I bought this monitor during BF, but I'm returning it. It's just a bit too big for a single display.

34" vs 43"
Once there was a real deal in front of me I did not cherish. Not until it went OOS did I learn to regret. There's no greater sorrow. If heavens would grant me another chance I would buy buy buy. If I must put down a quantity, I hope it is 10000

I'm curious to know what RFD'ers think about this monitor and incorporating it in their setup in general.
I was contemplating a long time about getting a large monitor like this for my setup, but I ended up going with a dual monitor setup.
I actually had been eyeing this exact monitor for a while -- great price, thanks OP.

Depends on your use. You are paying for 4xHDMI inputs. Do you really need this though?
If primarily using it for one laptop for work purposes, I would stick to dual monitors. Hassle trying to manage multiple windows on one screen. Windows plays very well with multiple monitors.

I recently got a super wide screen 49 inch monitor. I had a 3 monitor setup initially; now I've got a 27 inch beside the 49 inch. Best decision ever. I was initially VERY apprehensive about having such a large wide screen monitor, but couldn't be happier.
Not really; number of tools out there for Windows that resolve the multiple windows on one screen issue. Fancyzones makes it a breeze now to snap applications to hot zones, for example.DavidF41898 wrote: ↑Depends on your use. You are paying for 4xHDMI inputs. Do you really need this though?

I might experiment with Fanzyzones to see if it changes my opinion. How would the screen ratio be on this though vs. dual monitors?
Even if the app works well, I’d still be concerned with the idea that you have one warranty/one monitor that if things go awry with it, you are taking on more risk.
Also, this thing ain’t cheap! I paid about $150 each for my monitors which are based off of Wirecutters’ budget recommendation (Viewsonic).

I had 3 monitors also, reduced it to two with buying last year's model, 43UM7300. Saves space & 4k resolution.
43UM7300 was $418 dec2019.

Ouch on some of the Amazon reviews. The ports options seem amazing but the reviews make me wary.
Some even mention the subsampling issues at which point the TCL 43 would be worth considering for the same size/resolution with less ports.
For anyone wondering, 43" is awesome as a monitor.

I got the 43in Dell, after having bought the 38in ultrawide and needing another 32in 4k beside it.. So now 3 hodgepodge of monitors at dissimilar physical sizes.
Seems big, would prefer a stand/mount that keeps he monitor flush with the edge of the desk. As even with a 38in desk it feels close.
I do review plans and found it helpful, but is it much more helpful vs the 32in 4k. Not sure to be honest.
I wish these were curved

Minor complaints:
- sits quite high on my desk; I removed the stand and bought a monitor arm
- seeming contrarily, it's just a bit too small; it's like having 4x 22" monitors - I should have gotten a 49" to have closer to 4x 24"
- there's a small amount of screen bevel at the edges, which bends/hides the picture for a couple of mm
But for the price, very hard to go wrong!
I've been using MaxTo as my tile manager and it's been pretty good.

I wonder how this compares with a 4K TV counterpart the LG 43UN7000.
Besides the obvious this is a monitor and the other is a TV. I would think they would be closely related except the TV being over $200 cheaper.
Has to be same IPS panel on both, I would expect.

It should work better than LG's 43" TVs (I have the 43UM7300 as a monitor) as it is probably able to accept 4K60 RGB at 10 or 12 bits through displayport or USB C, depending on the graphics card. (But I'm not 100% sure on that.)

I understand in all likelihood the monitor version is going to maybe have better response time and such compared to the TV equivalent. But I just mean in terms of real usage. If computer gaming, then sure, I understand you'd want the fastest response time possible. But if simply as a larger monitor for typical computer usage or working, then that really boils down to resolution, of which they would both be using the same panel and have the same 4K resolution, so why spend over $200 more for the monitor version unless one absolutely likes the single pedestal look compared to the TV legs haha.superchuko wrote: ↑ It should work better than LG's 43" TVs (I have the 43UM7300 as a monitor) as it is probably able to accept 4K60 RGB at 10 or 12 bits through displayport or USB C, depending on the graphics card.

43 inch TCL owner checking in. Fastasic format for a desk, especially wall mounted to get it a bit further back.

i bought the Dell version of 43inch(same size as this LG).. personally i find the vertical too high.. makes me dizzy.
for reference, my head was about 3 feet away from the monitor.. so if you plan on getting this, you need to go further than 3 feet, that would be my advice.
the 38inch ultrawide or the 49inch ultrawide dell is much more comfortable for me.

Using a Samsung 49 Q6FN Special Edition which has the OneConnect for work laptop, desktop (light pc gaming), and TV/multimedia for kids for easy switching between different devices and it's in the upstairs 'office'. Day time it's more of a productive usage and in the evenings my kids use it for netflix or I do light gaming sessions of 30 mins. Great for my personal/family usage.
Got to get used to the vertical height, but once you do, it's nice to have and helps a lot for productivity. Was debating getting an ultrawide, but then would lose out on the TV features for myself and kids in the office/multimedia room.. My wife and I can watch in the living room our shows, while the kids watch their shows upstairs.
