    The great thing about 4k and 43" screen size is that you can enjoy 16:9 or ultrawide 21:9 resolution through nvidia control panel create custom resolution feature. Sure there will be letterbox bars on ultrawide, but you can enjoy games at 2560x1080, 3440x1440, or 3840x1600 with higher frames than native 4k resolution.

    I have the LG 43" 4k and it's really important if you don't have a deep desk that you mount it on the wall. It's really incredible when you have a little extra space it's a lot more relaxing on the eyes compared to a smaller monitor that you sit closer to and you'll still be able to take advantage of the size. I would love to see some of these guys live with it in the ideal scenario because it's no question for me, I can't go back to anything smaller!

    I've yet to try it. I've tried UW before, but not that big. However, 21:9 is so very limited in terms of proper support that to me it will never be a viable experience. I mean, if you like single-player games then sure it's fine. I'd much rather have a 32" 16:9, 144hz, 2560x1440 panel. Games are getting harder to drive, especially at 3440x1440, and if you add high refresh into the equation, lol no thanks. Everyone wants these super high resolution, and high refresh rate monitors when almost no one has the hardware to run it to begin with, it's ridiculous.

When the next gen GPU’s come out with HDMI 2.1, then those TV’s will be able to transition to 4K 120Hz right away. Or if somebody releases an DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 2.1 adapter, that too would allow those TV’s to do 4K 120Hz.
