If that 43" is at a standard arm’s 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, 1280×1080 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.
