So this Sharp 32" LED TV has served me well these past few years but recently I've been thinking about replacing it with an actual monitor again (I have a nagging suspicion the input lag is killing me in a lot of games) and then just mounting this TV in one of my guest bedrooms.
The problem is, I realize I don't know much about what to get. I know I want either one of those 3440X1440 ~34" units or perhaps a nice ~32" 4K. Leaning towards the former because I don't really want to go SLI/CF just to make the latter bearable and the extra horizontal workspace would be nice. I also know I don't want to spend more than say $1000-1500 though that's not a hard limit if there's a REAL good reason to spend more and I'm not one to spend more if I can get away with less without sacrificing much. Not being locked to 60hz would be nice but I've been locked there on this TV for the past few years so maybe that's not a huge deal. I do play some FPS games but heard that TNs look awful and should be avoided like the plague. I also work at home for my job, so I am in front of this thing like 12+ hours per day but it's office type work, not photography or anything like that. I also don't have to get something RIGHT NOW, so if waiting a few months is better, that works too. I do know that I don't like to upgrade screens often and prefer something that lasts years (though I think this is true of most people).
Given all that, what do you guys recommend? And are there other questions/considerations I need? Thanks!
