I use three. I put the edit window on the center 43", which keeps me in the sweet spot. Mix window goes to the right 24", and plugs or video to the left 24".

The LG 43" 4k with PBP just went on sale for $500 at costco.com. Given their return policy i ordered one and it will arrive shortly. I will post some pics and a review especially regarding scaling. I figure if it doesnt work out no biggie i just return it. Peter

Check this video it goes through it very nicely and will show you the display and PBP. Also costco.com today dropped the price to $500 so I would grab one if you are a member because if it doesnt work out they take it back no questions asked. Ill be posting an update once mine arrives of what I think. peter

As I understand it, 4K screens are not such a good choice for PT

My third monitor is a 65" 4k. No issues. (other 2 are 27" 2560x1440)
They all run off of a Nvidia GTX 980 4GB. All by displayport.
