This will unavoidably sound like one-upmanship, but I've been using a 43" 4K screen in my home office for probably five or six years now. I'm on my second panel. The first one was a Hisense TV and the new one is an Aorus monitor.

It is absolutely fantastic. My eyes are around four feet from the screen and I don't get that blurred vision you get from extended near-work anymore. I could never go back.

Yea, I thought about it too, but my table is not as deep.

I do have a pretty deep table at around 33 inches, but my secret is that I use a lapdesk for my keyboard & mouse. I set the whole thing on an ottoman I have under the table for my feet when I'm done.

It's super comfortable and as long as I'm careful about the enormous screen I can still use the table for projects when not on the computer.

I also have a 43” 4K, which I still refer to as “comically large”. I very nearly decided it was a mistake, until I set it as low as I could on my desk. Even so, as a computer display I get more out of the vertical space than horizontal (and tend to ignore at least a third of the screen while at my desk). If it didn’t also serve as my TV, I’d probably be just as happy with a smaller screen in vertical orientation.
