Just a heads up, a lot of these 55" or smaller TV use slightly different panel than the 65" TV rtings test so they are not as good for monitor use as people think. They use some sort of pentile subpixel arrangements. Most people won't notice or even care but some people may be bothered. Here is a thread that discussed it.

What's the difference between this and the Amazon warehouse one? I'm tempted to cancel my Amazon warehouse one if this has a warranty ( I believe Amazon one doesn't)

Your input would be appreciated. thanks.

A little scary. It's a good thing the P55-F1 returns from Costco are painless

With that said, I can't recommend the P55-F1 as a monitor until this sub-pixel issue is clarified. As a TV, it remains excellent though.

I have one and am impressed. It has thin bezels and thin profile. 200x200 VESA mount as well. Never thought to try it out as a 4K monitor but will try it. If it works, quite an affordable monitor.

What are your thoughts on this as a monitor so far? Looking for a TV to play my Switch on and to use as a monitor to replace an older 40" Samsung I gave away.

I’m gonna get in some real shit for this purchase but I’ve been meaning to replace my aging 23 inch 1080 dual screens wanting one large canvas to work with putting games in windowed 1440p mode with room for social feeds. Not to mention the support for component and 3 HDMI ports for extra devices. Thanks OP!

I am closer to 45cm, never had a problem, running with a 2080ti my games run great with 4k. I know 144hz is ideal for games but I don't compete nor play online so I am good.

40" is fine for a monitor, I've been using one for 2 years.

Side note, I have a 40" 7100 sitting beside my Philips 40" monitor. The colour reproduction is very good on the Samsung after calibration.

No DP, right?

Is the VA color shifting appreciable? [e.g., near the side edges, using the tv as monitor at say 45-60cm and having the tv centered in front of you at eye level]

rting charts show offcenter color shifting (wrt viewing angle).

Actually works great as a PC monitor...however...there is a point when a desktop monitor can be too large. I have an LG 34" UM88C 3440x1440 which I think is already huge. Its every bit as sharp as my LG. The 40" is monstrous and just too much real estate to look at. I'm going to stick with the LG as its more than meets my needs and fits on my desktop.

I appreciate this argument... until I realize I can split the NU7100 40" into (4x) 20" 1080p screens worth of real estate. At that point I'm sold on productivity alone.

This.

I had a 34" ultrawide 3440x1440 for a year, then went with a 40" 4k monitor. I used it for a few months and went back to the ultrawide monitor. 40" is just too big for a monitor IMO. At least for the kind of work I do with my code editor + terminal + browser + other windows in the back. You won't realize at first but you have to move your head/eyes much more at this screen size. When using a monitor for more than 50 hours a week, it becomes something very important. I realized that I wasn't actually using the top part of the monitor because I had to look up every time. Meaning 40" was too big and ultrawide was the right choice. For me. YMMV

Day traders, schedulers, excel people, and task organizing folks would humbly disagree.

Definitely a use-case specific kind of monitor, though.

I rocked 42" in 2015 and would happily go back.

The physical dimension of a 40" monitor versus how close you are in front of it requires more movements.

I agree that day traders are another category, but otherwise, I'd like to hear why you think those people would prefer a big monitor like this one.

In a typical work environment setup, where you're in front of a monitor for work, 40" requires lots of movement to use the extra space you have at the top of the monitor. My experience showed me that people with monitor > 32" that are not ultrawide tend to not use the extra top space of the monitor because of the neck movement it requires. Toolbars are at the top and so on, so using a browser at the top of your 40" monitor is not something people usually like. The browser stays at the middle of the screen. And eventually, every other windows. Sure at the top you could have some monitoring software that you don't check that often. But then, it becomes, as you say, very use-case specific.

In a gaming setup, without referring about this particular model because I didn't check the refresh rate, I guess that monitor over 32" would still be alright because the main action is at the center of the monitor.

I agree that it really depends on how you intend to use the monitor. With/without scaling, how far, ...

Use case specific.

Expect eye movement, and if closer, expect neck movement.

To be able to recruit (4x) monitor work spaces in one large canvas is very attractive for many, including myself.
