100% in agreement. Trying to get rid of my 32" 4K. Too much head panning and scanning. I want to comfortably see the entire screen without effort at less than 12 inches away. Creatives likely get some benefit with large displays, but for people who read, code, do productive stuff, it's too much screen, too much pixels.

27" @ WQHD res seems just about right. 4K if you absolutely must.

I wouldn’t use a display from this close. It’s better for my eyes to have a larger display a little further away. I’m closer to 30” with a 32” and another desk with a 38”

I do all of those things and find the opposite. So it would seem it’s more down to individual preference.

I would dislike this. Especially for text and even more at closer distances.
