How is this different from having smaller monitors, closer to the user? Does it come down to the distances at which the user can comfortably focus their eyes?

- woleium 5y agofor many people (esp as you get older) the longer focal distance will be easier on the eyes.
- mgerdts 5y agoI have a 4k 28" monitor which I can't use at its highest resolution with 100% scaling and a 4k 40" TV that is a few inches further away which I can comfortably use at its highest resolution with 100% scaling. I'm a big fan of the setup I have and suspect I would be equally happy with a slightly larger display (maybe up to 55") a bit further away. Maybe the 28" screen would be more usable with computer glasses. With the 40" screen, I can see fine with my regular glasses. 75" seems a bit extreme, as it would require a few more feet of distance between me and the screen to make the screen fit into my field of view. I could see it as beneficial and quite usable in a situation where you need high resolution with many people viewing it.
- corysama 5y agoPretty much. That and how much your view changes when you move your head. I’ve played with virtual monitors in VR. Everyone loves the idea of having 80 foot virtual monitors. But, all that really does is make it so you can’t move your head in close to examine the low-rez text like you can with smaller virtual monitors up close.
