TBH, I'd expect that size monitor to be very tiring as, unless one is a long way from it, one would have to keep moving ones head and eyes quite a long way, constantly.

According THX and SMPTE viewing standards you need to be a minimum of about 17-18 feet and a maximum of a little over 20 feet to appreciate 1080p at it's best on that size of a screen.

And that's for 1080p, if you have 4K (4096*2160) content, you'd need to be much closer to the screen, probably around 10-12 feet away.

Otherwise there's no point in having the resolution as you wouldn't be able to see the details unless you have some kind of augmented eyesight.
