43 inches of 4k goodness: [^].
Typically Dell's higher-end monitors, for whatever reason, are sold here (in Thailand) at an extreme mark-up compared to other monitors, or tv's.
Assuming I could hornswaggle this beast into the budget for under US $1500 (almost certainly impossible), that would translate into basic cost-of-living (rent for a nice two-bedroom two-bath house in a great neighborhood with air-con office, food, laundry, etc.) for about four months here (yes, I live very frugally, by choice).
so much for window-shopping.
cheers, Bill

My LG 40" 4K monitor TV can only do 30Hz over DisplayPort, but I only paid CAD$500 for it. I'm more than willing to put up with the slight delay when dragging windows around.
A USD$1500 monitor would simply have stayed on the store shelf, even without the shortcomings mine has.

Does she not fall outside the 20 year scope? I'd have gone for Streisand at her peak if we're talking further back but I did say 20 years!

Oh, missed that. Yeah, guess she's SLIGHTLY out of range.

If we're going outside the range, then I want Patti Smith in there. And Joan Armatrading. And Aretha Franklin. And ...

Ahhh - fooey. You're just getting rid of the real competition so those of the last twenty years have anything like a chance.
