Dave, thank you.? Beautiful!

I'm looking to understand what is needed in a new graphics card to match a 4K/UHD or a 1440p monitor without breaking the bank, grin.
?
Any advice will be appreciated.
+ I use a 32" HP Z32 display, whose resolution in 3840 x 2160, driven by an Nvidia GTX760. As you can see in this screenshot, it can simultaneously display SpotCollector's, DXKeeper's, DXView's, and Commander's Main windows, DXKeeper's Capture window, DXView's World Map window, Commander's Bandspread and Spectrum-Waterfall windows, the WSJT-X Main and "Wide Graph" windows, and my email client:
?
+ Amazon sells the Z32 for $1100, but they also sell a 32" Samsung display with same resolution for $300. Check objective evaluation sites like "Tom's Hardware" and ZDNet to understand the differences.
?
+ Perplexity reports that "The Nvidia GTX 760, a mid-range GPU from 2013, is roughly equivalent in performance to modern entry-level GPUs like the GTX 1650 or RTX 3050. These cards provide better efficiency, updated features (e.g., ray tracing), and support for modern games, making them suitable replacements". Amazon sells the GTX 1650 for $175. Again, check objective evaluation sites.
+ When I first began developing DXLab back in 1990, a 1280 x 1024 Eizo monitor cost $5000. My assumption about the long-term cost of screen space was accurate.
