a 40 inch for $149 and used my rewards points to do it. It was like getting a free TV for the bedroom.

I assume you mean you used your Amazon Prime Visa rewards. It’s better to not use your rewards to pay for a purchase because you won’t earn a 5% reward on that purchase. Instead, use your rewards for a statement credit. It’s a bit of extra work, but it’s..... rewarding.
720p isn't great resolution for a monitor.

Not if you want to read normal-sized text off the screen, anyway, and especially if those pixels are pretty big -- as they would be on a 32-inch TV. I realize that 720p is better than VGA but it's still doesn't look that sharp. I wouldn't go any lower than 1080p at that size.

I'm considering an external monitor to use for my laptop. At close working distance, even 1080p is kind of fuzzy. 4K or even 5K is better; text looks great.
Just bought a Sharp

50" 4K smart TV at Best Buy for $279.. crazy how the prices have dropped!
I use 43" 4k TV as my computer monitor

I love it. Previously I had used dual monitors, but this is better. I got it over a year ago for like $200.


Of course we are renovating my home office right now so I'm hating being stuck on my laptop screen.
