Maybe you wouldn't be stuck with monochrome bitmap fonts for good clarity. AA on 4k is still quite uncomfortable in comparison.

How is the response time? I thought using my 40" 4k Samsung TV had too much "mouse lag" for desktop use.

I don't notice any lag at all.
One thing I also did before I bought the exact model was do a little research -- the TV I bought has 1 HDMI port (out of the 5 available on it) that runs at 60Hz instead of 30Hz like the other 4 ports. I use that port for my laptop. I also read online that that port also skips the "Ultra HD engine" in the TV but I can't find that in the tech specs.
Btw, while I was looking for the tech specs I realized I have a 43" TV not a 44" (https://www.vizio.com/m43c1.html)

That might be due to HDMI, if I remember correctly HDMI 2 supports 4k at 60hz, but HDMI 1 can only do 30hz. If you have display port on it, use that instead and you should be good.
I have two Samsung 4k monitors and they are unbearable to use with HDMI at 4k, I had to get a new video card to drive them both over display port.
I picked 44" as the optimal size for me by standing 3 feet in front of all the 4K TVs at my local warehouse store and seeing what sized TV let me see the entire screen without swiveling my head - 48" was just a little too big.
My 4K screen works really well in Windows 10 other than a couple of old apps that don't to font scaling for their title bar correctly. I have the TV scaling at 125% and the laptop scaling at 250%. I'm not sure what an 8K screen would do for me as a programmer.
