why make them TV sized rather than monitor sized?

I think most feel a 27” or possibly 32” is ideal.

Don’t know a single person with these enormous displays.

Also seems rather stupid to get something so large you have to push it way back so it ends up feeling like a 27-32”.

I use a 43-inch TV as my primary gaming screen. It's on a desk. I sit a little further back and use an old Corsair lapboard. It gives me a more relaxed sitting position. Also great for games where I use a gamepad.

As for ASUS' reasoning, mid-sized OLED screens are not made by many manufacturers. 42-inch and larger screens are common because LG use them for TVs. That's why most OLED monitors are large in size.

Right now, OLED screens are mostly available in laptop sizes and TV sizes. There aren't many in-between options, but that is quickly changing. Expect a lot more OLED monitor options over the next few years.

43 inch can be an ideal size for many genres of games, racing, space sim, 4x, RTS, odd simulators (farming, truck driving, etc).

It would be less ideal for an up close usage for saying FPS where your view is hyper focused on the middle area of the screen relying on your peripheral vision, which in this case adding way more screen reduces your chance of spotting something you normally would as theirs more information to process for your brain.

I think it's a worth while investment for a certain audience. Im just glad LG finally made it, it'll give the market more time to introduce more OLEDs and hopefully drive pricing down.
With that said I think miniLED will probably be more abundant in a short period of time compared to OLED.
