I think 40" is exactly right. I've been using a 30" monitor for 8 years now. At first it seemed overly large. Now I want one more column, and find 27" cramped when I have to use one of those.

I am concerned about throwing too much light at my eyes. That's why my next monitor will be one that has solid blacks and good contrast.

I'm not concerned about neck strain. I bet you're more likely to get neck strain holding your neck in the same place for 8 hours than you would
