seeking 4k curved monitor recommendation

[Michael Butash]

Yup, I bought one too to play with, but seeing I need 3x, and they're 40-50
a piece, I was considering alternatives.

Sadly these don't present any sort of public api to hit when on ethernet,
and I never got around to packet sniffing or mitm the sessions that my
harmony and other things tie into them with to remote control them.  Pain
in the arse technology, I just run up my power bills and leave them on
instead.
