Reply to comment by I_LOVE_PURPLE_PUPPY in Samsung is building an “8K” ultrawide monitor to succeed its massive Odyssey Neo G9 by Sirisian

Our eyes get more tired with a setup like that. The problem is that you have to place the TV farther away than a monitor.

For long work periods it's better to focus on no more than an arm's length. That's what our eyes got used to doing for thousands of years.

The pixel density on a 65" 8K screen is the same as a 32" 4K screen. Just treat it like a dual (or quad) monitor setup without any bezels in between.

Consider this:

To use a 32" 4k monitor, you need to place it at the same distance as a notebook, so you can see it just like you see a 16" 1080p screen (you wouldn't push that screen farther away).

Now if you replace that screen with a 65" 8k, you'd need to keep that distance, and you'd end up with a ginourmous screen very close to your face. I just went close to my 65" TV and it doesn't make sense.

Either you place the screen close and your eyes get tired from movement, or you place a larger screen farther away and get tired from focusing on distance.
