I love large gaming monitors and I have a 32". But at what size is it considered too big for the distance as a gaming monitor? Not considering ultra wide

Its really upto your preference, what type of games you play and whether your eyes feel comfortable with the amount of light coming from the monitor.
I have used 55"s as monitors for text reading and gaming (currently downsized to 43). I tried various distances as close as like 3.5 feet on a large desk. For upclose usage, if you play something like racing games, its pretty awesome and feels very immersive. Some would argue VR is more immersive for this type of usage, but you get more resolution and graphical details for less immersiveness than VR. If you play something like LoL, where cursor moves around the screen a lot and fast, you may not be as responsive as when you play on smaller screen due to the wide range that your eyes need to cover. I sometimes had trouble locating the cursor on the screen, because I was too upclose to the screen.
As someone who tried larger than usual screen, I think its pretty awesome. I eventually settled with 43" and 6ft distance for text reading n working. I move up closer for certain games (fps, racing types). Hope this helps.
I only find a more expensive VA panel gigabyte fv43U. which is $1000 Too bad that thing is a BGR panel and it doesnt have a full HDMI 2.1 bandwith.
FV43U was just on sale for $850 at Amazon on Nov 23-25th.
This monitor also has a BGR subpixel arrangement, worse smearing and worse brightness/HDR performance.
Limited HDMI 2.1 works great for people with 3xxx or 6xxx series cards as DSC allows full 144hz 4:4:4 8b+FRC. But if you're using it for a PC, then DisplayPort works just as well.
Anyone buying this for console would probably be better off with a LG C1.
For desktop use, VESA mount a BGR display, flip it 180 and use either Windowed mode GSync or use SpecialK to have same performance as fullscreen mode using dxgi flip. Silly workaround but it does wonders. One caveat is some monitors have increased input lag when flipped so test it first before going through the hassle — most don't have this issue though.

Dumb idea to make a PC monitor BGR. What are they thinking?
