 For optimum gameplay, comfort and budget balance, smaller monitors often prove more beneficial, says how to geek. Can a monitor be too big? I 100% agree with this. I had an experience that I will now share with you, which is this. I thought it would be cool to have a 46 inch 4K television as a computer monitor. I thought that would be the coolest way to play. I can play in 4K, HDR, all the fancy bells and whistles and do it right for my computer. Here's what happened. I would miss all kinds of special peripheral UI elements. It would be like, I'm going to know where is that supposed to be? I don't see it. Well, way over here, if I had just stood back and looked up to the left, I would have seen the tiny corner up here. Where some very valuable UI information is telling me exactly what I need and where I need to go. This article is correct as far as I'm concerned. Everyone's going to be a little bit different. You might just be fine with your gigantic screen, but I don't, it didn't work for me. It made me feel kind of dumb, if I'm honest. I didn't like it.
