Yes, I have a 42in one now (an older LG TV) but the color and clarity on it? It sucks, and I do want something for video editing that isn't just the MBP's built-in display (even though it is damn good.)
I want something for the desk that can match - or beat- the MBP. Ideally without the Apple price.
Being able to get *enough* work done on the 14in display of my M4 MBP has definitely had me rethinking if I need a 4K display for the desk still.

I rather liked PlayStation's old 3D display. This might be a display to keep an eye on: blog.playstation.com/2025/11/11/f...

Picture Post: Well, “vacation” for Kumoricon was nice while it lasted, but now it’s back to regularly scheduled programming.

Picture Post: I have learned the hard way to pack binder clips for next year‘s Kumoricon. To everyone who found me, well done. I handed out about 120 ribbons this year, which I think is pretty good for being harder to find than I anticipated. On the upside, I have plenty left over for…

Picture Post: Hotel room has been packed and so has the OCC. That’s pretty much a wrap on Kumo for this year. More behind the scenes things to wrap, but now it’s catch up on sleep.

Until Sonos fixes their absolute junk software, I can no longer recommend them as a sound system. Entire system is now completely screwed up from trying to fix a stereo pair where the right channel stopped working.

The app and website both show card history. That would be evidence.
