I'm in Europe in Greece.
First, I was looking for a 2k monitor then when I checked the prices (250-350 euro) I saw that a low end 4k UHD TV can also be used for same purpose.
My eyes were on this monitor 2k 144hz 32" monitor - LG-32GK650F-B (I can buy it around 300 euro here.)
But I decided that I don't need 144hz at all or other specs like fs and gs.
I want to use the TV as a monitor and I especially want it for the big workspace. (I'm currently trying to learn / step into coding/programming)
Probably this will be my only and main monitor.
I play games very casually, so support for 1k-2k 60fps could be good, if my system feels weak.
Btw my system is a Ryzen 5 with a gtx 1070.
So I decided I can also look for a 43" UHD for using as a monitor from proper distance, especially for the workspace.
I read the guides here and saw recommendations for lg 43um7400 (7xxx are bwetween 270-330) as IPS and Hisense 43b7100-7500 as VA. (43b7100 is around 270 euro here) (b7500 is 330 euro)
We don't have tcl 43dp628 here we have 43dp600 (290) and 43ep640 (270 euro) / 43ep660 (330 euro)
I'm watching the prices for good offers, these prices are just the ones that I found with a minimum price checker.
I'm leaning to IPS right now but I'm not sure !
There are a lot of different versions here around same price lvl for LG 43um7xxx like (7300,7100,7400,7450 they all have different endings like PLA,PLB,PLC)
And I'm not sure if they are all the same panel type.
If they are all ips and support 1k,2k and 4k 60 fps resolutions, in (4:4:4), I'll go with the cheapest one because I don't care about other specs like smart remote etc.
But I couldn't find exact information about supported resolutions on LG site. (in manual there isn't a clear expression)
I checked web and found a review for um7300 series. According to review Tv supports 1k,2k and 4k 60fps.
And support 4:4:4 on 1k and 4k. (but I'm not sure if this is true for all 43um7xxx versions)
For my purpose (coding/programming + very causal gaming) which panel type is better ? (VA or IPS)
And between all these options which tv should I buy ?
Do you think my logic is making sense to buy a 43" 4k over a 2k 32" monitor, for the purposes I explained. ?
If there is anybody in same situation that has experienced a 43" as a monitor (and by any chance using it for programming purposes), I also want to hear "dos" and "donts".
