When You Want to Go Big on Triples: 42″ TVs vs 32″

Open in Screen Planner

42″ OLED TVs vs the community sweet spot 32″ gaming monitors.

Practical Takeaways

  • Performance reality: Modern OLED TVs support 120 Hz + VRR over HDMI 2.1 and look great. Most lack DisplayPort, so triple-TV rigs often need DP→HDMI adapters, test compatibility first.

  • Scale & distance: With correct FOV, scale is the same. Here the 42s show a touch more vertical; the 32s are closer and keep wrap punchy.

  • Footprint & mounts: Expect +36 cm more width with 42s and heavier mounting. 32s stay manageable, that’s why they’re the common sweet spot.
