What do people recommend for 43in monitors?

I don't think there is anyone in this world who put the 43" monitor in portrait format.
it is designed for landscape format.

Jesus, don't shoot the messenger. Have you tried it? If I had a monitor that big and had trouble seeing the top of a screen at the eye-angle experienced, I would go to a Best Buy or wherever and look at a demo of portrait mode on a curved monitor of that size, see if it would help me.

You use an older, five year old, TV with defects on it as a monitor....

While you have 'six figure days' as a trader? This image doesn't jive,

Update:

I decided to go with 2 43" LGs for now ($250 a piece), they seemed to have better brightness compared to the others at Best Buy, can always return them if need be.

For some reason in my mind I had the image of having one stacked on top of the other but I realize now that 1 - You would have to rig something up yourself because there isn't anything on the market for that, and 2 - Even if you could do it the visibility on the top monitor would more than likely be poor.

I'm upgrading from some super old 24" 1080 AOCs so I think just 1 of those LG 4Ks will offer as much charting space as 4 of them (if not more), so I would effectively be doubling my screen real estate by having just 2 of them (as opposed to originally wanting 4).

Plus that would still give me 2 open spots on my P620 card to keep 1 of my older AOCs stacked on top of the other on a desktop stand (like I have them now) + my 32" IPS monitor on the onboard video.

Thanks to all for the input,
jm

I currently have 4x27" monitors and a 32" one, previously I had 2 additional 27" ones as well but when I had a new system built one of the video cards that I was using was so old that it didn't work with the updated BIOS and unfortunately the motherboard I chose for the build only had 1 PCIx16 slot because at the time I was planning on using the x1 slot for the other card.

So, basically I have been running on two less 27" monitors than I was used to previously, but lately I have been thinking/wanting to do an upgrade of all 4 of my 27" monitors and was thinking that going with 43" would be better than going with 32" and cheaper than going with a really big ultrawide one, however when shopping for one it doesn't appear as though there are many 43" dedicated options out there, I see ones that are listed as monitor/TV combo options etc but that's about it.

What do other people use in the 43" variety? I have heard of other people simply using what are traditional TVs as monitors, but I don't know anything about that in terms of what the differences (pros cons) would be?

I don't do any gaming, so this doesn't have to be a top of the line monitor per se, I only use my pc for basic stuff + esignal charting + trading.

Thanks for your time,

I've been using 4K TVs for monitors for many years. They work great. My favorite, and newest, is my onn 50" Roku from Walmart.
Get a 43 if your vision is normal/good, a 50 if your vision is not so good, or a 55+ to mount on the wall across the room. With good vision, anything above 43 should have a higher resolution unless, like me, your vision is not so good IMO. On Windows, you can not make the font smaller (as far as I know) so a 50 may be wasted with fonts larger than you like.
The refresh rate doesn't matter for trading, only gamming. I don't think you have been able to buy anything less than 60hrz for many years (my 39" SEIKI is 30hrz). I have a very old i7 that can only run at 30hrz. Looks great. My newer computers, Ryzen 7, run at 60hrz. No graphics cards are needed.

I've had big monitors before, multiple monitors, I just felt like....I was slowly dieing due to radiation and heat exposure.
It took me some time in life....to realize my own way, and not follow everyone else's likes and hobbies and preferences.
Minimal and basic....and clarity and peace of mind...is a beautiful thing -- Both in trading and in life,

Good idea;
much more heat, especially if one nears the Canadian border/ they need all the heat hey can get. LOL
I chose not to live that far up north; but I like shade trees also.

Much truth in this.

Some ET'ers claim to trade/follow multiple/LOTS of markets. Very difficult to do a good job on any of them. Solution... focus on a few markets (even ONE) and trade well. ("Following" markets is easy... trading them well is a different story.)

As far as I'm concerned....the only game in town....is to follow and trade the S&P.

People who follow, or trade, in a lot of things and everything else out there....are just fooling themselves and hurting themselves.

It's all about Trading the S&P, the broad market ticker. The Main Event.
everything else is just foreplay and to pass time and for nonsense, sideshow carnival games.

If someone can trade the S&P successfully, everyday/intraday....they have unlocked the keys to the universe.
