At the moment I am looking to get either the pb258q or the pb278q. (22" 1680x1050 currently using)
I am not sure if the 25" will be to small for 1440p from my viewing distance. My average viewing distance would be in between 2 to 3 feet, if I'm tense or relaxed laid back.

I am used to my really fine pixel density from my surface pro3, though It does use a little scalling. and that fact its a tablet/laptop, not a desktop monitor.

I hear the 27" is the sweet spot, but not sure if I want a screen that big and the fact that 278q is $389 and the 258q just went on sale for 279.99.

Another reason I want the 25" would be to get a second one in the future for dual monitor setup.
Seems two 27"s might be a little too much.

I belive I would be fine with the 25 but just worried about desktop use from 3 feet away.
anyone with personal experience?

I see there are other threads on this topic, but still on the fence, and would like search for some more insightful answers.

Thanks in advance
