true, at least a couple of the curved monitors I looked at weren't 4k, but<br>
they had a similar resolution. I presumed being wide and short DQd from<br>
selling as 4k. I still need to verify that they have 4:4:4 or equivalent.<br>

Yeah, I'm not even sure what is the actual demarcation line between calling<br>
it 4k and 2k. I've been happy with both of my ASUS monitors, and got the 27"<br>
4k for a pretty good deal last year for Black Friday at $350. I think 1440p<br>
in a wide display would probably look just fine.<br>

I might fall back to a curved TV, but I'm certain a monitor is more likely<br>
to give me a good text experience.<br>

I'm planning on getting a pull-down mount for the TV, so I can have it for<br>
monitoring windows.<br>

I'm considering a wide, curved 4k monitor.<br>
<br>
I'll be connecting to an HDMI port.<br>
<br>
I'm currently using a 4k TV with text display issues. It was the best<br>
option at the time, but my eyes really, really want a better text display.<br>
I'm also finding that a wide flat display is less than ideal, hence the<br>
desire for curved.<br>
<br>
Any recommendations for specific monitors? Places of acquisition?<br>
<br>
I normally ignore black Friday sales, but this year many of them appear to<br>
be black November sales. That works better for me, if I'm going to change<br>
I need to do so before Thanksgiving as that's when silly season hits full<br>
swing for $dayjob.<br>

4k curved screens seem to be pretty rare. The only 2 I've found in a<br>
(rather quick) search is a 40" Philips and 40" AOC. There appear to be<br>
quite a few 3440x1440 curved monitors though, mostly 34" though they<br>
are pricey.<br>
<br>
I think I bought both my 27" ASUS 2k and 4k monitors from newegg.<br>
