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. I'm perfect doing all my PC work and gaming on a 32 monitor. I have a PS5 on a big ass oled TV if I want that anyway lol (not that I use it much)
@@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 RUclips 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.
I have the 42" ROG PG42UQ on my desktop and it's great! Took a week or so to get used to, but it's fantastic. Going from 1440p IPS to 4K OLED is glorious. :)
@@strubbleler I've had it since 19th September and no neck issues. Only thing that took some getting used to was the size of the panel, but I have it set way back on my desk and all is well. No eye strain, neck or any other aches. I'm happy with it.
@@RQUKOfficial By pushing it waaaay behind ur desk, ur basically getting the same display size as a smaller display that sits closer. Basic geometry bro.
I have a 43 inch as well. I have a deeper desk (actually a table) so the screen sits a bit farther from me, but not too much farther. No neck injury and I prefer the larger desk. I would never go back to a smaller screen.
@@Voltaire321 A 27 Inch glued to your face, obliterates your Field of Vision. The more you go on size, the more you have to push in further, to have that same effect. There's no reason in having a gynormous display, 16k sitting 10000 metres away from your desk, giving you the exact same effect as a close 27 incher. The only reason to go for a bigger PC monitor is if you plan on using it as a two-function display. If you don't want to get a TV for TV shows/movies, and you want to use ur PC monitor instead, bigger is better, depending the size of the room where it will be used.
I've used a 4k 49" screen with my PC for over 4 years now and in 4k 60 with proper configuration it's super clear and a pleasure to use and view. Playing on anything smaller seems like I'm looking at a postage stamp!
@@ianrobertson3419 ymmv but I've had no issue at a normal size desk with a 48" for nearly a year now. I don't get the neck thing, I just move my eyes no head movement necessary.
Yeah I use a 50" 4k oled HDR TV that I paid 300 for on black friday. I sit right in front of the thing like a monitor. If you were to look for a monitor with the same spec at half the size it's the same price which is ridiculous. A 50" TV is perfect for Sim racing, shooter games, or any other game really, RDR2 looks beautiful in 4k on my TV, forza has true to life size objects and it actually feels like you're sitting in the car because of the immersion and scale. You can't tell me that having a more zoomed in, higher quality picture is worse for gaming. You're just either broke or wrong or both or you've been mislead to believe that you need a monitor instead of a TV. My gaming setup is also my Netflix setup in front of my bed so it has multiple functions instead of just gaming. TV is better+ratio+get rekt
I’ve been using a 48 inch LG C1 OLED for about a year now and it’s been pretty incredible. I wall mounted it and it sits about a foot away from my desk, so this setup definitely isn’t for everyone, but it’s been the best monitor/tv I’ve ever bought by far. High refresh rate, excellent response times, HDMI 2.1, 4k, HDR10, perfect blacks, it is a no compromises display.
I use a 28” 4k display and upscale UI and it is extremely sharp, I adore it. I had always used 24” 1080p monitors and this felt like a massive upgrade.
Same here (28" 4k) I personally find anything bigger, I get a sore neck. Had a 34" Dell but it felt like a shrine surrounding me, and kept wanting to shift the chair 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 bought 32" monitor like half a year ago first i thought that it was too big but now im ready to get bigger. what im saying is you get to used it fast
Completely understand what you're talking about with MOBAs. I picked up an Aorus 48 inch monitor earlier this year and it's hilarious how you have to physically turn your head to look down at the map. I got caught out because of that more than a few times hahha
If your going to go big just make sure your ppi is high. I'm running 4k at 43in and I feel it's really good all around. It's a TLC TV and I got it a few years ago for Hella cheap at $189 at target black Friday sale. Which is why I bought it instead of a 1080p TV as the 4k TV was actually cheaper lol. 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!
Awesome, honest unbiased reviews of products Dawid, put you way above most youtubers. You would find something bad on a diamond and that is exactly what we need. We don't need to hear all superlatives and what not, but real pluses and minuses of each product you get your paws at. Good job.
I upgraded from a 23" 1080p to a 27" 1440p display last year and I'm certain that if I go 4K, I'd top out at 30" or 32" at most. Else I'd just be looking around constantly.
Went with a 32 inch monitor and I feel it's about the perfect size for my uses. However, I'm quite jelly of my friends Samsung G9 Monitor. I recommend trying one if you can. :)
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. :)
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.
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.
I use 48 inch c1 almost a year now and i cant agree on hurting neck thing at all. There is no drawbacks to size. I would even consider 55 inch display.
Right now I'm using a dual monitor setup consisting of 32"(1440p) and a 24"(1080p), both of which are 92ppi and so in the same way and at the right distance anyone can use a 48"(2160p). Given that you can use other 1:1 resolutions, the difference is that compared to any other monitor here you can choose what format to play with, you will have a frame but it will be almost perfect black. If you have to watch a movie you can do it to the best of the available technology on a decent quantity inch, if you have to work you can do it on a huge work area and if you need a good gamut you have it. The only real limitation is having to keep to a brightness of 100-150 cd/m2 for safety, which is enough for working in a normal office and especially for gaming in a "cave." EIZO says: in an office with normal brightness of 300-500 lux, the display brightness should be adjusted to around 100-150 cd / m2. There is no such thing as a monitor that is too large, but there are noobs who play or work at the wrong distance...
