I am 37 so not old but also not young :) For me I find the opposite. I prefer a high quality and high resolution but smaller monitor. By smaller I mean sub-30" which isn't small by any means but it is smaller than what I see many people use these days. Most people I know have 32" or larger monitors and that is just way too big for me. I currently use a 27" 4K monitor and even that I find a little too big but until I can find a 3:2 or 16:10 ~25" monitor I am not bothered enough to replace it. Over the years I have realised I am most productive with a tiled window layout. Often side by side or in a 2x2 grid layout. I then make use of virtual desktops. I find too much "desktop real estate" frustrating and overwhelming. I get "lost" looking for what I want in a mess of windows so much prefer to have what I am working on side by side. Floating windows are only for short lived windows such as print or settings dialogs and not long term items on my desktop. I prefer to use integer scaling so 4K @ 2x gives me a lovely 1080p "look" which is fine (not perfect on a 27" but very close). Providing I can integer scale I will always buy the best monitor I can and run it scaled to give me this ~1080p UI control size. I just love how crisp text is on a HiDPI screen. Using my wifes 24" 1080p monitor from work is horrible to my eyes now. I guess I have officially been spoilt by high quality screens :)
