Ray Looks like you made a big improvement in display and your shack. The same situation for a second screen was with my station. I found an LG refurbished 32 in monitor for $299 at Micro Center. Normally $479. I looked at monitors for a long time and found a deal. My personal limit was $300 because I wasn’t sure how it would increase the number of windows open in a screen. I tried a 42 inch TV but was disappointed because it was only 1920 by 1080. Also the video driver was on board **** up a lot of CPU resources. Talking to a number of techs at different BestBuy and Micro Center stores the opinion was that a high performance TV monitor would be good but a gaming computer monitor was a better choice. It seems computer monitor prices are not dropping as fast as 4K TVs. Came down to I only had to buy it once and if not happy with a specific TV, I would have to buy another some day. Same reason I bought a 6600 instead of the 6400 and have not been disappointed. I upgraded to a NVDIA graphics card and was a big improvement. Allowed 3 monitors too. Freed up my computer to process FT8 ant Flex processing. No more missed FT8 time slot decodes. Had considered buying a 32 inch 1080 monitor you can find for $180-200 but would not improve the minimum window size on the screen. The extra $100 improved functionality and screen utilization. I use the SmartSDR popout to configure rig control things on one screen and operating windows and panadapter windows front and center. 73 Bill W9JJB1
