This is a guide on how to chose between all the relevant monitor sizes on the market and pick the one perfect for you.
22" vs 24" vs 27" vs 32" vs 42" vs 48" vs 55"
An in depth, analytic and data based inquiry into external monitor size.
How does your most comfortable focusing distance influence your ideal monitor size?
This video starts from first principles: analysing how the resting point of accommodation of the eye and that of vergence contribute to the comfort in front of a screen.
With this knowledge we mention if the tempting LG OLED 42" , 48" and 55" are a good purchase and what are the drawbacks of using a TV in place of a computer monitor.
Is the popular 32" monitor size actually the best for you?
There are several things to consider in order to answer this question such as the panel brightness, monitor weight, whether you are nearsighted and of course the price.
So after comparing the notable aspects of a 32" monitor that are not as impactful for a 27", we also mention whether you should consider the correlation between myopia and near-work.
Are smaller sizes, like 22" and 24", worth it for 4K? We share our opinion on this and surprisingly 22" do have one great use case where they excel.
Then we wrap up with an infographic that compares all the different sizes with a particular emphasis on your age as a criterion for choosing the best monitor size for you!
Whether you are considering getting an OLED as a monitor and pondering if it's a good idea, deciding between a 32 inch and a 27 inch monitor or if you want a guide on how to chose the right monitor size based on first principles such as the resting point of accommodation, the resting point of convergence, your myopia, desk depth, and more, this is the video to watch.

The length of this video is the best monitor size.
I have a 1440p 240hz 32 inch Samsung odyssey g7 monitor, and I think that it is perfect.
@@spazism8405 do you recommend it ?
Can you see any pixels ?
Is it too big for gaming?
@@dineshdas8392 yes I highly recommend if you have the money and the right pc. And no it’s not too big for gaming, I play Fortnite competitively and as long as you’re not too close to the monitor it’s not going to seem big. Also if you get it make sure you get the 32 inch version bc the monitor has an 1000R curve, and the curve would be too steep for the 27 inch screen
@@dineshdas8392 also there are no pixels
Ya 27"
This is one of the top videos, if not the first place, on how to choose a monitor. Very considerate of you to go through this extent. High quality content and I've been actively looking for a new monitor for more than a year already.
Wow ! I was supposed to order my monitors today . Gonna take a step back and decide which ones to go with. Thank you I really appreciate the research and effort put in this video . Subscribed for more !
I can only see out of my left eye & even in that eye im legally blind, so finding the right monitor size/resolution has always been a challenge. So its Nice to see an informative video addressing some of my questions, thnx
This is by far the best monitor explanation video I've ever seen. I hope you get a million subs🤗
Loved the first principles approach and the mix of personal experience with data and research. Can't wait for the next video about display resolutions!
So far the best advice around monitor sizes / use cases. I am really impressed by the level of detail you've gone into. Personally I've had 55, 48inch Oled monitors in the last 5 years and currently settled on a 48inch oled. Still thinking about 32inch but not sure about resolution...The only issue I have with big monitors is figureing out where to put the damn web cam!
If your going 32 in go 1440p
One of the better researched video. Focused. Content is jam-packed with good points. Deserve more subs.
Thanks for all this information. Really well put together
Thank you for the subtitles! Very helpful
Serious effort here. Amazing job guys! It must have taken a lot of time to make a video this 'densely'. Keep up the great stuff! Earned a new sub.
I am going with a 27 inch cuz this vid is 27 min long
Hi, here's a quick hack.
For "short" desk like yours. You need to mount the monitor on the wall, and moves you're desk away from the wall.
PS: by mounting monitor to the wall, it allow you to put the monitor partially "bellow the desk"
Phenomenal review, so thorough and detailed thank you!!
Awesome, very detailed video. I'm 50 years old, with good eyesight (just beginning to need glasses, my eye vergence and accomodation just started changing). Just starting to get back to work after 1.5 years working at home almost exclusively. We have dual 32" 4k at work and a work issued laptop, I have the option to purchase monitors with my own money to ease my work at home experience and possibly continue to make that a significant portion of my work week. A deal recently came up on a nice samsung 27/28" 4k display and this video has helped me decide to purchase 2 based on this video, knowing that I might only be able to use them for a few years and probably want a 32" upgrade due to my age but I was able to factor that into the cost. I don't consider the comment about the length of this video to be applicable (any comment is valid, I just think it doesn't fit with the real audience of this particular analysis). I wanted a DETAILED review of monitor size 27" vs 32" and after much frustration with gaming only analysis of 4k monitors and very little analysis of screen size and ergonomics this video finally answered my questions. Thank you! Where is the monitor resolution video you mentioned?
