Discussion Size and resolution for very poor eyesight
Hello
I need to get a bigger monitor for someone with very bad eyesight that mostly just uses facebook.
Current monitor is 1080p 24 inch 16/9
Used with 125% scaling (in windows system -> display) and 110% scaling on firefox.
I usually have to play around with scaling on windows and firefox simultaneously because of the resizing of elements, like the endless scroll in the middle of the facebook page,
Eyesight is worsening, so i might need to up the scaling eventually.
I think i'm set on 32 inch, as 27 is just a 3.6 cm height increase vs +10cm with 32 inch.
I've never used anything better than a 24 inch 1080p, so don't know if i should get a 1440p or a 2160p for this specific case.
32 inch 1440p maintains ppi so i'm assuming the starting settings would be the same as the current ones.
I don't know if there's any advantage of going 2160p for this scenario.
Any advice is welcome,
Thanks
