I am jealous that you were even able to find a 55 inch 8k monitor. I couldn’t find one.

For my computer monitor, I ended up going with a cartoonishly large 85 inch 8k. It was somewhat of an adventure getting it into my house, but once it was set up I absolutely love it.

I don’t really see the point of 8k for anything but computer monitors but it’s absolutely great for that.

I'd think 85" even at 8k wouldn't be that great for a productivity monitor.

it seems conventional wisdom (for good or bad) would say 32" at 1440p isn't that great for productivity and one wants a full 4k monitor at that size for productivity use, and 8k at 85" would be about the same pixel density of 1440p at 32"

I basically use it as four monitors, I basically divide it into quadrants.
