I thought LYN forumers are mostly gen-x... by now should have Presbyopia by now.

Im actually liking 1080P on 32inch and I had to scale 175% on my brand new 27" on 1440P.

What brand you got for your 27" ?

Mainly gaming 27 1440p.
32 make you tired and 4060ti cannot take 4k.
For FSP you need latency speed. 32 on 4060ti does not cut it.
Special tips for you.Use Maxis fiber. If you use unfi for gaming you will not understand how powerful is high end pc.

What about 4070? it's still best for 2K right ?

Just bought a Philips for RM479. It is a VA panel though which may suck for gaming (even though it is rated at 100Hz, but the black smearing could be a problem) but Im using it for work only.

no its not too big, I'm on 42" Panasonic LED TV, 1080p. it's so relaxing no need eye focus on something tiny.

i have got a custom 3feet depth table, with a chair probably about 4feet + away?

If you are using a TV, then should use 4k TV then set scaling to 300%. Really sharp on my 65inch.

yeah, i planned to when it's about to spoiled, probably a 50" 4k TV that's above 60hz.

It's still working fine now, no reason to switch yet tongue.gif

actually, for most ppl 4k is an upgrade, for me its weighing differently.

Con's
- Netflix plan needed an upgrade
- PC gaming will require a better GPU (Else it looks worse 1080p on 4k?)
- More bandwidth needed for video streaming (YouTube)
- Tiny text work documents or internet browsing (not sure scaling could go back to the comfortable range)

Pro's
- Looks sharp & prettier (browsing & gaming)
- More desktop workspace

OP did you end up getting the 32" monitor ?

I'm also looking to upgrade from 24" (Dell Ultrasharp 2413), bought in 2013. Still working like normal but planing to get a new desktop as well so why not.

Is 24" considered small nowadays ? or still good for work and light gaming ?