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...
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.
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 tried getting a higher refresh rate monitor that was 27", couldn't stand it compared to my 60Hz 55". Granted that was mostly an issue of resolution, as the 55" was 4k and the 27" was 1440p. But I returned the monitor within 2 days of picking it up because I hated it compared to my bigger TV and I haven't really looked back at smaller monitors since then. But even sitting 3-4 feet away from it I don't have to move my neck at all to see the whole display easily.
I use a 65inch Panasonic Plasma as my main monitor on my desk plus 3 other 27inch LCD panels. But as the Panasonic plasma being my main display, I can answer you with a resounding no David, its not to big. You may need to change your desk and the layout to better accommodate the bigger display. i sit a little more than an arm's length away from it 4 years now....
I was gifted (or rather, handed down) a 32" 4K display and it's just big enough to be impressive and crisp, but the right size to be practical sitting 3 feet away from it. I still have my old monitor (a 19" Asus 1080p display with a USB hub I won't give up) off to the side, in portrait for reading.
27 really is the optimal size for a desktop monitor, especially for esports where you need to be able to reliably track information displayed on the edges of the screen. These 48 inch OLED monitors would be great for a couch gaming PC, but not for a desk.
For the past two years I've been gaming on a 65" OLED C9 in combination with a 2.2 Stereo setup (sometimes 3.2, depending on the source) that would get most audiophiles drooling, and I just love everything about it. This TV simply accepts every signal (Pi4, PS5, GameCube, Wii U, Switch, and PC) I throw at it, and rewards me with a sharp and responsive image. Setting up every single type of signal, sometimes even for multiple channels, can be pretty time consuming, depending on how pedantic you are, but it is definitely worth it. The TV provides all the settings required for achieving a near perfect color accuracy, while being super accurate out of the box already. Really nice stereo speakers or a really good headset are also worth every cent, since the best picture quality isn't worth more than a cold turd in my opinion, if every sound surrounding it just makes you flinge 'n cringe. However, I sit exactly 3 m away from my TV when gaming. At a desk, the perfect size for a monitor is any size that matches your peripheral viewing angle the best, in my opinion. Too much head movement with a too big screen sucks at least as much as losing immersion and not clearing seeing things on a screen that's too small.
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.
I have a 27'' screen and sit about 20'' back from it - it's pretty damn perfect for me. You are right, Dawid, sit back about 4 feet, it would feel pretty good.
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
If you play stuff like Cyberpunk or other single player type games with a wireless controller and can scoot your chair back, it's legendary. If you're hunched over a keyboard and mouse it can be a bit rough after a few hours.
I fanally got a PC this year, with a dual 24" monitor setup. I've always had laptops, my biggest was 18". This 24" is way too big, when I'm gaming I adjust the size to around 15" of actual picture.
From 2015 to 2019 I was using mostly two 40 inch screens as computer monitors. One was a proper 4K monitor, the other was a 1080p TV used as a monitor. They were awesome in everything other than I couldn't really run the 4K monitor for games with the GPU I had and the 1080p was at times too low for 40 inches. The other negative thing was the size of them, they would "block the sun" and that believe it or not, depressed me a bit more than usual. Which is why a couple of years ago I switched to 27 inch 1440p monitor. Having said that I am from time to time considering unboxing again the 4K 40inch monitor even though I still have the same system as 2015, other than the GPU where now I have a 1660Super. Main reason I am thinking of doing that is I will be able to play/stream in a window and still have it large enough to not feel like a smaller window. If that makes any sense. Plus, playing cockpit view racing or flying games in 40 inches is something just awesome. Having said that, I don't know if I could tolerate a 48 inch monitor. Perhaps that is too big even for me. Though to clarify something, I did get used to the 40 inch screens in a couple of months and size (for comfort levels) stopped being a major issue after a while. Funny thing was when I actually started using the 27 inch it felt like a toy compared to the two 40 inch ones.
I use a 50" neo qled samsung. Wall mounted on a retractable mount. I will switch to 21:9 and pull it forward a bit for some games. The only thing I'd add is a curve if i could.
I got a 32" Neo G8. It's big. Even too big sometimes when viewing movies etc. It comes down to positioning it far enough away. So that's the question, are you ok with a large TV but move it far away from you? Im happy with Mini LED vs OLED, I don't have to worry about burn in or the auto dimming features. Plus 4k on 32" means the pixel per inch is very tight.
Kind of funny, in Destiny 2 (only multiplayer shooter I still play) it's normal to run 105 for FoV, I didn't know the default for Battlefield was so narrow
I use a 50 inch samsung tv that only has a few MS of latency when you're connected to a PC in game mode, and I love having such a big TV, though I have the TV on a rolling entertainment center and move it from my desk to my bed, so it's pretty far away. you can't really notice the pixels from more than arms length away. I didn't get the TV for doing this, it was a handmedown from my mom because she upgraded to a 65" TV.
