27" is ideal for desktop usage unless you are viewing from far away. 43" is way too big to the point where it'll caused neck and eye strain. At the same viewing distances with a 43" vs a 27", on the 43" you're eyes are going to be moving a lot more due to the increased screen size. This additional movement takes time as well. This is why most competitive gamers use a 24 to 25" monitor. The majority of your vision's resolution is in the center, aka where you are focusing. This is why foveated rendering is a thing. That said productivity drops on smaller monitor sizes when you have a more complicated workflow. 27" monitors are a good balance as they allow a reasonable amount of complexity while keeping the size down to reduce travel distance and strain. 32 - 34" is acceptable for complicated workflows, either in 16:9 / 16:10 or ultrawide formats. 43" inches though, that's just too big. This size would only make sense in ultra-wide format as that avoids the neck strain issues and the display can format media like games with bars on the side to reduce eye travel distance. In this size class it's the only way to go for desktop monitors excepting those that view from further away.
You should try the VRZ model one. The only headphones I know of that can match a speak setup's spatial quality while still having all the advantages of closed back headphones.
It's quite good sitting 3ft away once you get used to it, my eyes are less tired than they were with a 32" 4k 60hz and no neck pain from unnecessary head movements.
MSRP of this Samsung will of course be 8k$
What's the point of a bigger monitor if you are going to sit further back and in effect make it the same as a smaller monitor? Might as well have bought a smaller monitor and avoid neck and eye issues in the first place.
His monitor size and usage figures are pretty true to what we know about monitors. The larger the monitor, the more your eyes have to travel (which causes eye fatigue and wastes time). In addition, above 32" at normal viewing distracted you introduce neck strain. The advantage of larger monitors is that you can handle more complex tasks with larger monitors. 24-25" is enough for simple things like games, 27" is good for moderate complexity tasks, and 32-34 is enough size for more advanced workflows. Of course you can go larger but it only makes sense if you are viewing from farther away or using an ultrawide (which is far more versatile then a fat 43").
