3-4 feet! When I play game on my PC I play about 1-2 feet away. I guess I don't notice any resolution issues as I sit 10 feet away from a 1080p 100" projector screen for my PS4

But that is still a serious amount of money. I just got my 2 ASUS 23" monitors for £200 ($300ish) each. Don't want to pay ~triple the price now, especially as only Netflix will make it useful

If I want 4K, I think I'll get a 4K TV then just move my PC (after giving it another or better graphics card) when I want to play Star Citizen in 4k

3-4 feet would be the max distance you can sit and notice the difference, I am aware most people sit ~2 feet away from a monitor.

And yeah it is not cheap by any means, but when you think about price per pixel per inch ratio...its pretty good. 4X the pixels that your monitor provides but only 2.75X the price. :)

To be honest, over the holiday season sales I've picked up the 29 inch 21:9 ratio LG monitor for my PC and this is awesome. If they could make a a "5K" version of that (needs to be wider to accomodate for the 21:9 ratio), make it 35-40 inches and curved, no one would ever need to go eyefinity or tripple monitor ever again.

Nobody NEEDS to go triple monitor... But it's nice to know that if I had a lot of money to spend, there are crazy things I could do with my PC. The problem with all this sort of stuff is that it appeals to such a niche market, it's never going to be cheap. That problem is worsed by the fact that you have these 4k monitors, then multi-screen set ups and also the Oculus Rift competing for the same pie and it's not a big pie. Economics of scale aren't going to get any of those things too cheap any time soon

Personally, I'm okay with just playing a game on a single screen. My friend has triple monitors, but it just didn't seem worth it to me. Nothing has really made me go wow and get me to part with my money
