Default Where to mount a 4K display?

In what position do you mount a 4K display (50 inch)
I want to use it for general use, editing, mixing.

This is all I could find.

Default Re: Where to mount a 4K display?

First question; have you already purchased it? If not, wait and do some more research as 4K displays are not always a good choice for Pro Tools rigs. Next, will it replace one of the screens in your photo? I would move the small stuff on your desk off to one side or maybe get a small rack and move them off the desktop completely. If you are going for a 2 screen setup, I would center your smaller on as low as possible and wall-mount the bigger one. If you are going for 3 screens, that takes a lot of vertical space. One trick that I use is to place my bottom screen(a 27") on an angle about how the Slate MTi2 sits(had to modify my desk). Then I have a 42"(1080P) mounted behind/above so the bottom edge of the screen(not the bezel) is even with the top of the lower screen. Then I have a third 27" mounted above the 42". I run the MIX window on the bottom and EDIT window on the biggest screen. The top gets my memory locations and Fabfilter EQ(expanded to a large size) which shows a frequency graph(very handy for reference). If you have yet to purchase, a 1080 TV may end up looking better(the double-resolution just makes everything smaller)

Yes I got a 49 inch Toshiba on "Deal of the day" $300!
Iv been using it for a month, as a display. I had to purchase a 4K HDMI to Display port on my GTX 670 video card.
