I’ve got a 16” 4K Asus zenbook laptop that I could hook up to 60” LG 4 k on the wall
I do that sometimes for pictures, or streaming something but not for that. You'd need to crank down the resolution with a 4k monitor because it would show everything in a tiny text size. Can the ID-thief neighbors see your TV through the window? That would be an issue with our TV!
I'm all for the big monitor hooked up to a laptop. They are basically (not so) small TVs. And they are dirt cheap. I picked up a 27" brand name one for close to $200 - remember how much that would have cost even 5 years ago? It'll work with any Windows or Mac laptop, we are done with the age of needing to load video drivers from a CD. Just need to get the right cable - I'm able to use the HDMI that came with it.
I also have a Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. With Bluetooth and a printer through the router there's really no need anymore for a docking station.
