You want to upgrade your television, and make it part of a two monitor set up in your living room; that's fine, this is the year to do that. I bought a Sony OLED on sale and dug out two table monitor arms from storage, and attached those to the current television stand.
OLED technology peaked last year, and whatever Samsung is tweaking with LED tubes, mini, micro or nano, is going to take another five years to be consumer ready; next year, the cheap Chinese stuff should be coming to market which is pressurizing the Koreans to innovate, whether with QLED or eight kay.
I'm a little paranoid with burnin for OLED, though I've been assured for the current batch of models this has been resolved somewhat. Cleaning the screen is a pain, since handling by myself, I had greasy fingerprints all over the edges, due to the non existence of bezels; will wear gloves next time, though there is an issue of grip, and the lucky discovery that fifty five inches is all i can handle by myself. Anything larger, you will probably should get professional to install it, or some very careful and trusted friends to assist you.
Since the burnin issue made me want to duplicate the image on a smaller, cheaper and non OLED monitor, you still would have to buy one with a four kay screen; I considered the matter, and since it would be on a monitor, sticking out into the living room, I thought I would first try out some cheap disposable twenty twoish screen, to see if it gets knocked around; thirty two inches is the current sweet spot for actual monitors, especially if you're going for four kay, and you probably have to budget in another three to four hundred bucks.
Next generation of consoles are going to be mindbreakingly fast, and going by what's been demonstrated, beautifully pictured; assuming the price is five hundred bucks for the complete variants, considering the hardware involved, a slightly powered down thirty seven hundred ecks, the latest graphics technology from Ai Em Dee, and really fast memory and storage, that's a bargain, as any personal computer builder will tell you.
