I have quite a bit... but haven't pulled the trigger yet.<br>
Since I work in software development as well as real-time monitoring
of the systems I deploy I frequently work with multiple monitors.
For efficiency it would be MUCH better to have a single large
monitor than several small ones... however there are several
gotcha's I've not yet resolve consistently & sufficiently:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>A 55" monitor is not portable and not likely to exist in all
locations -- so if you get used to working with that you are
effectively anchored to your desk.</li>
<li>Some (many?) machines don't know how to properly feed a 4K
monitor and so there may be no real benefit. If your graphics
card doesn't cover the pixels it's like using crayons.</li>
</ul>
<p>I'm going to wait and see -- if at some point it looks awesome
(like maybe when I finally switch over to using my alienware 17
for my primary machine) then this might be a great solution for
when I'm in the lab... if I can keep myself from getting spoiled.<br>
