Current setup at the office is a 28-4k dead-centre with laptop stand beside it. I use the side display for Slack and Spotify specifically to not look at.

At home I had a 28-4k but replaced it and my TV with a 43-4k. I mostly use the middle area so a single ultrawide with laptop below it would suit me fine if it wasn't my TV. The PiP is handy for using multiple machines.

Edit: when I was doing production engineering, I used two 28s, one vertical on the side with the laptop on the other side.

I currently have 3 27" displays side by side and keep wanting to try a giant 40-50" tv now that the bridge between monitors and tv is getting so small. (Plus I would kill-9 for PIP)

What model do you have, (did you try a few) and what are any real life downsides? (Eg. No usb hub? Display just not quite as good yet?)

Surprised this approach hasn't come up more often yet

I got an LG 43UD79-B after asking here[0]. Built as a high quality monitor rather than a low-end tv. PIP as well as 2x or 4x P-by-P with USB-C (video+hub), DP, and 4 HDMI.
