4K Form-Factor and Pixel Density [POLL]

[georgespamme]

So we know all know that most 1080p monitors usually sit between 21"-24" with some 27" models, and most 1440p monitors sit at around 27" with a few at 32".  Logically, 4K monitors sit at around 32" or larger, right?  Wrong.  Almost all the 4k monitors available to the average consumer sit at about 28" with only 8 monitors on NewEgg listed larger.  Why are monitor makers pushing pixel density rather than increasing dimensions and keeping pixel densities similar to that of lower resolutions?  Is a 32" or larger monitor too large to be practical?  Would you like to see larger form-factor 4k monitors?  Am I stupid for asking all these questions?  Let me know below.

Why isn't sitting closer to a larger, lower pixel density monitor an option??

i dont think that it really matters, if people want high pixel count for games so it will look pretty and all that, then go for it. everyone kinda has a really differentiated opinion on this though, personally i really dont feel too different when im sitting 3-4 feet away from my 24 1080p screen compared to 2-3 feet away from my 3200x1800 blade.

Because it sounds like the worst option?

What if I don't like small monitors, but I also don't like sitting far away from my monitor?

27" is almost too large for 1440p if you ask me..

You're missing the in between option (40" 3840x2160)
