55" Samsung Curved Smart 4K TV for Trading

A few things to consider

Chroma subsampling 4:4:4 (for clearer text)
Response time (for faster moving images / gaming etc)
Bezel size (for aesthetics)
Brightness/Contrast Ratio (Will you be in a bright or dim room? If its a dark room then get one that produces better blacks for when watching movies or dark charts. If its a bright room then a bright TV that handles reflections is important. Viewing angles not that important for 4K TVs as monitors).

Be careful of size also, 55" would be too big for most desks and sitting distances. I have 43" and I sit more than a metre away. Any bigger would be uncomfortable.

To reduce eyestrain turn down the brightness and backlight to 0.

Most 4K TVs will display in 1080p 60Hz but to take full advantage of the screen real estate you obviously want a video card that supports 4K resolution.

The TVs software is important also but wasn't a deal breaker for me. LG has better software and remote than Samsung.

Is your 43" a LG Smart TV and what graphics card are you using.

I chatted with Samsung online today and they didn't recommend using the 55" Curved TV for a monitor. They said I would need to connect a laptop or other monitor to my computer and the TV would mirror what was on the laptop/other monitor. As Turveyd pointed out curved TV's are are rare these days and I can only see a few models left by Samsung so this rules out getting a curved TV. I will look for a smaller TV as a non curved TV at 55" will be to big.

strange ...
why TV must mirror what was on the laptop / other monitor?
it doesn't make sense.

also nowadays there are lots of curved TV.
do check further.

anyway curved TV should be meant for watching movies and those things,
not watching charts and ladders.

I thought it sounded a bit suspect. I actually chatted to 2 different Samsung Online Support staff to make sure they were not telling me BS and they both told me the same thing. I have checked the 3 main big electronic dealers were I am located (not in US) and the only curved tv are the samsungs.
