Just out of curiosity -- what's next? Flightsimming in an IMax theater on a 70 foot screen? (That may not even be a joke.)

Ever been on Soarin' at Disney?

Well nvidia has a flightsim system with 3 side by side LG OLED 65 inch. 

The TV was all set up, WOW.....

I did a bad thing...I load a youtube vid of a flight I did in DCS and sat 80cm away (4k ofc) as that would be my viewing distance if i used it for the PC, to big, but the 48" would be perfect. As for 4k and the quility, stunning, I will now have to go 4k with a LG OLED but will wait 2 years as now is not the time for all that. But wow... the F-18 VC on 55" at that range was like sitting it in and all seems life like size..well no I think it was a bit to big...lol...a sim changer for sure.

I am going to be around 3 feet away by the time I am setup, so I am hoping that will be enough, I can always budge back another quarter foot if needed.

Ian I looked up a few youtube setting vid's, on setting up the TV right, you probely have done the same but to give you idea, this was one I followed I ended up with EXPERT BRIGHT.

Anyway it might help?

LOL, and here I am wondering if an eventual upgrade to a 27 inch 2K monitor from my 23 inch 1080p will be too much on my desk.... 😄

27 inch is still good for a tighter setup and it is a significant upgrade even over 24 inch (my opinion as my sons have MSFS running on 24 inch’s) but don’t go 2K on a 27 incher. 1440p or better is the way to go. Otherwise the pixels are just too big. Even my old GTX980 Ti drives 1440p really well.

I thought 1440p was 2K, so I'm a little confused about your post. Are you suggesting 2K or 1440p is best on a 23 or 24" monitor, and 4K is best on all larger monitor sizes, including 27"?

Ken

All you need to know is for a 27” 1440 is best.

My Samsung G7 is stunning and comes in 27” or 32”

Why is 1440 best imo, Because 4K needs a big GPU and 1440 does not, so you will get a lot more FPS.

I’m thinking about picking up a LG OLED C1 77” display with g-sync premium.

A 77" screen!  When I was growing up we called that a Drive-in movie.
