What is your optimal monitor size?

TheGreatPotato:
Yep, same here. Dual screens killed my neck, 43" 4K gives multi-monitor space without twisting your head, just scale your UI so stuff isn’t tiny.

phinix:
42"
I had 40" for years and felt right, then tried 48" at it was too big for such short distance (70cm from a screen).
Now I have 42" and its perfect.

Samsung has a new 27"  500hz qdoled.  Exciting but 2 small.

42" seems huge, feels like anything bigger than around 34" you'd be constantly moving your neck slightly to adjust your line of sight
I guess it depends on depth of desk

Curved seems perfect for an upper 2nd monitor since the curvature works with the overhead angle, it would be like a spaceship HUD

also I can never go back to regular refresh rate. got to be 240 or more, or it causes tickling in the front of my brain.

I think it also depends on your visual field (the span you can change your view just by moving your eyes)
At around 70cm distance, I can see everything on my 43" just moving the eyes.
The 2x24"setup (~7inch wider) would require me to move my neck...
So it also depends on biometrics of the head etc.