I guess he was *planning* to make it but finally didn’t.
Very thorough, detailed content. Subscribed (you deserve way more than 535 subs). And thank you for saying I've aged like fine wine :D
Initially I was about to skip this video since I was simply looking for a brief break down of popular sizes to help me decide which size to get. Ended up watching the whole thing.
Thank you for all of this valuable information. Sub'd
finally, a video that tackles this issue of monitor size and sight. I just ordered yesterday glasses for viewing computer screen (I have strong myopia and presbyopia and wear adaptive glasses that make it difficult to find a position to view a small screen ... so I ordered plain glasses to reduce some diopters. So myopia yields a closest ) and I am in search for a screen for editing video .... and definitely bigger is not better. I need to view again several times your points to understand them right (la tua pronuncia inglese potrebbe essere più fluente e più facile da capire ... Penso che capirebbe meglio in italiano anche se non è madrelingua.) Your content is exceptional and I have not seen around people commenting on eye condition and screen size, which is the most important factor.
Great video. I would love to see one on the optimum sizes for differing workflow uses.
Your videos are so good that is hurts me. It’s criminal that they aren’t more popular.
Thank you so much!
We really hope we manage to grow this channel to being viable in a not too distant future. Hopefully achieving that doing comprehensive analysis on a topic, something I personally really love to see in RUclips videos!
this video kindly showed me that the problem with my current monitor is my age, thank you mate for all the info (and for the kind words)
Best info about monitors that I’ve seen so far…subbed.
Excellent video! Informative, witty and humorous. Subbed!
Hoping you to make an indepth review on
flat vs. curved monitor.
16:9 vs 21:9 vs 32:9
Whoa nobody covers the topic this extensively! Subed
I'm currently deciding between a 27" 1440p monitor, which becomes 'retina' at ~ 81cm vs a 32" 4k monitor which becomes retina at ~ 64cm. Given what you've posted here, it seems like the 27" 1440p monitor would be better, even for someone in their 40s? I don't really understand your recommendation that older people can use bigger monitors at higher resolutions given the limits of visual acuity and comfortable viewing distances you previously discussed. Beyond 81cm the main benefit is crisper text. At normal seating distances, even a 32" monitor will require scaling to be comfortable. At 1.5x scaling you're basically back to 1440p effective 'real estate'. Could you please expand on your recommendation for larger monitors at higher resolution for older people?
Soon 1 million... Appreciate the content quality... 👍👍
Very detailed video. Thanks!
Great and detail content you got my subscription !!
This is undoubtedly the best video on the subject of monitor size. Thank you. I love your Italian accent.
Thank you buddy for making this video and sharing your thoughts about the monitor. It was very descriptive and helpful for me in deciding which monitor to buy.
Thanks for this, really helpful !
I'm just about to purchase a monitor for gaming purposes and more. I'm planing on using it in a computer desk and was considering the range of 32" inch size, 1440p instead of the 27" one. But now watching this video I took my decision already, I'll go for a 27", 1440p, IPS panel since I was worried about the big size of a 32" monitor being a trouble. Thank you so much for this video, it was very useful and I appreciate the great effort put on making it. I subscribed to your channel and I encourage you to keep doing amazing content like this :)
Thank you for taking the time to write this wholesome comment!
We'll continue to make videos and we hope in the future to be able to allocate more time into it to have more frequent uploads!
I have a 32 1440p and bought a 27 inch after because of the hype and ended up returning it. Much happier with my 32 much more immersive. They were both curved too. I even like the size of icons more on the 32. I understand 27 has better ppi but still prefer the 32. Just my opinion though
This is excellent, and really helped in my purchase decision: I'm in my late 30's, so a 32" is the go. Thanks so much for your research and effort! I'd love to hear your perspective on curved vs flat screens and IPS vs VA. Which of these do you think is best for productivity and text tasks?
Hi Tyson!
In my opinion, flat is the way to go for 16:9 and curved for 21:9 and beyond.
I personally haven't tried a VA panel so I can't really give you my take from actual experience, but I'd like to suggest to watch this very straightforward video for an introductory top level explanation: ruclips.net/video/34bqY7CToHg/видео.html .
For productivity, I'd personally go for an IPS monitor mainly for larger viewing angles (for the extra flexibility in case you later want to use the monitor as a secondary screen) and usually more legible text when scrolling and so on due to lower black smearing. Yet the latest VA panels from Samsung (such as in the Odyssey G7 (16:9 curved though) are pretty good as far as dark to dark transition response times and therefore black smearing goes).
