    Dell has some 4k monitors. Last time I looked into it they were regular monitors with a dell dock built in, so you can drive it with a laptop via a single USBC cable that also powers the laptop.

      Thank you so much for the suggestion. I was looking at monitor companies and couldn’t find anything. Dell has almost exactly what I want. 43” 4k 60hz (this is for business not gaming). I just need to figure out how to get my job to cover the cost now, it’s about 2x as much as the one I used to have.

        For what it’s worth, I’ve been using that monitor for a year or so and I love it. I was coming from a $200 43” TV that had some flicker issues. I finally bit the bullet on the Dell and I think it was worth it. I use that system a lot and felt it worth the splurge. I usually have one or two VMs up and various apps/browser and I quite often use it for full screen video. The quality is nice. Despite all their other faults, Dell can put out a decent monitor.
