I use a Sharp 43" 4K tv as a minitor. It is a little on the large side but I have changed how I arrange my windows to cope. Generally I have whatever I am working on take up the middle third of the screen and arrange smaller windows on the left and right thirds with whatever else I need at the time. I usually have mail and slack on the mbp that is driving the screen. I find this to be more productive than the two 1080p 21" monitors I have in the office. Also I got the tv as a refurb from fry's for <$300 so it was cheap if it didn't suit me. It's also a great tv in my bedroom.

Thanks for confirming. This is what I expect my experience to be like. I could purposely put the display off-center so I only use 2/3 of it with something minor in the side.
