When it comes to building the ultimate gaming setup, one of the most overlooked—but most important—decisions is choosing the right monitor size. The perfect display can completely transform your experience, delivering sharp visuals, immersive gameplay, and ergonomic comfort. But how do you know what size is right for your space and style?
Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.
🎮 1. Consider Your Gaming Desk Space
Before jumping into specs and screen sizes, measure the available space on your gaming desk. A 27–32" monitor is ideal for most setups, offering a balance between screen real estate and desk comfort. If you're working with a compact desk, a 24" monitor might be a better fit. For those with a wide desk or using a monitor arm (like our Shadow Hunter series), 34" ultra-wides or even dual screens are a dream come true.
👀 2. Match Monitor Size with Resolution
Larger screens demand higher resolutions to avoid pixelation. Here's a quick pairing tip:
24–27": Best with 1080p or 1440p resolution
27–32": Ideal for 1440p or 4K
34”+ Ultra-wide: Best with 3440x1440 or 4K Ultra-wide
A crisp resolution keeps your visuals sharp, whether you're battling online or exploring open worlds.
💺 3. Think About Viewing Distance
The bigger the screen, the further back you’ll want to sit. Here's a rule of thumb:
24”–27” monitors: Optimal at 50–80cm (20–32 inches)
32”–34”+ monitors: Optimal at 80–100cm+
Too close to a large screen can cause eye fatigue or force you to move your head constantly—especially during fast-paced games.
🔄 4. Vertical or Horizontal? One or Two?
A single 27–32" curved display gives you stunning immersion, while dual 24–27" monitors (stacked or side-by-side with a monitor arm) are perfect for multitasking, especially for gamers who stream or work as well.
Check out our dual-arm monitor mounts that support up to 40” screens per arm, perfect for flexible setups.
🛠 5. Don’t Forget the Mount
Using a monitor arm gives you complete control over height, angle, and positioning—freeing up desk space and improving posture. Our HUMANEX gaming monitor arms are designed for UK gamers who want performance and style, supporting up to 45” displays with ease.
🏁 Final Tip: Choose What Feels Right
Specs matter, but your comfort and preference matter more. If you’re upgrading your setup, ask yourself:
Do you game competitively or casually?
Do you stream, edit, or work from the same desk?
Do you want immersive curved visuals or split-screen multitasking?
When in doubt, visit your local gaming store to try out sizes—or get adjustable mounts to test a few at home.
