Pro user saw $900 42" television and thought "Gee, I better go tell these people there's a $150 option out there! Surely they'll stop desiring something else and save their money!"
Maybe you don't understand this, but there are volume options…and then there are luxury options. You're comparing Cuisinart to Wusthof; a Kia Rio to an S-class; a Casio to a Rolex. Do they have the same basic functionality? Yep. Do the latter options do much more and can be nicer if you have discerning tastes? Yep.
Stay out of threads if items you don't understand; better yet, read up and learn the differences between your ultra-frugal picks and the presented options so you can have some valuable input.
Be a pro.

LG partner store has it for $813 for their BF sale plus $25 shipping. Considering the gift card and warranty, this does look like the better deal. It may drop as we get close to new models in spring but I doubt any time this year.

With nvidia's drivers/config tool you can only run a smaller portion of the screen as if it were a smaller monitor in every way.
I had an LG 48 CX for a while. I used it at full resolution the normal way for work/web browsing, but when I wanted to play a fast game like call of duty I configured it to run as a 2560x1440 120hz virtual screen that was probably roughly 25 or 28" in size in the center of the screen. All other pixels on the TV were completely turned off.
I don't mean that the window is smaller or something, I mean literally turns off all pixels outside of a centered 2560x1440 box, and all OS behavior acts as if it was just powering a smaller 2560x1440 monitor. No performance difference from an actual 1440p monitor. The whole system just treats the other pixels as if they don't exist.
Now, you might think that this would create horrible burn in. Not a problem at all. If I was playing cod for 300h then over time there would be a difference between the pixels in the middle that were used for regular use and games, and the pixels on the outside that were only used for regular use. However, whenever it was annoying enough I would just run the built in burn-in fixer in the lg tv settings and then it would be back to brand new again. I used it for a few years as a PC monitor and it looked the same at the end as it did at the start. The software burn in fixer works absolutely perfectly indefinitely.
There's no reason (besides cost) not to get a 43+ inch screen these days, it's just that people don't understand that having an X" screen really means you can simulate any <=X" screen size with identical performance to just having a physically smaller screen.
