So what monitor do you use then?

A 24" 4k Dell monitor. Not perfect, because it has a moire pattern on white backgrounds because of the anti reflection coating.

So this part is pure trigonometry: how much further does a monitor like this have to sit on your desk, to have the same pixels-per-steradian as a 4k 27"?

Yeah. That's what I mean. Just a little further away, same pixel density. It's nice.

On the other hand, brightness decreases 1/distance^2. You would need a brighter panel to achieve the same brightness at a farther distance.

Ah interesting, thanks! On which "virtual resolution" do you set it? Or simply at 2X?

[copperx]

2x, anything else is too blurry.

That monitor has not been for sale for some time, I looked it up. IMHO you are lucky to have one.
