[Elecraft] 4k monitors for the shack, late 2019

[Richard Thorne]

Scott,

I've been looking at the following monitor 
https://www.newegg.com/lg-43ud79-b-43-uhd/p/N82E16824025629  The price 
recently dropped as it used to be in the $600+ range.

Watch the video on the LG site.  You can have multiple inputs. For 
example your main computer and maybe the output of the K4. It will be 
nice if and when DXLabs or N1MM can integrate dx spots onto the 
display.  Imagine having the K4 plugged into a large monitor and a mouse 
plugged into the K4.  When a spot you need or want shows up on the 
pan-adapter use the K4 mouse, click on the spot and bam, the rig is on 
frequency.

I'm currently running a Dell 34" curved monitor which has lots of real 
estate.  I'm thinking real hard about the LG 43" monitor because of the 
dual inputs.
