If that 43" is at a standard arm=E2=80=99s length, you could use a tiling window manager to split it into a matrix of three columns by two rows, then treat it as six separate 16.3" monitors, 1280=C3=971080 pixels each. Also, how is it positioned? Ergonomic guidelines say the top of the monitor should be at eye level, but then the bottom edge will probably be below desk surface.
