Which model of monitor do you use?

Cheap VA (Samsung S32A700), I use mostly as a TV though. I always would get tired quickly previously from 32 inchers, but recently I started liking them more than 27 inch; do not get tired anymore.

This will unavoidably sound like one-upmanship, but I've been using a 43" 4K screen in my home office for probably five or six years now. I'm on my second panel. The first one was a Hisense TV and the new one is an Aorus monitor.

It is absolutely fantastic. My eyes are around four feet from the screen and I don't get that blurred vision you get from extended near-work anymore. I could never go back.

Yea, I thought about it too, but my table is not as deep.

I do have a pretty deep table at around 33 inches, but my secret is that I use a lapdesk for my keyboard & mouse. I set the whole thing on an ottoman I have under the table for my feet when I'm done.

It's super comfortable and as long as I'm careful about the enormous screen I can still use the table for projects when not on the computer.

I also have a 43” 4K, which I still refer to as “comically large”. I very nearly decided it was a mistake, until I set it as low as I could on my desk. Even so, as a computer display I get more out of the vertical space than horizontal (and tend to ignore at least a third of the screen while at my desk). If it didn’t also serve as my TV, I’d probably be just as happy with a smaller screen in vertical orientation.

I don't understand why 5K @ 27" is so sought after. My partner uses a 4K 32" display currently and if I'm at a normal sitting distance, I couldn't tell the difference between it and a 5K Studio Display. The 32" is 137ppi which sounds low, but with your eyes at 25" away it's still "retina".

As I sit at my desk now looking at my 27" 1440p (108ppi) display at a distance of 23" I really cannot fathom having double the pixel density. Could it be better? Sure! I chose 144Hz over density, but double the amount of pixels? No way in hell

macOS fractional scaling never looked good for me on a 4K 32" screen. At 5K you can get a clean 2560x1440 integer scale.

4k on 32” doesn’t look good on windows either.

That's what I'm running now with 125% scale and it looks perfect to me.

I run it in KDE at 168% scaling. Yeah I like everything big and very smmoth.

4k 32" is 77% less pixels than 5k 27". That many pixels make night and day difference in text sharpness

4k on 32” is usable but is very clearly much less sharp than 4k on 27”. If you can’t tell the difference, you might need to update your glasses or contacts.