@@factcheck1845 I think sharpness of fonts and such are playing a role as well and I tested 27" 4k and 1440p as well as an 32" 4k display. I found the 27" 4k easiest on the eyes and fonts where just sharper and more readable. I am turning 34 soon and I think this plays a bigger role then we expected. My viewing distance with the 27" 4k display is 70 cm and around 80 for the 32" 4k display.
Great content combined with some style and flair!!
Thank you I appreciate this! Finally some good information and not just a marketing ploy
I have appreciated 22 inch monitors for dual screen, space and price point and the availability as well as seeing hi refresh.
24 is like a standard monitor size nowadays
I own a 24, 30 inch ultrawide, and 2 27 inch monitors. Ill bring out the 24 for trouble shooting other computers and running tests on consoles. Some times i will lay down on a pad when i need to stretch my back and continue working on a project, ill have my 24 or 30 inch ultrawide on the floor. As of now, i decided hooking up my 27 inch curved and 43 inch tv as a 2nd display and for youtube and some gaming. Most of the time i been utilizing 27 inch monitors.
I think go with what is comfortable and natural to you. 27 has become a happy medium and is immersive as ever.
This video answered all my questions and even added more into my knowledge....u earned a Sub 👍🏻
Great work, much appreciated.
This is a really great guide, thank you for this
This was probably the most comprehensive video I've ever seen on this topic. Instant subscribe! The only thing you could have done better is to cite the sources you used for this video.
Was lost in a sea of monitor reviews until I stumbled across your video. Very insightful.
Don't mind me picking your brain on dual monitor setups. I am currently currently running an old 24" 1080p TN panel, and I would like to slowly upgrade into a dual monitor setup, one with a high refresh rate for games and another normal monitor to provide me extra screen real estate to put reference material when working with spreadsheets and reports. Previously when I work I would just disconnect my monitor from my desktop and use it with my laptop to provide me with 2 screens. In the new setup the main monitor will be directly in front while the supporting monitor will be off to the side with a focus ratio of about 70:30
In a setup like this would sticking with dual 24" be better than 27" to reduce the need to rotate the head too much or is 27" just nice.
I think a good option to significantly improve your set-up would be a to get an IPS 4k/1440p 27" to place centrally and than to re-use your 1080p 24" vertically on the side just for reference material to be seldomly used.
As far as monitors go, I like to have a look on the options, if you're ok with doing some market research and good at making worth evaluations, yet if you also want a high refresh rate AND high resolution panel, consider that there are not many options and prices are not generally cheap.
Anyway, keep in mind that since the panel is TN, it's usable but not ideal to be positioned on the side because you'll need to dial in its position so that you're watching it from as straight of an angle as possible.
Still it would be a pretty sweet set up imho, and to be fair resolution on the side monitor is not super important in my experience, so as you say it would be pretty monetarily efficient to reuse the 1080p panel as a secondary monitor on a side, but as mentioned I suggest to try place it vertically to reduce head movement and see if it's your cup of tea!
@@factcheck1845 Thanks for the feedback. The new panel + using old vertically is what I was considering as well. Will try that setup and see how it goes :). Will also go 27"1440p as I am not sure if my old GTX1080FE can run 4k + 1080p well.
Once I read a book about speed reading and they say it's faster to read by tilting your eyes than your head, indeed.
So, my rule of thumb is if I don't need to tilt my head to see based on current sit distance/height, that monitor size is good enough.
The best video I've ever seen on this topic!
Excellent guide. I was considering 32 inch 4k vs 27 inch 4k. Tho I would suggest having more pictures/ charts in your video. It would help make it easier to understand.
what did you end up with
The exact missing pieces of information I was looking for. Thank you!
You seem to reference another video that takes resolution into account with all this, but I can't find it in your video list. Could you provide a link?
wow, you speak very well and the structure of your lesson is admirable. Very intelligent. Thank you
Really informative. Thank you

That is such a good content. Thank you!
Great video, love the intro. 👍🏻
I want to thank you for taking the time to make this video I'm 63 and I've been experimenting with different size monitors-tvs I do another of reading and I have chronic dry eyes and in near and far sighted.i finda 32 or bigger screen is the easiest on my eye's but I use prescription glasses with the special yellow tint and they are also blue light coated. My eyes are much much happier. I left this comment because after all the work you just put into this video
omg omg man thank you so much for that deep dive :)
Thank you for your work, very helpful video
Thankyou for a great video.. could you point us to the video on the resolution differences on 32 inch monitors . I am deciding between 4K and 1440 resolutions
Very nice video. Thanks!