Considering your head and the two corners of the monitor already make close to a straight angle triangle from where you're sitting while playing FPS games, there's pretty much no reason not to play at 90 degree FOV. If you want to be extra fancy, you can even measure what the FOV should "realistically" be from where you're sitting.
I have my computer setup in a L shaped desk. In front of my keyboard is a 27 inch monitor and to the side a 55 inch OLED that's connected to the Pc and to my consoles as well. It's requires quite the space to pull off but you get the best of both worlds. It does complicate the audio setup though, I just use the TV speakers when gaming on it, not ideal but I can't really fit anything else on the sides of the TV
It depends on what youre playing. FPS? No. 20-30 in will be the sweet spot so that everything is immediately in your field of view and so you can react to it. Things on the periphery you'll notice you're slower to respond to. RTS? Yes. You don't need milisecond accurate responses so peripheral reaction time decrease wont matter. Sitting back on the couch away from it? As big as you can go and keep it in your central FoV is fine.
I will counter this. been rocking a 48" viewsomic for a year now and i love it. For multitaskers, its a game changer. If you want to do one thing at a time, not so much.
i use a 49 inch 4k samsung tv as a monitor , thing is you got to have some distance between you and the monitor. i sit about 3 ft and 1/2 from mine and don't have to move my head at all
As someone who loves gaming on their 27" but wishes i had something easier on the eyes, this is definitely NOT what I would buy, because i don't have room on my desk for this, a 2nd monitor, and both speakers, with the 48" placed central to where the speakers basically have to go (sideways, underneath the monitors). My audio monitors are only 6" and have a narrower front baffle than yours as well by a significant margin, I would not recommend this kind of setup for someone who isn't willing to make some postural compromises to have the best
i just bought this monitor on sale for £799 and I love it. I actually think it is perfect in size, I would not have mind having a 55inch version. I use an IKEA dinner table as a gaming desk and it offers the perfect distance when gaming. Coming from a 43inch ultrawide monitor i love the fact that you can create your own custom resolutions like 3840x1440 or x1600 etc not to mention the blacks and color reproduction and HDR capabilities.
I am almost certain that the best use case for this monitor is for a console setup. With the low pixel density, it would be totally useless for anything but FPS and driving/flying gameplay. Personally, I have an UG 32" 1440p monitor, and while it's a great display for gaming, it's probably bigger than I'd need at my desk (a multi-use space for work and gaming) for daily use. These bigger monitors are probably better suited for compact living room or bedroom setups where the viewing distance is a bit farther than what one would have at a desk, and where gaming and content consumption make up the lion's share of the display's usage. At a desk, 32" class monitors are probably going to be peak sizing for _most_ people, in my humble opinion. Anything beyond that is likely overkill unless it's to meet a highly specific need or demand of the person using it.
I replaced my AOC 24.5" display with a curved 32" Samsung G5 yesterday, and even this size is borderline too big for pleasant gaming at around 50 cm distance. My dream is a 42" OLED, and if that happens someday, I will wall mount it and distance my gaming desk appropriately.
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.
It just sucks that you cannot perform height adjustment. I know it might get top heavy but your neck hurts because you look inside the the monitor from the top. I used to have a 42 inch monitor/tv but switched back to my 32 inch, which is much more in line with what I need on my desk. I have moved the TV to my dedicated gaming setup.
This very much feels like LG just throwing their OLED TV screen in a different marketing package and then trying to convince people that this is totally a reasonable monitor size. Develop some new
i upgraded from a 27 LG 21:9 FHD to a 35" Samsung Odyssey G5 21:9 WQHD . refresh rate update and curvature is also a thing tho im mostly excited for the wideness
I prefer 32~34 inches for 4K. This is certainly entering the "too big" range for me, at my usual arms-length sitting distance. But the color and response time of OLED is wonderful. My dream monitor would be 4K 75~144hz 32~34inch OLED with freesync (and optionally, >=HDR600). If that existed, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
@@Techrodd Is it not out yet? The closest I could find with a quick search is the XG32VC which is a VA panel, and the PG42UQ which is too large at 42"; Not really suitable for my desk, I'd have to give up my other monitors, and it would need a curve at that close of a distance. I could be convinced to sacrifice (some of) my monitors for a curved ultra-wide like the new Samsung OLED G9, tho its 1440p (acceptable) and has some bullshit "smart hub" which is a deal breaker for me. So, I'm still out of luck...
a key to 48in dota/ league play WINDOW mode gaming play in window mode and move that sucker around to a comfortable spot. I been playing the heck out of the new cod and it looks great on my LG C1. I can never go back to a none oled screen
I have a 42 inch Asus monitor and they really are best used as a tv replacement. I do all of my entertainment through my PC so using the monitor for game consoles and all multimedia through the PC itself is a great way to save space and not having to deal with multiple displays. The only issue is the absolute garbage fire of software you have to deal with for stuff like DVD playback.
Can definitely be too big in some circumstances. Im using a 70 inch 4k display as my main display (and a 55 inch for secondary display) and its too big for gaming up close. I ended up creating a custom screenmode of 3456x1944 with integer "scaling" (ie. it doesn't scale, it just crops part of the screen) so it has black borders removing the top %5, bottom %5, left %5 and right %5. It's muuuuch more comfortable to use with only %81 of the 70 inches. For productivity (and ide, video editing, 3d rendering, etc.) I like having a lot of screen real estate (why I went for the 70 inch + 55 inch displays). My setup is for very specific for atypical usage and I definitely wouldn't recommend it for %99 of people, but it works well for me.
