since I was given a monitor from work and I'm remote, I've opted to trying out exactly that. Although I can understand where you're coming from.I sit at a computer desk all day at work. Ill never come home and do the same so I'll pick couch and big TV. I don't even own a desk.
the way I see it though is that if you're at a desk, your eyes are a lot closer to the screen so you shouldn't have a big one. or I guess that could just be an urban legend.I used to be everything on the tv; consoles and PC.
But even after building our home theatre (75" in-wall/ceiling Atmos, etc) I've since built a way better home office (basically perma-WFH) and have moved the gaming PC there instead.
To be honest I'm mostly console these days, where my PC gaming rig is meant for isometric CRPGs, 4X, RTS, and the like...and it just feels way better on a traditionally smaller PC screen (even though it's a 34" ultrawide lol) but it might be the playing on a desk with MnK instead.
I'd almost say the thread could also be based on the format of your gaming space (couch vs desk) rather than based on the screen size (tv vs monitor).
Lol it's def a myth, but the fatigue you get is real.the way I see it though is that if you're at a desk, your eyes are a lot closer to the screen so you shouldn't have a big one. or I guess that could just be an urban legend.
I used to rent a 70 square ft room and bought a 55" OLED for it. One of my roommates at the time was saying that when I play video games I'm gonna be constantly turning my head to look around on the screen because of how big it was in the small room but that never ended up being the case.Lol it's def a myth, but the fatigue you get is real.
Usually the issue is the closer to a screen you are the less you blink, which increases dryness of eyes, causing fatigue and eye strain.
But I definitely know what you mean, some big screens close up are just a lot to deal with lol.
