Ideally what size monitor would you game on?

I have a 22" and 40".

I have not used my 22" for weeks until today and now it seems tiny.

I have 360 for windows controller and play all my pc games HDMI on 40", even browsing recently.

Now I have gone back to 22" it feels absolutely tiny like a psp or gameboy lol.

However, IMO for fps gaming online 40" is too big and I need to use keys+ mouse not controller.

Also I notice that there is much less lag and tear on the 22" vs 40"...off course the 22" is 2ms monitor LCD made for PC whereas 40" is just an HDTV.

This aint a problem for most games tbh I just notice when playing football games tbh, pro evo soccer.

I am thinking off buying a 24" for my fps games. its only 2" more though so will I even notice?

So do you prefer gaming on large screen on bed etc..or at desk on smaller screen?

For me the only benefit off small screen is I seem to do better on competitive fps games.

26" 1920x1200 @ 60hz here and very happy with it. When I next upgrade I might hang around the same screen size or drop down to a 24 but can't be sure yet, it is afterall a long way off. One thing though, graduating to a 120hz will be a certainty.

whats the benefit of 120hz