I upgraded from 16 (laptop) to a 27 for desktop and initially wished I chose 24. I'm more used to it now but for anything larger I'd need to sit quite far back
I was going to say just use your eyes to look around the monitor, but I guess glasses really restrict you to facing things front on to see optimally. I've used a 42" TV as a monitor sitting on my large desk and then upgraded to a 34" ultrawide and have had no neck issues in the 6 years I've used both. The rest of my body is full of issues, including scoliosis, but my neck has never been an issue because I just look instead of turning my head all the way.
What holds them back making Gaming monitors with OLED panels in 27 to 32“ ? They can make small smartphone screens and massive TV screens, is it just that they don’t see the „benefit“ or will it be too expensive ? (Looking at the monitors out right now)
after my 24" 1440p first gaming screen broke after 2 years being overclocked from 60hz to 75hz i gamed for 4 years on a LG 49inch 4k TV until i needed the tv because i moved out of my parents house and needed a tv for the living room. now 1440p 34" wide screen 144hz screen (i7 6700k gtx1070)
i play on a 55 LG c1 OLED monitor and i got to say no. If you have enough distance any sizes is possible. Take me like 1 - 2 days to get use to it and now i think i play FPS better tbh.
I game on a 55" which is great for playing games with a controller or driving simulators. Any games that I play with mouse and keyboard I have to lower my resolution and turn off scaling to bring the screen down to a more reasonable size. Eventually I'll buy a smaller monitor, but it works for now.
Yes, a monitor can be too big. But, in this case, the 48" is not. I have a 49" curved Samsung which is not only the best monitor I've ever had, but also the best TV. The thing that everyone seems to get wrong about having a huge monitor is that you shouldn't use it in the same way you'd use a smaller monitor. You shouldn't be trying to run five different video sources simultaneously and you shouldn't be using it like a 1990s 21" massive CRT where you have a dozen different pages open all over the screen. You should pick one thing and just focus on it - let the screen fill your field of view and just let your brain respond to the input in the same way it would if you were looking out a big window. I will say, the flatness of the screen will be a problem and I recommend the curved version because it just much more naturally fills your field of view than a flat screen will.
Hey Dawid, had a question unrelated to this video. You always dunk on McAfee and Norton but I've never heard a suggestion on the right way to protect your PC from online or offline software/network threats. Can you please share what people ought to be installing/doing.

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.
48 " At the back of your desk? You must have a desk like Putin
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. I'm perfect doing all my PC work and gaming on a 32 monitor. I have a PS5 on a big ass oled TV if I want that anyway lol (not that I use it much)
@@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 RUclips 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.
I just got a 34 yesterday its massive. 48 would be uncomfortable imo.
I have the 42" ROG PG42UQ on my desktop and it's great! Took a week or so to get used to, but it's fantastic. Going from 1440p IPS to 4K OLED is glorious. :)
i'd love to hear a neck-review after 4 weeks of use, please!
@@strubbleler I've had it since 19th September and no neck issues. Only thing that took some getting used to was the size of the panel, but I have it set way back on my desk and all is well. No eye strain, neck or any other aches. I'm happy with it.
@@RQUKOfficial By pushing it waaaay behind ur desk, ur basically getting the same display size as a smaller display that sits closer. Basic geometry bro.
I have a 43 inch as well. I have a deeper desk (actually a table) so the screen sits a bit farther from me, but not too much farther. No neck injury and I prefer the larger desk. I would never go back to a smaller screen.
@@Voltaire321 A 27 Inch glued to your face, obliterates your Field of Vision. The more you go on size, the more you have to push in further, to have that same effect. There's no reason in having a gynormous display, 16k sitting 10000 metres away from your desk, giving you the exact same effect as a close 27 incher.
The only reason to go for a bigger PC monitor is if you plan on using it as a two-function display. If you don't want to get a TV for TV shows/movies, and you want to use ur PC monitor instead, bigger is better, depending the size of the room where it will be used.
I've used a 4k 49" screen with my PC for over 4 years now and in 4k 60 with proper configuration it's super clear and a pleasure to use and view. Playing on anything smaller seems like I'm looking at a postage stamp!
he dont get it. Some never do. Bigger screen is always better.
@@PsyloOfficial lol, for a tv maybe but at a desk you'd have a hard time getting the whole picture.
@@ianrobertson3419 ymmv but I've had no issue at a normal size desk with a 48" for nearly a year now. I don't get the neck thing, I just move my eyes no head movement necessary.
