Does the size matter? How big is too big?!

Hey Monkeys,

As we know "the size does not matter", might not always be true. What screen size do you recommend for an ultimate Work From Home set-up?

I was thinking about single, curved 27'' or 32'' screen. Do you have experiences with curved screens? How big is "too big"?

Hoping for valuable insights and good laugh in the comments.

Stay safe!

Edit: When you read the topic title you expected something else? You cheeky Monkey!

Bloomberg doesn't take that well to a single 4k environment as well as quad 1080p screens right now. Consider multiple monitors if possible if that's an app. A general idea is to just keep adding things until you begin to lose them in your peripheral vision. (That's normally 6)

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
 

Depends on how big your desk is imo. Also on what you do. My good buddy is a trader and has like 6 screens but I'd get lost if I had that many.

At the office, I have a huge desk and tons of space so (2) 27" monitors does the trick. At home, 48"; desk with (1) 27" monitor and my laptop on a stand next to it. I can add my portable monitor on the other side if I really need it but don't do that frequently.

Curved monitors are cool but the bank wont purchase those for us yet so a basic adjustable height / flip HP 27" is what I got. Works perfectly for $100

 

I have a 47inch flat screen as my monitor in the home office - would recommend. It’s on a large teak table from Bermuda with Bose bookshelf speakers to jam out on the cycling trainer in that room. The large screen is also great for multitabling in poker.
