27" at 1440p for me personally. But I have two as my two primary monitors. Then I have a crappy old 720p 24" and 10" I currently forget the pixel density of. I want to say 2k
I use a 4K TV that’s 43”, but I like to run games at 1440p native (I.e 1:1 pixels, no stretching) when I measured it out it was the same as a 27” monitor which I thought was perfect.
Depends on what you’re looking for I think. For a lot of people (me included) 27" 1440p 144hz is the sweet spot. You get good DPI for your viewing distance, not too taxing on your hardware, the price point isn’t ridiculous and you can fit the whole screen in your field of view without having to move your head.
I could definitely see going slightly bigger for immersive games, but I’d have to start making compromises I’m not sure I’d be willing to.
Even general desktop use is much more fluid like the mouse cursor, scrolling, and moving windows. I immediately notice if a monitor is running at 60 hz.

1440p for the win!
For most people sitting at a computer, this is likely the ideal based on distance from, and size of, monitor
28" or 32" though?

Personally I’d go with 34", but I’m an ultrawide kind of person.
I’m even considering the ridiculously wide 49" lenovo, at 5120x1440 it certainly beats the 2560x1440 and companion 1080p display I use today.
1440p at 144hz is the ideal imo.

I’m using 1080p at 144hz. It’s great!