@@PsyloOfficial you are so wrong
Yeah I use a 50" 4k oled HDR TV that I paid 300 for on black friday. I sit right in front of the thing like a monitor. If you were to look for a monitor with the same spec at half the size it's the same price which is ridiculous. A 50" TV is perfect for Sim racing, shooter games, or any other game really, RDR2 looks beautiful in 4k on my TV, forza has true to life size objects and it actually feels like you're sitting in the car because of the immersion and scale. You can't tell me that having a more zoomed in, higher quality picture is worse for gaming. You're just either broke or wrong or both or you've been mislead to believe that you need a monitor instead of a TV. My gaming setup is also my Netflix setup in front of my bed so it has multiple functions instead of just gaming. TV is better+ratio+get rekt
I’ve been using a 48 inch LG C1 OLED for about a year now and it’s been pretty incredible. I wall mounted it and it sits about a foot away from my desk, so this setup definitely isn’t for everyone, but it’s been the best monitor/tv I’ve ever bought by far. High refresh rate, excellent response times, HDMI 2.1, 4k, HDR10, perfect blacks, it is a no compromises display.
just got a c2 48 and did the same. its amazing
I use a 28” 4k display and upscale UI and it is extremely sharp, I adore it. I had always used 24” 1080p monitors and this felt like a massive upgrade.
What is upscale UI?
Same here (28" 4k) I personally find anything bigger, I get a sore neck. Had a 34" Dell but it felt like a shrine surrounding me, and kept wanting to shift the chair back.
Not op, but I think he means windows scaling. On a 28 inch 4K screen you can get away with 150% scaling
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 just got a 32” monitor and I thought it was already too big. I couldn’t even dare to use 40” let alone 48”.
Would you recommend 32 or revert back to say a 27 inch?
I use a 32 daily since 1 year and I was considering buying a 50 inch TV in order to have a bigger screen
i bought 32" monitor like half a year ago first i thought that it was too big but now im ready to get bigger. what im saying is you get to used it fast
@@tex69420 the only thing i would consider to play in tv is fifa
On my desk, 32* 1440p looks just perfect in my viewing distance.
Completely understand what you're talking about with MOBAs. I picked up an Aorus 48 inch monitor earlier this year and it's hilarious how you have to physically turn your head to look down at the map. I got caught out because of that more than a few times hahha
If your going to go big just make sure your ppi is high. I'm running 4k at 43in and I feel it's really good all around. It's a TLC TV and I got it a few years ago for Hella cheap at $189 at target black Friday sale. Which is why I bought it instead of a 1080p TV as the 4k TV was actually cheaper lol. 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 been asking a lot of channels to review it including you and I am glad you did
Awesome, honest unbiased reviews of products Dawid, put you way above most youtubers. You would find something bad on a diamond and that is exactly what we need. We don't need to hear all superlatives and what not, but real pluses and minuses of each product you get your paws at. Good job.
I upgraded from a 23" 1080p to a 27" 1440p display last year and I'm certain that if I go 4K, I'd top out at 30" or 32" at most. Else I'd just be looking around constantly.
Yes 32 is perfect> i own one any bigger is too big.
Went with a 32 inch monitor and I feel it's about the perfect size for my uses. However, I'm quite jelly of my friends Samsung G9 Monitor. I recommend trying one if you can. :)
That is seemingly a good size for 1440p.
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. :)
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.
Then you might as well get a smaller display…
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.
I wish I had "company sending their product to Dawid for review" level of confidence.
You play on 55fov normally? That doesn't even cut it on a 27" display, wtf?
I use 48 inch c1 almost a year now and i cant agree on hurting neck thing at all. There is no drawbacks to size. I would even consider 55 inch display.
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.
Right now I'm using a dual monitor setup consisting of 32"(1440p) and a 24"(1080p), both of which are 92ppi and so in the same way and at the right distance anyone can use a 48"(2160p).
Given that you can use other 1:1 resolutions, the difference is that compared to any other monitor here you can choose what format to play with, you will have a frame but it will be almost perfect black.
If you have to watch a movie you can do it to the best of the available technology on a decent quantity inch, if you have to work you can do it on a huge work area and if you need a good gamut you have it.
The only real limitation is having to keep to a brightness of 100-150 cd/m2 for safety, which is enough for working in a normal office and especially for gaming in a "cave."
EIZO says: in an office with normal brightness of 300-500 lux, the display brightness should be adjusted to around 100-150 cd / m2.
There is no such thing as a monitor that is too large, but there are noobs who play or work at the wrong distance...
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 the same 42" 1080p Insignia as a monitor for 7 years now. Love it
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.
Bigger isn't always better ;)
Thats what she said
2 inch destroyer!!!
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 tried playing with a 60" tv. Trust me dawid if you love your neck and eyes you shouldn't go bigger than 27" 😂
I tried getting a higher refresh rate monitor that was 27", couldn't stand it compared to my 60Hz 55". Granted that was mostly an issue of resolution, as the 55" was 4k and the 27" was 1440p. But I returned the monitor within 2 days of picking it up because I hated it compared to my bigger TV and I haven't really looked back at smaller monitors since then. But even sitting 3-4 feet away from it I don't have to move my neck at all to see the whole display easily.
@@Galiant2010 i don't recommend using a tv as a gaming monitor though as tvs tend to be an a hole and overstretch things
@@Galiant2010 i use a curved 24" 165Hz monitor as my main monitor and it works fine for me
@@Galiant2010 you can set it to 60Hz if you want your monitor to stay at 60Hz
Thanks dawid, I was considering buying a 48 LG C4 as a monitor but finally bought the 27" lg oled instead.
