[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1930017, member: 45350"] I have worn glasses since I was 5 and can barely count my fingers without them (a slight exaggeration). A good 4K TV works quite well as a monitor, though getting the right balance of resolution so the Menus and drop downs are readable can be challenging. I used a 40in Samsung for several years, but ran in at 2560x1440 even though it was cable of full 4K. Going up to the 48in let’s me run higher resolution while still being able to read the Menus. Too bad we don’t live closer. I still have the 40in Samsung my LG OLED replaced. You would be more than welcome to it. EDIT: to me, the “using the TV as a monitor” as distinct from my monitor is also a TV, doesn’t work. And that’s because of viewing distance. To function as a typical home entertainment device my 48in LG OLED would be 5 to 8 feet (or further) away to give a decent viewing angle for multiple people. In my setup I’m about 3 feet away from the screen, give or take a foot. [/QUOTE]
