Asus ROG Strix XG438Q
If a TV or an Nvidia BFGD is too big for your gaming, but a regular monitor is too small, the 43-inch Asus ROG Strix XG438Q is a lustworthy alternative for serious players. It's not cheap, but its panel is nimble and eye-popping.

It’s huge, includes plenty of great quality features – but the high price and unique form factor mean it won’t be suitable in every instance.
