Hmm, I need to research that a bit more. The x4 inputs is neat, but limited to 30fps refresh. I don't think I'd personally have much use for them personally. Looks more matte which is a plus. USB...

Specs say HDMI is limited to 30fps, you use DP to get 60 but there's only 1 DP jack. So a 4 "screen" setup would, I think, suffer from blur when scrolling or moving the mouse fast.
And yeah, I'm...

Not quite as cheap, but the LG 43UD79-B is at costco.com (today is the last day) for $550, or if you have a coupon $525. Viewing angles are probably worse than the Sony 720E though.

TV's are not computer monitors. Do you like yours eyes moving up and down constantly due to screen height, or do you only use 2/3 of the screen?. Buy an ultrawide monitor and thank yourself later!
