This 43-Inch 4K Computer Monitor Is the Definition of Overkill

This 43-Inch 4K Computer Monitor Is the Definition of Overkill

And I want it so badly.

Among the many things the smartphone revolution has proven—aside from things like "people love to take pictures of themselves"—is the simple fact that sometimes a small screen is all you need. Whether it's a pint-sized iPhone SE or a mammoth Samsung Galaxy Note, sometimes the screen you can fit in your pocket beats out even the biggest TV. 

But then sometimes you just want a 43-inch computer monitor. 

Dell's new Multi-Client Monitor (P4317Q) is exactly that. Measuring just over three-and-a-half feet diagonally, the high-resolution 4K monitor makes the most of its absurd real-estate by functioning, effectively, as four screens at the same time. But you can blow any one of those four displays up into glorious 3840 x 2160 fullscreen at any time 

I say sometimes you want a 43-inch monitor because, really, who needs one of these? Chances are you can make due with a standard one or two (or sometimes three), and get still wind up paying less: the P4317Q comes in at a hefty $1,350. But hey, if it's really calling to you then you gotta do what you gotta do. And what you gotta do is sit down and have a nice hard think about how you are living your life.
