People have different preferences.

I have a dual monitor setup including a 48" OLED and Love it. It's the perfect size and I will not go smaller ever again. I can sit back in my chair and still be able to read everything.

The 48" monitor is exactly the same size as two 27" monitors in portrait, so it's great for two windows next to each other - say if I'm programming on the left and have stackoverflow on the right.

The other monitor is mostly for stuff I'm not using at the time, like foobar2k or some window that I want to keep an eye on but don't need to use at the moment. Or youtube.

Same story - I've been using a 55in oled for a couple of years now, it's fantastic, especially with something like Rectangle for window management

What is your viewing distance? Do you still need to move your head to see the corners? I was curious about 48" and too wanted to try it.

Maybe slightly less than a metre, I think. Maybe I move my head a bit? Not much though, I think I mostly just move my eyeballs, lol!

I just like that I can lean back in the chair with my head resting on the headrest and read everything.

Just imagine four 24" monitors in a 2x2 arrangement, and that's how big it is.

48" is my size though, I don't want larger or smaller, I'm set.

I'm kinda tempted to buy on of those LG C2 55". I tried with my TV and native at 4K text is finally readable. Damn.. Thank you for the info.

I would probably want to be a fair bit further away if it was 55", maybe 1.5-2m.

Some people mount them to the wall behind their desk.
