Found two I like. One is 27 and one is 31.5

Debating if the 31 is too big. Both are curved. I like the look of the curved.

TIA

I have 2, 27 in. monitors mounted on a third party bracket.
The bracket makes for a cleaner installation and it gives range of adjustment.

Can’t be too big for me. I have a Dell 35” ultra wide, curved, high res. Cost about $750. My next one will be a 43-inch Dell full size.

This depends A LOT on your graphics card. If you have a semi recent Nvidia card like a GTX then you shouldn’t have any problems; just plug and play. If you only have an Intel might be a huge headache. That was my experience. Any refresh rate that isn’t a multiple of 60Hz will give me a splitting headache in less than 5 minutes. As far as size, I had 2-24” curved monitors placed next to each other and it was too much. Basically it was distracting. Swapped them out for a 32” and that was still a little too much. Curved 27” was just about right. Just like with a TV, the viewing distance is key. With the new graphics cards that are on the market I’m hearing a lot of people are buying 32”+ or whatever TV’s and just using that as a monitor.

Hmm. Ok. It’s a 5 year old i7 HP laptop

I can’t decide between the 27 or 31. I’m just afraid the 31 is going to make my head hurt but I don’t want the 27 inch to look too small

I've got twin 27" Samsungs running 1920x1080. They are about 5 years old but I wouldn't trade them for anything. Perfect setup for my office and equipment.
