I know there’s a potential truckload of variation for this value, but if anyone happens to know the physical viewing distance between their eyes and their (center) monitor I would appreciate hearing it. Feel free to throw in anything additional you may want. Screen size. In front or behind wheelbase. Etc…
I’m in the “on paper” planning stages for my first rig and considering my options for for a single monitor which is all I have space for. Here in the U.S. we have the MSI MAG401QR available to us. It’s a 40 inch 3440x1440 panel so somewhat low ppi. I should hopefully be able to view the monitor myself at a Microcenter and want to make sure I’m at least somewhere in the ballpark of a typical rig viewing distance when I judge this monitor’s ppi in person.
If you want to throw out alternatives to the MSI, feel free but I have some pretty strict criteria that seems to rule out nearly every other monitor option I've looked into.
a) I will never have space for triples any time in the foreseeable future. So no “placeholder until triples” or “add two more later” for me.
b) I can’t afford something like a Samsung G9 and don’t have space to acoomodate its width even if I could.
c) I do not want anything based on a VA panel
