Philips to offer 43 inch 4K UHD IPS monitor
Are you ready to pull out your wallet and grab deep in there? Philips will release the 43-inch BDM4350UC, a huge version based on the 'smaller' BDM4065UC at 40 inch. It has somewhat the same looks, but just is bigger. The handsome fellah is an Ultra HD screen based on an IPS panel.
It actually has a 60Hz IPS-type panel with a solid static 1200:1 contrast ration. 178/178° viewing angles are specified. At 42.51 Inches and based on a 3840 x 2160 resolution that means a 103.64 PPI (Pixels Per Inch) pixel density. That actually is very comfortable as it is similar to say a 21.5” Full HD monitor pixel density wise.
The backlight is your flicker-free standard gamut WLED and the screen comes with two Display port 1.2 connectors as well as 2 HDMI 2.0 ports (with MHL). It also includes VGA, 4 USB 3.0 ports (1 with fast-charging), 3.5mm audio input and 3.5mm headphone jack. Mounted in the frame are 2 x 7W speakers and you can hang it onto a wall as well as the screen has 200 x 200mm VESA holes. A 5ms grey to grey response time is specified.
The screen will arrive in May or June with a price to be announced. Update, I just noticed a listing in the price search engibe, the monitor will sell for roughly 799 EURO for this IPS model, not bad at all with these specs.

Play a fast paced FPS like UT or CSGO and then come talk to use about input lag on a TV.

Im using Panasonic 50" right now. When I play PC games or desktop use, usually I sitting around 150cm distance.
When watching movies/YT with friends/familly ~180-250cm is good.
But fun thing is (without even start my PC!) that is nice feature.
No problem sit closer or very close to the screen - pixel density is still very good for any kind of use.
I have Input lag on mine around 38-50ms (deepend form mode).
Its not fastest, but its playable any game without problems.
BF4 is not problem. Spotting enemy snipers or far units its pleasure.
Bigger screen is very tolerant for set custom FOV.
CS: GO or Quake (fast games) is obiously bit worse.
Only coz it will reduce good players skill. And we know in pro gamming evry milisecond have matter.
Pro players will also preffer higher refreshrate etc.. TV's are not targeting for proffesional gamming anyway.. its more for "comfort players".
When input lag is above 80ms (some "bad" TV models have) then wil be for console or casual players just fine.
Point to have huge TV screen is something called "visible resolution" You not losing any details, see clear image, can have local dimming, high brightness, and more...
Some Sony's or Samsung TV models have low input lag around 21ms.
Not to mention FHD TV's have usually even better input lag.
One of mine (retired) Philips 37" FHD had input lag 0-10ms!
But thats old "shoes".
Some problem can happen if we like exacly just specific brand or model TV which have worse input lag.

I can't understand why they would miss out on putting freesync on this monitor. It would increase saleability hugely. But sadly it looks like no freesync, so I'll wait until a korean brand repackages the panel with freesync and buy that instead.

For the last 4 years I've been using a 42" HDTV "bedroom TV" for my PC. I would hate to have to go back to using a smaller 22"-28" monitor. If I did it would have to have Gsync and all the other goods. I love a big screen for YouTube or just browsing the net but most of all I love to play games on it. Is there input lag? Only if you don't switch it to the game mode setting, which is on 24/7. I cannot feel any input lag whatsoever and I am picky as hell when it comes to that because I use a keyboard and mouse for gaming. Am I breaking my neck or having to move my head around to see the whole screen? No of course not. My desk chair is measured at 5 feet away from my TV. For those of you thinking about getting a big screen like in the article, I would go for it. One day I will switch to a Gsync monitor but it's going to need to be big.
