  - probably any 4k tv will work for her, just make sure the cables match up. Does her laptop have hdmi or is it display port or usb-c? - decline Mar 29, 10:49 2
    - We don't have the laptop yet. Waiting for the new ROG Zephyrs to come out (they have a built in webcam) - spamlet Mar 29, 10:56 1

I don't think she'll be doing much "computer work" on it. Mostly gaming and watching stuff. -- nm - spamlet Mar 29, 10:34 2
- I thought this but regretted not getting a monitor-suitable TV almost instantly. buy for the future. laptop screens are bad for equations etc. -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 29, 10:50 1
  - So if you were doing it again, what would you get? -- nm - spamlet Mar 29, 11:01
