Hardware specs are in order after seeing 3-48's. What video card are
you driving this with. CPU? RAM....?
I cannot imagine the number of windows you could possibly have open at
any one time while being able to see them all at once.

Likewise, much the same, I was going to go with 40", but a buddy got
one of the seiki cheap 4k tv's, and it was just too small, odd to say.
Standing in front of a 55" seemed too big, I ended up with the 48's
that I think are just about right with 4k, and curved was nice for the
desktop. I could have lived with the 55's I think.

I spread things out as well, and I can still full-screen chrome or
whatever, zoom in, and read with my aging eyes. Even with 11520x2160
pixels, I still end up with clutter piling up at times. KDE's idle
windows as transparent is great for this.
Ubuntu/Unity just sorta barfs and never finishes launching on mine to
test with compiz the pretty features.

I’ve been using a 39” 4K TV as a monitor with my MacBook Pro for about
8 months now. (I keep the MBP closed.)
My only complaint is not the monitor, but the fact that my eyesight is
degrading (I’ll be 60 next month) and I can’t read most stuff
displayed at “native” resolution. This is true of the Retina display
on my MBP as well. Younger eyes would probably really love it at
native resolution (ie., much smaller renderings).
My opinion at this point is that 39” is too small for a 4K monitor.
But parallax plus “angle of incidence” that some monitors have (ie,
the effective viewing angle) becomes a problem with larger screens
when you’re sitting a little more than an arm’s-length away.
To be viewed most effectively, the screen really needs to be curved
spherically or parabolically, where the eyeballs are positioned at the
centroid of the curve.
But I have to say, it’s AWESOME to be able to have two or three apps
open in different windows and have them spread out on a large viewing
area without overlapping. It’s basically like having four HD monitors
right there.
