 2 x 16" USB displays when I was still thinking I could easily move around the house with that set up. In reality it proved not to be enough or practical.
I went to a local Fry's to see the displays up close and the 40" seems to be the sweet spot for 4k.
I use the 20/20/20 rule.. every 20 min I look at an object 20 ft away from the displays for 20seg that will give your eyes a break and prevent eye strain.
I was including the monitor at that price.. but I like your thread good research You did there thanks for that.. it seems like I can get a lot more bang for the buck with a little $ extra. I particularly like the AMD card.. a lot better than the 980 GTX at same price. I'll definitely will be referring to your thread when I'm ready to build, I won't do it now cause knowing myself I'll end up buying everything on Paypal credit
I don't have a 4k setup but I noticed that one of Amazon.com's Cyber Monday deals is for a 4k bundle. If anyone is currently in the market for one here is the link.
