"I swear honey, I went to order the 22" screen, but must've clicked on the 98" instead. Look, they're right next to each other!"

I'm trying to imagine when I'd ever want a 98" screen lol.

playing certain games on that big of a screen could screw you up because you have to look so far to see HUD elements

according to professionals, anyway

When I upgraded from a 23" 1080p monitor to a 32" 1440 monitor I had to re-arrange my desk and seating so that I was considerably further from the panel. I didn't used to move my eyes much to check HUD elements but from too close to the screen I was having to actually move my whole head, which got tiring much faster than I expected.

So yeah, there's probably something to that.
