Hi
Its been a while since I logged on.  Just received a new ADK loaded to the gills.  
 
I have a couple of 30" monitors that are maybe 7 years old.  Monitor resolution has changed so much and prices have dropped so dramatically, that i am considering an upgrade - perhaps a radical one.  
 
At work I have a 2x2 array of 26" monitors.  I like the "wall of monitors" approach as I often way more than fill the space provided (bloomberg, outlook, excel, google chrome for starters and bloomberg takes 2 monitors)
 
While I like the ability to tab stuff in Sonar, I often find myself running out of screen space.  Maybe I am just lazy.  
 
So I can buy 4 26" monitors and put them on a 2x2 stand...
Or
i can buy a LED HD (4k?) monitor and just use one.  
 
I cannot find a ton of info on the DPI of using something like a 50" Samsung vs my 2x2 array.  I certainly do not want a blurry image with ill defined letters.  
Anyone using a TV monitor for Sonar?  
 
Oh, my eyesight is in between where I need glasses or don't.  I cannot get a good view with them off, so i raise the font size.  Obviously that reduces my effective screen space.  
 
Thanks in advance.

There is little difference in resolution, as measured by pixels-per-inch. 1080p is equivalent to 1920x1080, a typical native resolution for typical computer monitors. Computer monitors tend to be a bit less-expensive because you're not paying for speakers and a tuner, but OTOH with a TV you can, well, watch TV.
 
I recently had to buy new monitors and considered a single large display to replace two smaller ones. I looked at a 42" monitor for $350 but went with a pair of 22" monitors that yielded more screen space for $89 apiece. I won't go bigger because they'd impinge on line-of-sight to my speakers when arranged horizontally, and I find vertically-oriented monitors uncomfortable and awkward.

you want monitors with a high refresh rate.
I use 2- 40 inch monitors and its a dream come true. even though they both use VGA, I have no problems keeping up in sonar using onboard graphics (dual VGA) with sonar.

Thanks all. 

The other advantage I find with separate monitors is the ability to quickly maximise different windows on each screen. I know you can use screensets to organise and quickly resize Sonar windows on a single larger monitor, but I would miss that ability.

There are some screensplitting tools out there, but I haven't tried them

I went from 2 x 1920x1080 to a 43" 4K.  I would never go back.  I could see using a screensplitting tool in some cases for convenient placement and control of applications, but that really isn't a problem that's bad enough for to try any out yet.

The biggest thing you want to watch out for is input lag. This will determine the lag time for things like dragging your mouse across the screen which can be maddening the higher the lag time. Televisions are notorious for having terrible input lag.
 
Last year I bought a 49" Vizio M-Series UHD TV so I could work in 4K. It's the best for the price (I think I paid $530?). It works great for working in Sonar but I wouldn't attempt to game on it. There were some others that had lower lag time (I think the Sony's had about 6-10ms less input lag time) but they cost several thousand more.

Mine is a 43" Vizio E2 D43.  The ONLY complaint I have is that I have to use a smartphone app to adjust settings.  I'm mostly over that now.
