<p>Haha I'm not a network engineer, much more of a software engineer
with lots of networking. the ability to get three browser windows
up side by side is really nice for writing and testing code.
There's probably more of a market out there then they realize. If
you build it, we will come...</p>

Back when 4k just came out and they were really
expensive, I found a "TV" by an obscure brand called
Seiki which was super cheap. It was a 39" model. It's
just a monitor to me, but I have gotten really used to
its size and not needing two different monitors (and
the gfx card to support it). What's distressing is
that I was looking at what would happen if I needed to
replace it and there is this gigantic gap where there
are 30" monitors (= expensive) and 50" TV's which are
relatively cheap. The problem is that 40" is sort of
Goldielocks with 4k where 50" is way too big and 30"
is too small. Thankfully it's going on 10 years old
and still working fine.<br class="">
