On my desk, 32* 1440p looks just perfect in my viewing distance.

I went from a 34" ultrawide to a 48" OLED. At first I thought it was too much, but after a week I quickly got used to it. I tried going back to my 34" for a little bit and it felt like looking at a phone screen! Large format isn't for everyone, but with the screen at the back of my desk, I never have to turn my neck to see all four corners.

Nah massive screen for PC gaming is just too jarring , Unless all you do on your PC is play laid back games with your controller. I've had 42 and 48 (even placed back with enough space) and I just can't deal with it when I need to concentrate up close and personal.. On certain stuff I do and a bunch of games I play. I mean, Yeah I could have my 32 (perfect size imo) on a desk and have a big ass screen hooked up someone else with a couch for laid back controller fun, But i can't be bothered with the hassle lol.

@@mozzjones6943 In my bedroom, I was able to position my monitors near enough to my wall mounted TV that I can just swivel my 42-inch 4096x2160p TV to the left and either play at around a distance of 4.5 --5.5 ish feet away, or I can just look forward at my 27-inch 1440p monitor. If I want to play in bed, just turn my TV back to face my bed, and do the same with one of my monitors if I'm watching KZread or something while gaming. As someone who almost exclusively plays single player AAA games, having a 1440p 100 Hz monitor and a 60 Hz 4k TV (paired with an RTX 3080 and an i5 12600k/32GBDDR4 3800mhz/Gen4 NVMe 2tb x3) has been a great monitor set up for me. I'm gonna for the same card next gen, maybe I'll go and again depends on whatever gives me more VRAM, but either the 5080/8900XT ish area, and I'm, more than pleased with DLSS at 4k, so I think I will have the hardware to continue to push 4k. I used to be so obsessed with my framerate, but nowadays, I'm fine with 100 Hz. A nighttime setting with the moon shining on the grass in RDR2 or even Ghost of Tsushima 4k HDR really makes you ogle at the screen and say "Damn, I'll sacrifice a few fps for this" lol. I'm looking to grab a 27-inch Full HDR 1440p display, but considering just springing for a 32 inch 4k, but then I think I want an ultrawide, but then if I get an ultrawide, I don't get 4k, but I do get a dope ass fucking 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio and 1440p is still beautiful with full HDR, but 4k HDR looks impeccable, so I'm all fucked up when it comes to the choice of my next monitor lol. I still feel that 42 might be a good choice for me personally, because I have two other displays I would use for general use, and I only really game with a controller recently, until I want to get back into whatever RPG from back in the day like Kotor that are just abysmal to play with controllers.

This looks like a great monitor, as mentioned in the video, for an in between of a traditional monitor and a tv. If your monitor position is a short distance from your head and you find a 32" monitor a tad bit small for your preference, then this would be a great consideration instead of a traditional tv, or as an option if you just want to be able to lean back and play with a remote, as demonstrated in the video too.

I now have a 1440p monitor that I got for free from a friend and it's terrible compared to my 4k TV. I want to upgrade to oled 144hz 4k at 43in or perhaps larger. I recommend being 30inches away or more from a 43in or bigger monitor or TV. I'm planning on getting a rolling TV stand that's height adjustable so I can perfect my viewing angles. I also use my TV as my TV for my bedroom for watching movies so going bigger would make a better movie experience as my TV is 12 ft away from where my eyes would be in bed. I love how immersive my large 4k TV is. Playing games like red dead redemption 2 is an absolute dream and I even get a bit of a competitive advantage in games like battlefield because I can see further due to the sharp crisp 4k resolution and the large format allows me to crank up the fov if I want. Overall it's going to be a personal preference but be careful as once you go 4k large screen you will never go back!

I've got the ROG XG43UQ (43" 4K UHD 16:9), on the ROG x IKEA UPPSPEL desk (80cm / 32" deep), and it's just about perfect. That size at that distance basically fills my main field of vision, and doesn't really need you to be actively moving your head around in normal use. It was a leap of faith to choose to go that big, took a little getting used to and some tuning of desktop scaling and stuff, but I'm glad I did. It's highly immersive in games, and the image quality is awesome. Pixel density is clean and crisp, you don't see the individual pixels. Going big also gives you extras like HDR1000, compared to HDR600 on typical premium 32" monitors. No regrets, and I'd go for roughly that size again if I had to start over.

I recently bumped up to a 65 inch TV for my home theatre setup and playing first person stuff on it initially took some getting used to. As you said, it kinda felt like being in a wormhole or something haha. Now I've adjusted to the extra viewing angle it's great but it'd be awful being sat too close to it. Definitely feel like bigger screens don't work out very well as PC monitors.

For scenarios where you need to focus to a smaller space like with gaming, you play windowed and leave the desktop black and empty. The point of these large high resolution monitors is to have a larger workspace, not to use everything necessarily in full screen. Like instead of multiple monitor setups.