I use a 65inch Panasonic Plasma as my main monitor on my desk plus 3 other 27inch LCD panels. But as the Panasonic plasma being my main display, I can answer you with a resounding no David, its not to big. You may need to change your desk and the layout to better accommodate the bigger display. i sit a little more than an arm's length away from it 4 years now....
Once you play Red Dead Redemption 2 on an LG 55" B7 OLED @4k ultra, you don't go back to 27" monitors for anything!
I was gifted (or rather, handed down) a 32" 4K display and it's just big enough to be impressive and crisp, but the right size to be practical sitting 3 feet away from it.
I still have my old monitor (a 19" Asus 1080p display with a USB hub I won't give up) off to the side, in portrait for reading.
27 really is the optimal size for a desktop monitor, especially for esports where you need to be able to reliably track information displayed on the edges of the screen. These 48 inch OLED monitors would be great for a couch gaming PC, but not for a desk.
I loved all the extras sensory and the water that felt like a residue was my fav
For the past two years I've been gaming on a 65" OLED C9 in combination with a 2.2 Stereo setup (sometimes 3.2, depending on the source) that would get most audiophiles drooling, and I just love everything about it.
This TV simply accepts every signal (Pi4, PS5, GameCube, Wii U, Switch, and PC) I throw at it, and rewards me with a sharp and responsive image. Setting up every single type of signal, sometimes even for multiple channels, can be pretty time consuming, depending on how pedantic you are, but it is definitely worth it. The TV provides all the settings required for achieving a near perfect color accuracy, while being super accurate out of the box already.
Really nice stereo speakers or a really good headset are also worth every cent, since the best picture quality isn't worth more than a cold turd in my opinion, if every sound surrounding it just makes you flinge 'n cringe.
However, I sit exactly 3 m away from my TV when gaming. At a desk, the perfect size for a monitor is any size that matches your peripheral viewing angle the best, in my opinion. Too much head movement with a too big screen sucks at least as much as losing immersion and not clearing seeing things on a screen that's too small.
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.
i'll be making my switch to this monitor very soon. I'm excited
I have a 27'' screen and sit about 20'' back from it - it's pretty damn perfect for me. You are right, Dawid, sit back about 4 feet, it would feel pretty good.
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
If you play stuff like Cyberpunk or other single player type games with a wireless controller and can scoot your chair back, it's legendary. If you're hunched over a keyboard and mouse it can be a bit rough after a few hours.
I fanally got a PC this year, with a dual 24" monitor setup.
I've always had laptops, my biggest was 18".
This 24" is way too big, when I'm gaming I adjust the size to around 15" of actual picture.
From 2015 to 2019 I was using mostly two 40 inch screens as computer monitors. One was a proper 4K monitor, the other was a 1080p TV used as a monitor. They were awesome in everything other than I couldn't really run the 4K monitor for games with the GPU I had and the 1080p was at times too low for 40 inches.
The other negative thing was the size of them, they would "block the sun" and that believe it or not, depressed me a bit more than usual.
Which is why a couple of years ago I switched to 27 inch 1440p monitor.
Having said that I am from time to time considering unboxing again the 4K 40inch monitor even though I still have the same system as 2015, other than the GPU where now I have a 1660Super.
Main reason I am thinking of doing that is I will be able to play/stream in a window and still have it large enough to not feel like a smaller window. If that makes any sense.
Plus, playing cockpit view racing or flying games in 40 inches is something just awesome.
Having said that, I don't know if I could tolerate a 48 inch monitor. Perhaps that is too big even for me.
Though to clarify something, I did get used to the 40 inch screens in a couple of months and size (for comfort levels) stopped being a major issue after a while.
Funny thing was when I actually started using the 27 inch it felt like a toy compared to the two 40 inch ones.
I use a 50" neo qled samsung. Wall mounted on a retractable mount. I will switch to 21:9 and pull it forward a bit for some games. The only thing I'd add is a curve if i could.
I haven't had any neck issues with my 48"
I got a 32" Neo G8. It's big. Even too big sometimes when viewing movies etc.
It comes down to positioning it far enough away. So that's the question, are you ok with a large TV but move it far away from you?
Im happy with Mini LED vs OLED, I don't have to worry about burn in or the auto dimming features. Plus 4k on 32" means the pixel per inch is very tight.
Kind of funny, in Destiny 2 (only multiplayer shooter I still play) it's normal to run 105 for FoV, I didn't know the default for Battlefield was so narrow
"It's so jarring when you get shot" -Dawid
I use a 50 inch samsung tv that only has a few MS of latency when you're connected to a PC in game mode, and I love having such a big TV, though I have the TV on a rolling entertainment center and move it from my desk to my bed, so it's pretty far away. you can't really notice the pixels from more than arms length away.
I didn't get the TV for doing this, it was a handmedown from my mom because she upgraded to a 65" TV.
Considering your head and the two corners of the monitor already make close to a straight angle triangle from where you're sitting while playing FPS games, there's pretty much no reason not to play at 90 degree FOV. If you want to be extra fancy, you can even measure what the FOV should "realistically" be from where you're sitting.