Thanks! Great video! I was looking for the resolution fact check video, but haven't found it 26:05
I hope for second part with resolution. Thanks!
Thank you very much. Excellent video and it helped me decide on a 27''.
what resolution you got, should i buy a 1080p 27inch, cuz is on heavy discount?
Hi @Fast Check; what is the best PPI range for a monitor?; I buy a 27" 4k but I need scale to 150%; I need more space to see big Excel files, do you recommend a 32" 4k, or in 32" 4k I need scale again?; I'm over 40 years.
Thanks in advance, other question, 4k monitor scale to 150% its the same that a 2k monitor in resolution? (2560*1.5 = 3840; 1440*1.5 = 2160 )
In your case I would go for 32".
Keep in mind that scaling is dependant on your vision acuity and on the "angle" the screen occupies in your vision, what I refer to as visual pyramid in the video.
That's to say that if you don't change the visual pyramid you probably won't change scaling.
One reason not to widen this conceptual pyramid might be that the further edges of a 32" might otherwise be too much at an angle (you don't look at them straight on) and you'd also need to move your head more for the edges.
Still, if the 27" wasn't in your case too close for comfort, and that you wouldn't mind to expand the visual pyramid a little bit, you might be comfortable with a smaller scaling like 125%.
As for scaling, in most cases and from what I tested so far, it's a multiplication on the font size and UI elements: text that should be 10pt is effectively 15pt with 150% scaling.
So it works mostly as you described.
I say mostly because different programs can deal with scaling differently: some might choose to scale the UI and font size in a certain way that doesn't adhere exactly to that calculation.
Anyway, I'll go more in depth in the next video (hopefully we manage to allocate some days soon to finally complete it) that's dedicated to resolution and scaling.
Great job man, The best technical explanation I found.
I'm between a 4k monitor from 27 to 32.

I would suggest adding some liveliness to the video through editing or humor with out affecting your general approach ❤❤
I'm commenting for the algorithm. You put in a ton of work on this video, u deserve more view! Appreciate the info btw. I was about to upgrade to 32 inch but I'll prob stick to 27. I say probably bc I have the 32 inch already 🤭
Awesome research!
I like his english. As clean and clear as crystal.
What is your opinion on the 43 inch monitors and the 34 inch ultra wide. I have two of both but they both seem to bother me. I want a dual monitor setup. I’m 39 years old, what do you recommend ?
Very well done my bro.. I'm on a tight budget and having a tough time choosing between a 27" 1080p IPS monitor and it's 24" 1080p variant with exact same specs. The 27" incher have gone through a heavy discount and it's now currently on sale for 209$ and the 24" for 170$.
I really appreciate the bigger working space on the 27" but my only concern is the lower ppi density as it's just 1080p on a 27".
I sit about 70-90 cms away from the screen, a bit further away from most. Should I worry about pixelated texts as I do mostly text editing based work and reading? Or is the 27 incher a real steal at the price to grab for? Need your thoughts.
Had u bought it
@@kavinkharunia1 I had a chance to have a quick glance at coding in 27 inch 1080p and I can say that if you sit closely, you will notice some pixelation. Otherwise, sit a little bit further and you barely see the pixelated parts and of course the text is still readable. Don't know how it will affect your eyes for a long duration though.
Same problem
extremely well made video
WOW! you really know your stuff (layman terms) bravo bravo Sir, thank you for this research and the professional way you have produced this video.
a lot or investigation and effort to prepare this well explaining video. and some polite wording for the elderly people is a plus : ) . Thank you
what you prefer reading normal size book with glasses or reading triple size book from one meter with huge letters. the idea of screen is to able to see entire screen from comfortable distance. if you using 32 inch monitor from one meter is way far from normal viewing distance for monitor, if you look at 32 from 70 or 80 cm means you overworking your eyes. cos eyes not only accommodate they also moving around in accommodative state. Just reduce content from monitor and switch to tv with really good size and viewing distance. therefore 27 is the biggest screen possible for monitor, with bigger screen expect eye strain.
I had never thought of the size of a tv interfering with the most natural angle of viewing a screen.
I still think if I had the money I'd go with an lg oled (since it's just so much better than monitor tech at the same price) but that's an interesting point.
