Question Ideal Monitor Size for Current Setup

[theflyingjapman]

Hi all. I would like to ask recommendation and advise for monitor size to purchase. I cannot attach the diagram I made with my current table setup so let me list it here.

Table: IKEA Utespelare 160cm x 80cm (link)
Current Monitor: ASUS VX239H 23" AH-IPS
GPU: Kuroshio Geforce GTX 1050Ti

My current distance from chair to monitor is 50cm. I would like to know if 32 inch is too big or will cause eye strain? What is the maximum ideal size for the table dimension and distance I mentioned?
Thank you.

I sit 70cm from the tip of my nose to my screen. I have/had a 32" TV at home, and grabbed a 27" monitor from work to test both. I decided 32" required too much eye/head movement so I bought a 27" monitor. I do still use my Asus VS239H-P as my secondary monitor.

I would encourage you to do a side-by-side like I did (if you can). Be forewarned that, coming from a 23" monitor, both options will look large initially.

I'd say that 27" sits in the grey area for resolution, with 1080p being acceptable for some, but 1440p being acceptable for all. At 32", you'll want 1440p.

Gonna be hard for a side-by-side comparison as I need to sell this 23inch first. But I'll take your advice and go for 27 inch. I tried to visualize a 32 inch monitor using tape measure and indeed it is quite big or too close.
