This'll work great until companies start injecting ads via HDMI https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/04/hdmi-customized-ad-insertion-patent-would-show-rokus-ads-atop-non-roku-video/
My next "TV" will be a monitor.

In 2018 I got my employer to get me a a 40” 4k says monitor. It was great to work with, and I can’t find anything like it any more. Using even an expensive TV as a monitor doesn’t work, not because of ads, but because the pixels aren’t right for up close viewing, there are gaps between pixels that make lines look dotted and text unreadable.
Seems I can’t find a normal aspect ratio monitor over 27”, or an ultra wide over 32”. Where can we find large formats that are actual monitors these days?
Dell has some 4k monitors. Last time I looked into it they were regular monitors with a dell dock built in, so you can drive it with a laptop via a single USBC cable that also powers the laptop.
Thank you so much for the suggestion. I was looking at monitor companies and couldn’t find anything. Dell has almost exactly what I want. 43” 4k 60hz (this is for business not gaming). I just need to figure out how to get my job to cover the cost now, it’s about 2x as much as the one I used to have.
