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.
