I use an 8K 55" TV. It was much cheaper than an equivalent monitor and is equivalent to 4x 27" 4k panels. Text rendering is sublime.

I wish the panel was still in production with more dimming zones and DP input.

One difference between TV and monitor panels is the blue line peak (450 vs 460 nm); lots of people dismiss it as unimportant matter, but to me the further peak towards green the easier it is on my eyes.

Man I am so jealous. These are now gone. only 65+ are available, too big, ppi too low.

This is such a cool idea. Text was the one thing I was concerned about with perhaps color correctness/accuracy/calibration options secondarily, but I'm sure they've got that down.

But hearing that the text looks good is the biggest thing. I may actually consider going down this road.
