I use a 39" 4K monitor and absolutely love it for both dev work and TV. Being a monitor and not just a 'TV with DisplayPort input' means it sleeps/wakes correctly, and I haven't watched free-to-air TV in over a decade, so I don't miss the lack of a tuner.

I considered that but went with two 27" 4K LG's instead because they where/are used on a desk in the corner of the room and at desk distances 40" was too big.

Even two 27" at desk distances is pushing the limit of how far I want to turn my head all the time, ergonomics is important to me because I have spine issues.

What I really want is a 16K wireless VR headset with 12hr battery life I guess.

A single 40" 4K display is basically 2x2 20" 1080p displays with no bezel space between. That means you would be turning your head quite a bit more with 2x 27" than a single 40" (although with some additional vertical movements I guess). I sit at a distance of about 800mm (~2.5ft) from the display and find I hardly have to move my head at all - I focus most of my work in the top two thirds with lower priority 'peripheral vision' stuff (IM, terminal windows, etc) down in the lower section.

Agreed but as mentioned I have spinal issues and rotating head horizontally hurts me less than vertically.

I also like the separation of having two screens but that's a personal thing because it fits my mental model well, with cinnamon and it's window position/resize shortcuts it's pleasant.

That weighs nothing. Don't forget it has to weigh nothing.