Regarding eye strain and brightness on 32 inches (and in general) bias lighting can help a great deal with such things.
I love LG washing machines, old 55' tvs, and most of all the LG V10-V30 phones. I'm an audiophile and can push full on pioneer DJ cans. I have a Beringer Joe Rogan headphone amp that I don't need unless I need to vibrate the headphones off my head.
I bought Dec 21 a 43inch 4k tv to use as a monitor. Would never have guessed a 55 in Sony Bravia from the trash was better than that tv wall mount distance. Just using it for office things, on a gaming tower.
Hurt my eyes very bad. Returned it in a week. No way to get the settings right. Tried for 15 hrs.
And too bad I had a smaller Sony Bravia mounted to wall but I moved it to my bathroom. I use it all the time. Not a gamer but the pc does lag some w 2 monitors one being 4k. You are not going to like an LG 4k monitor until they make improvements.
Very informative video, now I know how to set up my 32 inch monitor to use it I finally buy it! :D
WHY THIS CHANNEL IS UNDERRATED ?! 🤒
This channel should get its 100k soon
Nice video, thanks. Ended up here because now deciding to get or LG 27 or 32GP850. (currently running 24 inches).
So which one did you get and what resolution, you I should buy a 1080p 27inch, cuz is on heavy discount?
@@harinderpalsingh4196 I got 32GP850, and first day it felt like huge, but later got used to it, and I love it. 1440p. I have not that deep table, so had to buy monitor arm, so it sits away from me in "arms reach". Because density of 1080p on 24 was fine for me, 1440p is very close to that.
Can we use 4k 43inch tv instead of 4k 43inch monitor? What will be the difference? Because prices of 4k tv are much cheaper, though frequency is @60hz.
Also I would like to ask 24inch 1080p or 1440p will be better? Same for 27 inch monitor. Please reply 🙏🏼
Dell s3221QS or s2721QS?
Sir I had a doubt in regards to myopia i guess, for long form content or even research I preferred my 6inch smartphone over my computer I thought maybe i prefer touchscreen more but now after seeing this video I guess it’s something related to myopia because my computer screen is 22inch compared to my phone which 6inch and nearer to me
Maybe i shouldn’t consider upgrading my monitor size and that would fix the issue
According to you which screen size should i consider? My desk width is 20inches
Amazing video... but I'm still confused about Nits.. if somebody editing HDR content, don't they need something into the 400-500 nit range?
I wish I had seen this two weeks ago. I spent many hours attempting to unravel reviews of many monitors. I ultimately came to the decision to purchase a 27 inch monitor for intuitive reasons. I’m 65 years old.
As in many things in life there's no absolute best! A 4k 27" with scaling (and with a lesser/no scaling 1440p) is still very nice and comfortable to view from the furthest distance one would put it on a desk!
It really depends on how much effective pixels (smaller scaling) one needs!
quality content is back!
your channel is so underrated
Anything different then 16x9 is very special for everyday use...or maybe good for some gamers.
And size is main consideration. 27 to 32 inch for most home users will be ideal.
I know that 1080p on a 27" is not perfect BUT if you're on a budget and getting a heavy discount for a 27" 1080p IPS for almost the same price as it's 24" variant with the same specs.
Should I go grab it? Is the text pixelation (main worry) manageable if you sit a bit further away 70-90cms?
Sitting further away would just make it practically the same as a 24 inch. So then why not just stick with 24? Either way, 1080p on a 27 is fine. 1440p and above is ideal but you won’t have an issue with 1080 if you’re on a budget. If you’re not, go for 1440.
The same problem. Should I buy a basic 27" 1080p monitor from a well-known brand or a very cheap 24" 1080p monitor from an unknown brand?
I like your language use... you researched well... subscribed. Cheers 😎
Best review ever !!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am using double 43 inch monitor, I work as an architect. I am thinking to get 2 apple 32 inch monitor? What do you think? Should I change?
Loved the video, but you mentioned another video explaining resolution, that i cant seem to find...
At this time we're finishing the script of that video, so it has yet to come out!
0:19 was a dope transition
This video is almost a perfect explanation for me. However, i have one question: Is it better to upgrade to 27" at 4k or 2K? currently I'm using 24" at 1080p.
If by "2k" you mean 1440p, for productivity if budget is not a problem I would definitely go for 4k resolution, worse case scenario if you find the UI and texts too small for your liking you can still use 1.25x or 1.5x scaling on windows or "smallest" (witch on my 21" 2304p (slighly bigger than 4k) corresponds to 1.6x) on mac.
