    Bug spray on it trying to get ride of nats.

    You trading outside on your patio / balcony, live in a small populated rural town in which people leave their doors wide open (even at night) or what ?

    Regardless, try using Google to find your monitor. For example, I found the following link at the very first webpage search...
    I highly recommend you visit a store that has the monitors so that you can view it in person with your own eyes beyond just reading online reviews.

  2. blueraincap, I think probably these 49" ultrawides are what you are looking for. Went to Best Buy, saw one, HATED IT, they are like 3 monitors stitched together left to right, which is probably exactly what you are looking for, but I hate the very limited height of the screen. I want one more even, but you might love it. Will try and post a pic.

  3. Hmmmm, I need to look into this. Are there any downsides to using a TV as a monitor? Like because something doesn't line up you have some black at top and bottom or screen or something screwy? Is text as clear as on a computer monitor? I think I looked into this years ago and concluded it was just better to spend the extra $$$ to get a monitor to be on the safe side. Or any features I need to make sure a 4k TV has to make it work properly as a monitor?

    Thanks!

  5. Hahaha great minds think alike, I have those as well! It catches some, but these nats multiply like a billion times a day, so there are always more to kill.

  6. Naw wrbtrader, I just have some aquariums and aquaponics/hydroponics stuff set up in my room. They breed in there.

    Oh, I've read that article and tons more. The thing is, just went to Best Buy, I've figured out I do NOT want one of those ultrawides, hate them, picture to come.

    Thanks!

  7. So, just got back from Best Buy. They had one of those 49" ultrawide monitors for like $899. But I *hated it*. Picture below. It is ALL width, the height is no greater than like a 24" or 27" monitor or whatever. That is DEFINATLY not what I want. I loved the big width and height on my 43" LG, it was a perfect ratio.

    So, further questions if anyone knows:

    1. Are there any 49" monitors that are NOT the ultrawide kind, but more balanced width/height? From my googling and searching Amazon I think the answer is "no".

    2. If the answer to #1 is no, are there any monitors bigger than 43" that are not the ultrawide type? I too, worry the answer is no given what I've seen searching.

    3. If the answers to #1 and 2 above are both no, seems I'm staying with a 43" - anyone have any recommendations for particular 43" monitors? I might just end up getting an LG just like the one that went bad lol. Sucks, I was hoping for a slight screen size upgrade, even if only very small, for shits and giggles.

    Thanks all!!!

  8. Wholly SHIAT, I just found this:






    Is that not like the ultimate? 55". 120hz refresh rate (none of this 60hz garbage). Don't see refresh rate listed. Lots of money too. Damn.

    Why not just get multiple monitors?

    I use 5 32” vertical 4K monitors

    It probably makes up 3-4x the screen size of one 43” monitor and they’re all angled a little bit so it’s like being curved but taller

    Are you still holding onto your shorts on GME??!!! It's 220 now!!!! (told you it would go back up) Yup you are going to see them in giant letters all right.

    Ok if your screen went like that with all the lines down the middle and with everything blurry that means something inside died. Had nothing to do with the bugs or the bug spray. It was its time.
