Which sizes were used there? I prefer 24” by a wide margin. Whatever resolution I have to accept at that size I will. I find myself moving my head around and moving my eyes around the screen too much with 27”+.
I cannot remember of the top of my head what the size was, but the problem was that it was around an arms length away from me and I had to move my head/eyes too much when using it. After that, checking how much space i have for my desktop became something I was much more conscious about. Before that it was just: this new monitor me like, me buy.
