How I Use a 4K TV as a Monitor for Productivity

Using a Big Screen 4K TV as a Computer Monitor is like having a multi-monitor, an ultrawide, a portrait display all bundled into one display. With the help of some tools and windows management strategies, I'm able to multi-task and stay productive on a 4K TV for working from home.

I'm using a LG CX 48 Inch TV.

Will Super Ultrawide or 16:9 Big Screen TVs be the future of Computer Monitors? I wonder...

I've been using 40" 4K TV's as computer displays since last year and its the best thing ever. Its the perfect time to start thinking about using them, prices are very affordable. and Microsofts Power Toys with Fancy Zones is a great pairing.

Thank you David for your curated technology and lifestyle videos. The quality of your videos illustrates the value of fewer but very topical content. All the best to you and your family during the holiday season.

This is the tip I really need in my workflow. Thanks!

Great video, I just learned I can drag a window to multiple sections in power tools. Game changing.

I just bought the lg for a content creation monitor, and I was literally writing a comment about what software you use. Then I saw this video thanks so much!

It feels like I'm getting out of breath when he takes too long to say "hi I'm David"

I clicked on this being skeptical at first but I get it now. Using a huge monitor can be very cool 🙂

[sjheeta]

this was a very impressive and informative video - thanks for your continued useful shares

[kdcyp]

Thank you so much for enlightening me as to how to organise my Windows! This is such an efficiency tool, especially when used with shorcuts! 🙏

[AfdhalAtiffTan]

Thank you for the ctrl + shift tips on the Powertoys!

[Gnaboaix]

I'm using my 55inch TV now thanks to you! It has been collecting dust. So happy to use it again! Making the money worth~~!

[ShadowPL]

Windows should have this builtin. I think tabs were promissed 2 years ago but still nothing

[alexandrubaginean]

That app that divides the screen its such a power tool, awesome. I also will buy a 4k monitor for developing

[complicated-antihero]

I just got FancyZones for a new Ultrawide Monitor and I had never heard of the spanning across zones feature. Thank you!

[Joker]

Thanks for the tip with Fancy Zones! Use it but didn't know about the multiple zones feature so far.

I've had all kinds of setups, from ultrawides to 2x, 3x and the ol' Then I bought a CHEAP 32 inch 4k TV and it's the best monitor experience yet. I have it set up almost exactly the same (Fancy Zones, Groupy) and I don't really miss having a second monitor. This is the cheapest and best upgrade I've ever made, and I wish I'd have done it sooner.

[FiRDrgn]

that is the exact setup am using for ultrawide monitor, but am using displayfusion instead. i divided my screen into two (2/3 and 1/3). in that way i don't need any shortcuts/keybinds. when i double click, the windows maximises into the exact dimensions of the "virtual screen" that is placed. so in a way my ultrawide monitor acts as if i have two monitors.

[JoLuna]

I bought a 55 inch TV mainly for gaming and some virtual machine stuff, and it's awesom, with this apps i can't go back to dual monitor, thanks!
