40"++ monitor for gaming n coding

[Einzbern]

Hello guys,

help me to find 40" monitor screen, i hope it had pbp/pip for my productivity, USB C powered, 4k or 2k (144hz++). My Budget around US$500-600
Mostly for
50% Coding - good clear text clarity
40% Gaming - not competitive game, mostly RTS, RPG (eye candy games)
10% Entertainment - streming netflix, youtube, linustechtips.

my choice on :
Samsung m7  43" smart monitor (this is my  choice)
Samsung G7 Odyssey 43" (this is my  choice)

LG Oled 42" C3 (worry about burn in)
Monitor LED Philips 438P1 

Other suggestion than above list is okay. i'm still consider G7 odyssey about the review, it is mostly 2-3 years ago. 
is that monitor good or just take m7 43" for the different of price

thank you before.

Won't work on a 40"+ screen, I mean either you're close to it and it's too big, have to get a 360 rotating head lol , then further it's too far for coding

Plus for gaming a 4K screen seriously needs GPU power, what do you use ?

Did you already did it and enjoyed it ?

I'd say a 32" 4K is a sweet spot, big but still not TV sized 

Or 34" UW 2K which is easier to drive

Now best monitors are definitely OLED and they're still in the 1K price range

42 inch is the smallest size for LG screens and people commonly use them for monitors

you go from 32"4k sweet spot to 34" 2K? Also dont use a name like that. 2560x1080p is a better name because you are going from 2k wide to 2.5k wide but shorter.

Don't think many use them for coding work

But that's my opinion, maybe other people would find this fine

It's the same thing in current language, unless I'm mistaken

2k is 2048x1080, or 1920x1080, it is 1/4 of 4k, or half the width/hight

4/2 = 2.
Just like 4k is 4096x2160 or 3840x2160

If you have to call 1440p some kind of k name, its 2.5k.

Technically you're right, but it's a pretty unused resolution, so now "2K" can refer to 1440p (which is 2.5K..)

Yea 2k is not 1440p though. using it as such is just wrong and will only cause confusion. It also makes zero sense to do so. 

 

2K explicitly includes FHD. and its not unused at all. that is what theaters run at standard, the same way theaters run at 4k, not UHD. 

2560x1440p is NOT a 2k resolution, and to say 2k UW is even more nonsense because UW changes the horizontal, which the K is for. so when someone says 2k UW, you think 2048xlike 850? cause 21:9 or 1920x730? which would be an ultrawide image that fits in a ~2000 wide screen. 
There is a reason why when we use ultrawide we say the height, not the width as it does communicate that what you have better.

UW 1080p would be 2560x1080p.

Oled is good, but the burn in is the factor. especially i use for productivity that will display static image.

you go from 32"4k sweet spot to 34" 2K? Also dont use a name like that. 2560x1080p is a better name because you are going from 2k wide to 2.5k wide but shorter.

thank you for the correction, i meant 2k is 1440p. 

 So i post in forum to get some input to upgrade my current monitor Lenovo R34-30W with the one of my monitor list or others ?
Any latest review about samsung G7 odyssey 43 past this year ? especially about the ghosting, smearing, lag input ?
