I just bought a 43" 4k TV for £199. Not because I wanted a 4K TV, but because it was actually on sale at the same price as a 1080p 32" one.Leave a comment:

Massive amount of real estate and not absurdly expensive, providing you have a graphics card that supports three inputs.Leave a comment:

If you still need more screen real estate, or split work and other stuff, there's free virtual desktop software.
Currently using Dexpot with Windows 10 on my 40" 4k monitor, mainly so I can have one desktop with all my work stuff and others with shortcuts to non-work stuff.
Got the background colours set to differentiate so easy to see which virtual desktop I'm on before wondering where the shortcuts have gone, and set it to use keyboard shortcuts (Alt+1, Alt+2 etc) to switch between them so no visible clue to my hidden desktops if I've got anything sensitive on there.

My desk isn't Brobdingnagian. Still... tempting.
