Comment on Ask HN: Anyone got a 43" 4K? Thoughts?

Comments

This could be the best choice if you want to maintain the same text scale and while increasing readability. Unless it's a curved screen or kept far away from the eyes, you'll probably notice a slight fisheye lens effect when focusing on things at the far corners of the screen. This could be improved by moving the screen further back, if your desk allows it.

Alternatively, what if you added a 2nd 32" 4K screen and then increased the text scaling? Both screens would lose real estate, but you'd have more total screen space and the text wouldn't become any less sharp. This might be the better option unless you're limited to a single screen for some reason (limited ports/bandwidth, M1/M2 Macbook Air models, or lack of desk width).
