Ask HN: Anyone using a 40“/43” display for mixed dev/TV?

I've been using a 28" 4k display and a 32" tv and 50" tv (in a different room). I'm considering just getting a 43" display for use as both.

There's a particular model that is intriging, the 43UD79-B[0]. It's an IPS display that's billed as a monitor rather than a TV. It seems to have most of what I'm looking for, with a bonus of multi-input split screen and a USB kvm.

Only downsides might be too large (no one seems to make 37"/40" monitors) and grayish blacks with lights turned off.

What experiences have you had combining functions with a large-ish TV/monitor?