Well done for resisting the 'that's what she said' moment after declaring it the 'longest screw ever'. True professional.

I'm currently using a 43" 4K TV for a monitor. I've been using bigger displays for years. What I've personally found is you must train yourself to move your eyes and not your neck. 42-43" is perfect to cover your field of view and immerse you into the game. And, moving just your eyes, you do not need to move your head. Any larger, depending on how far back your monitor is, of course, and you will have to move your head. Plus, gaming aside, screens this size in 4K allow 2-3 windows at the same size with large, crisp content.

Wonderfully said.

The analogy with the Pagani Zonda was very ilustrative.

The proper sitting distance for a 4k display is the distance where it takes up most of your field of view but you can see it all, all the time, just a little eye movement to focus on different sides/corners. I sit about 3-4 ft away from my 55". I bought a 1080p 42" TV back around 2010, and just a few months ago I upgraded to a 55" 4k QLED. And I would happily take something at that size and resolution at 60 Hz over something smaller (27") 1440p and 120 Hz. I bought a monitor to go alongside the TV, figuring I'd use the TV for watching whatever video I'm streaming and then see what all the fuss was about for high FPS gaming at 1440p on the monitor. The 1440p monitor might have been okay as the only upgrade from the old 1080p TV, but after experiencing the joy of 4k at 55" I couldn't go to anything under 4k now. And I'm the kind of person that as long as my FPS is stable at 30 FPS or more I can't really tell the difference. Right at 30 FPS I kinda can... but 40+ is great and I feel like I'm wasting money on a display that does more than that. I spent hours trying to find the magical difference in the 120 Hz of the 1440p monitor (and before people ask, I was deliberately running games where I was getting at least that output shown by a Windows app overlay and in game FPS counters, usually games a few years old running on my 3060ti, so it's not like my GPU was only outputting 60 frames on a 120 Hz display). And I couldn't tell. The only thing I'd notice is that things didn't look as sharp at 1440p as they did at 4k, even when having them take up the same amount of my field of vision, and I'd just get the urge to go back to my 4k display. If I got farther away from the 1440p it was simply "fine". So I returned the monitor because it felt like a waste of money. My TV was $450 for 60 Hz, and the monitor was like $300 for 120 Hz. Bigger and higher resolution for me any day, over smaller and lower resolution with a higher refresh rate.

Your observations about games like Forza/etc really highlights one of the things that has been good about console gaming for years and years, being able to sit back comfortably with a big tv and nice sound system. And while you are able to do that with a PC, its always been a much more expensive way to play, especially if you want to use Keyboard+Mouse instead of a controller. And your comment about needing to sit 9 feet back really does draw that comparison to consoles, as the UI for consoles/set top boxes/tvs/etc are known as 10 foot(or 3 meter) UIs, essentially since they need to be usable from long distance and with a more limited or specific control set (arrow keys and non-generic controls usually).

I have two 50" "monitors" on my desktop. I don't game on them often, but I don't really have any issues with neck pain or anything and I spend hours every day on them. I think you get used to it and the extra screen real estate comes in handy.

I just got this exact monitor a few days ago and have been playing a lot of Warzone on it. And I absolutely love it. I don’t have the neck issues people talk about (and I play PC). Am curious tho what settings did you change on the monitor?

His complaints are severely over exaggerated. I personally don't get how people play on a 27" monitor. I'd have to be inches away to use one. I too have this monitor and previously was using a 42" LG monitor. It's great if you play games and watch movies/KZread. But I'm going to return this due to it not being enough of a upgrade from my 42" to justify the $1000 price I paid for it. Hopefully the 2023 models will be better.

Those ports facing rearward were a major oversight.

I tried my 48 inch T.V as a monitor like two weeks ago with HDR on. Man that thing made my eyes feel like they were two rotating stars ready to collapse in on them selves at any given moment

i play on a 43" Lg monitor since many years, and i can definitely say you dont have the right position yet. First, get in fully back of your seat, next, put your feet on the desk. you are now, at least, 10 feet from your screen, finally enjoy :D

Using a Philips Momentum 55" for 2 years, before that I was using a Sony TV 49" ... depending on your desk size the sweet spot is between 43 and 55". For 55" I have a 90cm width desk and that's perfect. I use it mainly for productivity (Visual Studio), but also for games and movies.

I've been using my 55" TV as a monitor for 4 years, from maybe 2 feet away! Not being able to see everything at once is great for immersive games. However, if I need to see the whole screen (e.g. a 3 hour progressive raiding session), then I simply choose to play in a smaller window! I open up an full screen application that gives a nice blank background, then put the game and discord on top. I am used to 27" 1080p displays, so it is equivalent to 4 of those; I've never had the 27" 1440p experience, so don't feel like I missed out, though that sounds like a great experience

I'm in the market for a neck injury, beets the 19" monitor I got now. If being to close is an issue mount it on the wall in front of your desk, typically wall mounts will give you enough room for plug ins. I have seen Red Dead Redemption 2 on a Samsung 50" OLED TV and it looked amazing.

