Couldn't possibly afford it. Our last two TVs were $234 (55") and $250 (43", inc Roku). It costs $330 for the cheapest 34" monitor at https://www.pcmag.com/deals/best-computer-monitor-deals-this-month The only walk-in monitor is $350 for 34" at BestBuy, but it has to be ultra-wide. (Both TVs were walk-ins.) Otherwise, it's down to 32" for $170 at Walmart, or 24" for $230 at Target. Cheers, David.