Been using an LG 48" OLED as my gaming monitor for 2 years now. Don't think I can ever go back.
I've been using the Gigabyte 48" OLED for a year and I love it!
I Have a 34" ultrawide, sitting on my computer desk too much screen. But your milage may vary depending on how far away from screen you sit
It all comes down to angles. A bigger screen would either need to be further away or run a bigger fov. As for ppi, again, angles.
I have my computer setup in a L shaped desk. In front of my keyboard is a 27 inch monitor and to the side a 55 inch OLED that's connected to the Pc and to my consoles as well. It's requires quite the space to pull off but you get the best of both worlds. It does complicate the audio setup though, I just use the TV speakers when gaming on it, not ideal but I can't really fit anything else on the sides of the TV
It depends on what youre playing.
FPS? No. 20-30 in will be the sweet spot so that everything is immediately in your field of view and so you can react to it. Things on the periphery you'll notice you're slower to respond to.
RTS? Yes. You don't need milisecond accurate responses so peripheral reaction time decrease wont matter.
Sitting back on the couch away from it? As big as you can go and keep it in your central FoV is fine.
Thanks for your review. I bought this monitor and waiting patiently to receive it :)
I will counter this. been rocking a 48" viewsomic for a year now and i love it. For multitaskers, its a game changer. If you want to do one thing at a time, not so much.
The VESA mount is for third-party monitor stands.
i use a 49 inch 4k samsung tv as a monitor , thing is you got to have some distance between you and the monitor. i sit about 3 ft and 1/2 from mine and don't have to move my head at all
Do you know that in most games you can set the limit in which the hud is displayed? So you can have the hud displayed near the center of the screen
As someone who loves gaming on their 27" but wishes i had something easier on the eyes, this is definitely NOT what I would buy, because i don't have room on my desk for this, a 2nd monitor, and both speakers, with the 48" placed central to where the speakers basically have to go (sideways, underneath the monitors). My audio monitors are only 6" and have a narrower front baffle than yours as well by a significant margin, I would not recommend this kind of setup for someone who isn't willing to make some postural compromises to have the best
i just bought this monitor on sale for £799 and I love it. I actually think it is perfect in size, I would not have mind having a 55inch version. I use an IKEA dinner table as a gaming desk and it offers the perfect distance when gaming. Coming from a 43inch ultrawide monitor i love the fact that you can create your own custom resolutions like 3840x1440 or x1600 etc not to mention the blacks and color reproduction and HDR capabilities.
I am almost certain that the best use case for this monitor is for a console setup. With the low pixel density, it would be totally useless for anything but FPS and driving/flying gameplay. Personally, I have an UG 32" 1440p monitor, and while it's a great display for gaming, it's probably bigger than I'd need at my desk (a multi-use space for work and gaming) for daily use. These bigger monitors are probably better suited for compact living room or bedroom setups where the viewing distance is a bit farther than what one would have at a desk, and where gaming and content consumption make up the lion's share of the display's usage.
At a desk, 32" class monitors are probably going to be peak sizing for _most_ people, in my humble opinion. Anything beyond that is likely overkill unless it's to meet a highly specific need or demand of the person using it.
I have an Alienware AW3821DW which is 38" 3840x1600 144 Hz Ultrawide and it's fantastic both for work and gaming. I would LOVE an OLED version though.
I replaced my AOC 24.5" display with a curved 32" Samsung G5 yesterday, and even this size is borderline too big for pleasant gaming at around 50 cm distance. My dream is a 42" OLED, and if that happens someday, I will wall mount it and distance my gaming desk appropriately.
Dude, the neck howling from dota had me rofl. 😂
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.
It just sucks that you cannot perform height adjustment. I know it might get top heavy but your neck hurts because you look inside the the monitor from the top. I used to have a 42 inch monitor/tv but switched back to my 32 inch, which is much more in line with what I need on my desk. I have moved the TV to my dedicated gaming setup.
I use a 40" 4k tv for my main monitor, but it's mounted on the wall behind the desk which allows my poor old farsighted eyes to work without readers.
This very much feels like LG just throwing their OLED TV screen in a different marketing package and then trying to convince people that this is totally a reasonable monitor size.
Develop some new
i upgraded from a 27 LG 21:9 FHD to a 35" Samsung Odyssey G5 21:9 WQHD . refresh rate update and curvature is also a thing tho im mostly excited for the wideness
Girth, not wideness. 😉
I prefer 32~34 inches for 4K. This is certainly entering the "too big" range for me, at my usual arms-length sitting distance. But the color and response time of OLED is wonderful.
My dream monitor would be 4K 75~144hz 32~34inch OLED with freesync (and optionally, >=HDR600). If that existed, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Asus announced a monitor with those specs at Computex this year.
