CES 2025 Wishlist

I have, just now, cycled through the following monitors on my desk with an FPS game in a dim-ish room... yes, these are lying around for some reason. And yes I did get my wife to stand around and measure :o :p
  • 24.5" 1080p: comfortable in-game viewing distance = 65cm
  • 27" 1440p: comfortable in-game viewing distance = 100cm
  • 32" 1440 (curved): comfortable in-game viewing distance = 135cm :eek:
I'm kind of amazes that it scaled so proportionately?!

The 32" as my 'work productivity monitor' and when I got it, I was always umm-ing and ahh-ing over whether I actually liked it, but decided to suck it up. Going through them now, it's by far away my least favourite of the 3, for my tastes. It's just too tall and I actually felt immediately motion sick when being too close. But you do just get used to whatever you had and I'm sure that anyone could make it work for them.

27" is the best, but 24.5" wasn't bad either. What's good about both is that you can move these forwards and backwards depending on what your doing... but I personally do need a lot of distance from the 32" to feel more comfortable.

So that's me waiting for the 27" 4K OLED then... arse.

Appreciate hearing your thoughts on the topic. I've come to the same conclusion that the 27" 4K OLED (perhaps a pair of them eventually) is my ideal monitor tech/size.

So likewise I'm going to play the waiting game for a bit longer!

Having played around with my existing 32” curved screen a bit… I think I’d be ok with it… so long as I have the monitor at an angle and I’m not sitting square on my desk (with it right in front of me).

I also realised that the 32” size was only too much when playing an FPS style game with quick mouse movement. Which is not my usual sort of game, but it’s what I was playing at the time, for some reason!
