I'm happy with mine, but wouldn't a TV be better for you?

In general, I like my screen. but here are a few things I didn't notice when I bought it. 1. The 1/8" TRRS jack is not an input but a speaker output. Audio only comes to this monitor via HDMI or USB-C. 2nd: All PIP and PBP modes are not as useful as you think It's always better to put your main computer on this monitor and your other source on a second monitor.I dreamed of maybe plugging in a cable box or another computer to do other work while one computer was doing background processing.It poses turns out I can do most of this just as easily with VNC 90% of the time.Since PIP windows can't be resized to fit the resolutions loaded into them, screens have to be scaled in weird ways.Better buy two of these so my main window is on one, and then maybe a couple more PBP windows for the machines I work on. If the price goes down I'll think about it. Also running this monitor is 1080p for now and looks acceptable. If your computer can't handle 4k, why bother? You give up 1/2 of your property and have to scale everything. If you don't use all PIP/PBP modes, does a regular 4k TV with HDMI2.0 input serve the same purpose and function as a TV? Just look at all of this.