@@Techrodd Is it not out yet? The closest I could find with a quick search is the XG32VC which is a VA panel, and the PG42UQ which is too large at 42"; Not really suitable for my desk, I'd have to give up my other monitors, and it would need a curve at that close of a distance. I could be convinced to sacrifice (some of) my monitors for a curved ultra-wide like the new Samsung OLED G9, tho its 1440p (acceptable) and has some bullshit "smart hub" which is a deal breaker for me. So, I'm still out of luck...
a key to 48in dota/ league play WINDOW mode gaming
play in window mode and move that sucker around to a comfortable spot. I been playing the heck out of the new cod and it looks great on my LG C1. I can never go back to a none oled screen
Yeah, I once put my 49” TV as a monitor - yeah, it should be on the “sofa-distance” lol
I have a 42 inch Asus monitor and they really are best used as a tv replacement. I do all of my entertainment through my PC so using the monitor for game consoles and all multimedia through the PC itself is a great way to save space and not having to deal with multiple displays. The only issue is the absolute garbage fire of software you have to deal with for stuff like DVD playback.
Can definitely be too big in some circumstances.
Im using a 70 inch 4k display as my main display (and a 55 inch for secondary display) and its too big for gaming up close. I ended up creating a custom screenmode of 3456x1944 with integer "scaling" (ie. it doesn't scale, it just crops part of the screen) so it has black borders removing the top %5, bottom %5, left %5 and right %5. It's muuuuch more comfortable to use with only %81 of the 70 inches.
For productivity (and ide, video editing, 3d rendering, etc.) I like having a lot of screen real estate (why I went for the 70 inch + 55 inch displays).
My setup is for very specific for atypical usage and I definitely wouldn't recommend it for %99 of people, but it works well for me.
I read somewhere once that the rule is you should sit a minimum of 1.5 X the width of the screen away from the screen for best viewing.
I love my 27" 1440p atm, though I would like a higher RR one at 27" or maybe 32". That'd be my limit lol.
same, but i think alienware oled 34 inch would be the best option there for me.. but pricetag bit too high :D
It depends mostly how far you are sitting from your monitor for the screen size.
Distance to the monitor is the key.
that plug looks similar to what we use in europe
When you use large screens and high Windows Resolutions, you need to re-calibrate ClearType. Any geek knows that. :)

I play everyday on my C1 48" and it's awesome! You need a 32in desk tho !
I have this monitor, and i love it. 4k 120 hz hdr is so freaking awesome
I upgraded from 16 (laptop) to a 27 for desktop and initially wished I chose 24. I'm more used to it now but for anything larger I'd need to sit quite far back
I was going to say just use your eyes to look around the monitor, but I guess glasses really restrict you to facing things front on to see optimally.
I've used a 42" TV as a monitor sitting on my large desk and then upgraded to a 34" ultrawide and have had no neck issues in the 6 years I've used both. The rest of my body is full of issues, including scoliosis, but my neck has never been an issue because I just look instead of turning my head all the way.
What holds them back making Gaming monitors with OLED panels in 27 to 32“ ? They can make small smartphone screens and massive TV screens, is it just that they don’t see the „benefit“ or will it be too expensive ? (Looking at the monitors out right now)

Yah the general me G, gwan do yuh thing
I game on a 32" monitor and my primary use is playing racing sims. I agree it works well for that!
Tcl 55" 4k hdr10 google display is the best huge gaming monitor.
I love it so much i bought 3. It truely is the best.

I have been using a 40" tv as my main monitor since 2013, so i feel for you.
after my 24" 1440p first gaming screen broke after 2 years being overclocked from 60hz to 75hz i gamed for 4 years on a LG 49inch 4k TV until i needed the tv because i moved out of my parents house and needed a tv for the living room. now 1440p 34" wide screen 144hz screen (i7 6700k gtx1070)
i play on a 55 LG c1 OLED monitor and i got to say no. If you have enough distance any sizes is possible. Take me like 1 - 2 days to get use to it and now i think i play FPS better tbh.
I've been using a 48" OLED TV on my desk for almost a year, and it's amazing. But I haven't had any issue with my neck or anything.

I want to see what you think of a curved display like the Samsung Odyssey g7. The most curved monitor on the market.
This is basically the LG CX with a thinner stand and different io. I'm not opposed mind you
I game on a 55" which is great for playing games with a controller or driving simulators. Any games that I play with mouse and keyboard I have to lower my resolution and turn off scaling to bring the screen down to a more reasonable size. Eventually I'll buy a smaller monitor, but it works for now.
Yes, a monitor can be too big. But, in this case, the 48" is not. I have a 49" curved Samsung which is not only the best monitor I've ever had, but also the best TV. The thing that everyone seems to get wrong about having a huge monitor is that you shouldn't use it in the same way you'd use a smaller monitor. You shouldn't be trying to run five different video sources simultaneously and you shouldn't be using it like a 1990s 21" massive CRT where you have a dozen different pages open all over the screen. You should pick one thing and just focus on it - let the screen fill your field of view and just let your brain respond to the input in the same way it would if you were looking out a big window. I will say, the flatness of the screen will be a problem and I recommend the curved version because it just much more naturally fills your field of view than a flat screen will.
Hey Dawid, had a question unrelated to this video. You always dunk on McAfee and Norton but I've never heard a suggestion on the right way to protect your PC from online or offline software/network threats. Can you please share what people ought to be installing/doing.
the 3x 27 inch or wide monitors are best as your perifrial vison can still see it
