The monitor market is too small, so it caters to a very narrow set of buyers. For most of my life, I've been using laptop screens. Nothing over 17 inches. Now that I'm on a desktop, I got myself a 22 inch, 1080p IPS display. I tried using a hand-me-down 27 incher, but it was really uncomfortable.
Everything was too small for my crappy vision by default, so I had to scale it up. But there was still the problem of feeling like I was sitting right in front of a tv. Everything wasn't in my field of vision like I'm used to, even when I moved half the stand off my desk that has 25 inches of depth, balancing it against the wall. I'm also used to maximizing most applications, especially the browser. If you do that with a huge screen though, even scaled to look fine, it takes way too much dragging for your mouse to get from one end to another. It's just sub-optimal, but that's the "work-flow" I'm accustomed to.
So what's the problem with what I have now? I want better colors and higher resolution. Even my laptop screen has better colors although that's also an ips. I'm willing to pay money for primo colors, but there aren't even any 24 inch OLEDs. Anything with new technology is 27 inches at the minimum, or a laptop screen, because that's what most people actually use, OR a portable monitor that's at most 16 inches and 1080p.
Maybe if I got a 27 incher and forced myself to use it for weeks, I'd eventually get used to it, but I really hated my short stint with one.