Hello from Australia and Lucky you! I'm still stuck with a 720p monitor 😭 my gigabyte Rx 6700xt oc must hate me 🤣 also keep up the good work I absolutely love the videos!

I don't know your situation, but I would think it would have been better to get at cheaper GPU and upgrade your display to at least 1080p.

SOMEONE get this man a Rechargeable Battery Sponsorship! Lol

Sooo waiting on the 42 version!!! The 48 is only 899 right now on Amazon

What a coincidence, I just installed not 1 but 3 large 4k tvs for my rig; 50+55+50. For my driving simulators. I also got a neck injury, but that was because of a fall on the ice yesterday; not related to the displays 😀 It's like I'm running 8 24" and 4 27" 1080p monitors and I love it

1:58 no they say it's the bestagon

I literally JUST got this monitor and I do a lot of PC gaming, (except rn because Ragnarok is out), and I love it with everything in me. I will say however that I don't have it as close to me as Dawid does.

We need the return of Christmas Dawid to help us buy gifts (Wig and all). He is the hero we need, not the one we deserved.

I like out the back ports, trying to feel out hidden ports always a pain.

I've got the Aorus FV43U and it's honestly pretty fantastic.

Same here! I thought about going with the 48" OLED, but I'm too worried about burn in. But for a VA panel, the FV43U is beautiful. I also love having a remote for my monitor.

LG C1 user here. Love it. Won't ever go back to a tiny monitor. The emersion factor just isn't there with a tiny screen.

I think my primary gaming monitor is a 35" curved display? I should probably know for sure but I think that is the size and it felt perfect for FPS titles. A 48" flat screen is crazy although I used to play Elite Dangerous and Rocksmith on a 65" 4K TV. That was sweet.

I have a 42" LG C2 as my primary monitor.. Does the job,, that's for sure. 120hz (well 119hz to be accurate) with G-Sync capability.. And holy Hemostat does it ever feel amazing. Though my eyes strain a bit because of it. So i am going to have to get some gaming glasses i think. :)

"Can a ..... be TOO big" sounds like the beginning of a dirty joke Dawid would tell.

I've been using the Gigabyte 48" OLED for a year and I love it!

I used to play on my 50in 4k Samsung TV when I first got my PC, and it is great if you get the right distance from the display. I got small portable desk for the setup.

No, you just need to look at it from a propper distance. 15 cm phone screen in hand is same angular field of vision as 24 inch monitor on a table or 55 inch tv few meters away... approximately.

I use a 65" LG Nanocell (4K120 Gsync capable version) as a PC monitor with my eyes 1m from the screen for desktop use. It's crazy but I love it.

All depends on the viewing distance. What is still "good" for the eyes in my point of view.: 42"-48" 4K need at least 1-2 meter viewing distance. 32" flat around 80cm. 32" curved a bit less around 60-70cm. 27" 50-60cm.

Dawid the intro looks great as like every single video you have made but could you change the intel socket scene. Like every time I see it I have dreams of the new horrible lga 1700 socket that no good cooler fits into without a new bracket. Thanks you are my favorite tc

Had this monitor for about four months now, and this thing is sweet, perfect size for me, because I am not sitting up under the monitor .

longest screw ever... Anna smirking in the background

I have the Aorus 48 inch 4k OLED gaming monitor, it's fantastic. Build on the LG c1 panel

Perfect size, been using tv as pc monitor since 2001, but I do not sit that close to the screen, more like tv distance. Will get one like this one when it gets cheap enough.

I appreciate the zonda reference.

I have a wall mounted 55", and a desk with wheels. For desktop use i move the desk close and mostly use the bottom half as if it were a ultrawide 1080p, with the nice bonus of costing half as much and having space at the top to keep an eye on some more windows. For mouse and keyboard gaming i move the desk back, and for gamepad games and watching movies i get the desk out of the way and i have a couch on the other side of the room. Frankly i would never go back to puny small monitors, at least in that room...

Been using an LG 48" OLED as my gaming monitor for 2 years now. Don't think I can ever go back.

I always had reasonably large Monitor. CRT 15" with the 486, 17" with K6-2, 19" with Athlon, then moved to TFT in 2002 with 19", then 28" 1920x1200 in the Phenom days to 42" 4k TV in 2015 and since last year 43" with a Gigabyte fv43. I tried the larger ones but it seems that even for a "Big Monitor guy" 42/43" is the sweetspot. Gaming is awesome and it is also great for working. I am a CAD engineer and always have SolidWorks, Excel, Explorer and Outlook on the screen without much problems.

Hey Dawid what speakers did you use in this video?

Next week on Dawid Does Tech Stuff, Dawid games on an AliExpress computer attached to an Imax screen.
