That would be nice for CAD work, but it would have to be an actual PC monitor, not a TV. 42 inch would be just about right for my desk. The only ones I've seen are 32 inch, which is too small to replace four monitors.

    I think 50 inch is about the upper end for what can fit on a desk, but a 42 inch is the upper limit for most. I used to have a 42inch 4k monitor ($400), but it broke and got discontinued. It was basically a 42inch IPS TV display.

    I still miss that display.

    I've got a 43" 4k Gigabyte Aorus display. 144hz+freesync, dual hdmi+usb-c+DP with a hub and all that. It's IPS, they had an OLED but it was 48" and more money than I could justify at the time.

    Definitely recommend, but 8k would be so much better. I know this article is primarily "no 8k TVs" but the panels are used across many segments and I fear they will no longer have manufacturering setup for 8k for desktop use either at this rate.
