I don't think TVs are a real option. I have a dual monitor setup with a 27" LCD on my desktop and a 32" LCD TV on a mount on the wall 3' from the ceiling. I move things I want to monitor to the high screen and work on the low screen.

I have 2 complaints. First, the TV is not as crisp as the desktop. Small fonts tend to blur. Second, redshift works, but not as dramatic. At 2am the TV is stil to bright while my desktop monitor looks like Mars.</div>

I type most of my day in terminal windows so tmux has been the biggest boost of productivity for me.

<br>
Is it time to move to a 4k monitor?<br>
Are 40 inch 4k TVs a viable option?<br>
<br>
Only 1 of my computers in the office can support 4K output and my KVM will need to be replaced from VGA inputs to HDMI/DP inputs to support it. Finding a good, cheap, KVM seems to be very difficult today. My Belkin OmniCube has been solid (PS2 connectors and
VGA). Think I can switch to USB for the keyboard and mouse now.<br>
<br>
Audio is working well with 2-sets of speakers directly connected to the specific machine. I prefer the audio separate from the KVM connection. These are analog 5.1 connectors.<br>
<br>
Anything else I'm missing? <br>
