I switched from a small laptop screen (15 inch I think), to a 27 inch monitor, and I think smaller screens might be better. Im not yet sure though.

I have a Samsung 23 inch and I'm pleased with its size. Anything larger and I would have to be constantly shifting my viewpoint.

I think youd have to increase the distance to the screen the larger the screen gets. Otherwise the minimap is going to be out of your vision.

I play on a 13" laptop =S

Anything over 21" would feel massive to me.

I have 1600x900 monitor. Looks great.

Probably 1920x1080 is best. (How many inches???)

21" to 23" at 1080p is probably the sweet spot. x)

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

That''s not the size, it''s the resolution.

I play at ~15 inch at 1080p and it''s great, but sometimes I wish to zoom out a bit more (so having a bit bigger screen).

For optimal play, I really enjoyed 17 inch personally.

But thatd reduce the stream enjoyment quite a bit :p

it would also be interesting to know how far you sit away from your monitor.

i play on 27" and sit about 70cm away.

24 inch and feels perfect (most pro players in CS:GO use 24 inch monitors, so I guess it's common in esports). Distance about maybe 30-40 cm.
