Hi everyone! I'm an architect and i'm doing a renovation of my studio/apartment, watching ltt videos i was wondering to replace my desktop monitor(s) with a tv 40 to 50".

 

As the topic title says i would use it for my default architect workflow (autocad/rhinoceros/maya/photoshop/illustrator), projct display for clients, and usual series/film watching at night.

 

What do you reccomand? Upgranding my monitor set-up (multi display or ultrawide) or buying an do-it-all tv? My budget it's about 500 to 700$

 

I'm a little bit concerned about color, image sharpness and viewing distances (what's the optimal for a such large display?) and overall eye strain, if different from a traditional monitor.

 

Thank you!

I would go with monitors because they're designed for shorter viewing distances and don't have weird scaling issues. Maybe you want an ultrawide or a couple of 1440p monitors?

I edit my posts a lot.

Instead of TV you could get a monitor of that size.

Sorry I'm not familiar with the exact brands or models because I haven't bought a monitor for several years.

I would begin by looking for reviews and finding which features are most important to you.

You are looking for a calibrated IPS display that is at least 40" and under $700

 

Your options

My suggestion

Manufacturer's product page

 

Product features;

  • IPS panel, factory calibrated (delta not disclosed), anti-glare coating
  • 4K resolution, 42.5" diagonal, 60Hz
  • Six video inputs; 2x HDMI 1.4, 2x HDMI 2.0, 1x DisplayPort 1.2, 1x USB-C DP Alt mode
  • Two superspeed USB-A ports supporting 5V charging. The USB-C input serves as display connection and USB uplink simultaneously.
  • 10W stereo speakers (downward firing) << might be lackluster for TV/movie watching
  • Support for HDCP 2.2 (for 4K streaming services, Blu-ray playback)
  • Various PiP/splitscreen modes
  • Remote to control the thing

No I don't have one

If you want to watch TV programs, as in actual TV broadcast, you need to find another device to get the signal and output to this display because its not a TV.

Should you get a TV instead? Well I suppose its doable if you don't need fast response time, but you lose color accuracy.

 

Good luck

Awesome. Thank you, i will look for your advices!
