What Is the Best Monitor Size for Gaming? [Simple Guide]
[Music]
we've talked a lot about monitors in
this channel so far we've covered
everything from resolution and aliasing
to refresh rates and response times but
the one thing we've always kind of
skimmed over is the size of these
monitors and while yes size isn't as
important and aspect to consider as all
the other ones it definitely deserves a
video of itself after all this other
aspects are important to know and keep
an eye out for but when you go into a
store and you say you want to buy a
monitor you're most likely to get asked
what size are we talking about so that's
why we've made this video to once and
for all brush up on what the best
monitor size is for gaming we'll also be
looking at the advantages and
disadvantages of smaller and larger
monitors and what size go best with
which resolution first things first
let's see what sizes you'll even be able
to find monitors and today if we're
talking about modern monitors you'll be
hard-pressed to find anything smaller
than 21 inches diagonal anything smaller
is usually reserved only for laptop
monitors that trade size for other
features like for example touchscreen
and for the most part monitor sizes cap
out at 27 inches and within this 21 to
27 inch range monitors between 21 and 24
inches are reserved for 1080p
resolutions monitors are made for
viewing from up close after all and any
display larger than 24 inches and 1080p
will suffer from noticeable aliasing
from that distance meaning you'll
actually be able to distinguish actual
individual pixels and you don't want
that however while these wider monitors
may be unfit for 1080p
they simply shine in 2k in 4k
resolutions cramming all of those pixels
into anything smaller would be a waste
but these resolutions don't tap out at
27 inches because they're close to
noticeable aliasing far from it actually
especially in 4k resolutions the reason
27 is as
monitors go is more pragmatic in nature
like we've said monitors are made for
viewing up close and it would be very
uncomfortable to view anything larger
than that from such a close proximity so
how close is too close obviously the
larger the monitor is the further away
it will have to be for optimal viewing
and to avoid eye fatigue but you may be
surprised to hear that this is actually
somewhat of a formula for determining
the optimal viewing distance it's not
really an exact science but the rule of
thumb is that the viewing distance
should be roughly proportional to the
monitors diagonal so for example if you
have a 24 inch screen then your eyes
should be somewhere between 24 and 48
inches away from the display of course
if you're still experiencing eye fatigue
even from this distance then you should
definitely move farther away but it's a
good place to start
so to reach any sort of conclusion for
this topic we have to look at how
different screen sizes resolutions and
viewing distances work in tandem first
and foremost let's get resolutions out
of the equation we advise with sticking
with 24 inches for 1080p monitors while
2k in 4k it's up to you whether you want
to go with 25 26 or 27 inches these
larger monitors will be able to take
full advantage of higher resolutions but
you should also consider the logistics
if you plan on getting one of these
namely how big is your desk
you'll definitely want to be sitting
further away from a 27-inch monitor than
you would from a 24 inch one and if you
have a small desk that moment allowed
this optional viewing distance then your
monitor will be more trouble than it's
worth
and finally if you're planning and
getting anything larger than 30 inches
then we suggest giving monitors a pass
and instead turning your attention
towards TVs if you're even considering
this then you obviously have the setup
that will allow for a good viewing
distance and TVs will offer a better
image for multimedia just make sure to
buy a TV that has a good response time
and a game mode that will get rid of
input lag and there you have it the best
monitor size for gaming the large
majority of people agree that 24 inch
monitors are at the most comfortable
size but you can make any size work with
adequate room we'd like to know what
size your monitor is and how well it's
been treating you
easy to get swept up by the numbers so
it's always good to see some first-hand
experience comments for those insights
