Size and pixel density concerns aside, one downside of larger monitors is the power draw. This burns 64W, which adds £3 to your monthly electricity bill if used for 8hrs every weekday. It's not a terrible amount, but I can run 3 micro pc servers 24/7 for that cost.

Imagine living in a so-called "civilization" in which your productivity is limited not by time or tools but by how much it costs to buy photons to shoot into your eyeballs.
