Definitely. I would personally prefer a 30" even for 1440p. But a 4K under 30", no way.

I have Asus PG278Q ROG Swift, its a 27 screen, and honestly after using it for some time, id love it to be bigger. 30at least, 32-34 Curved IPS would be perfect. But oh well I can keep dreaming, and my wallet is shouting at me again. :nerd:

Naah... I'd rather see scaling improved. I want to make use of that higher PPI for better text rendering, not to gain more space. This is a perfect size for 4K.

Exactly this! I want to get the same awesome looking monitor screens as we do on mobile phones! 720p screen on a mobile has way more ppi than a 24" 4K monitor but a 1440p mobile screen looks soooo much better than a 720p one so it does matter. We only need to get better text and font scaling.

To small u lose detail by it to much.

Imo too small for 4k. This size is more appropriate for 1440p.

+1

I have a 43" 4K set and I would say below 32" is way too small. Major text issues will occur in many games as they aren't ready for 4K (no scaling).

27 - 32 inch for 4k is what I'm after with 144Hz and some kind of Freesync motion blur reduction system. Perhaps in some form panel that improves on the failings of current IPS ones. OLED is way to expensive....

Personally I can extremely easily see detail and would find 4k in a 27" panel to still be lacking in an ideal world, even if still very nice compared to the shameful 1080 panels @ 60Hz we have been subjected to for so long.
- (I've been holding out for an ideal panel too long now lol )

Probably going to buy a stop gap 1440 144Hz IPS panel in the next day or so, then hope for a really nice release next year maybe with good Quantum Dot tech included.
