I do kicad on my desktop with a 27” 4K monitor with 150% scaling. Works nicely  :-//

Extra pixels make one hell of a difference. You don’t notice it until you go back to a shitty monitor again.

I prefer a big screen for almost anything...  it acts like a big desktop...  and when it comes to desktops, engineers are often hard pressed!

For a particular project, you might need a PCB design application running, as well as a simulator, Excel, perhaps mechanical CAD,  a couple of open web pages with too much white space in them so they take up too much room, etc. etc. -  life gets very tiresome in a small monitor when you have to keep swapping apps instead of just having them open permanently on a yuuuuge monitor (or 2x or 3x yuuge monitors).

Look at financial traders: they also deal with high information density, and the rule in that industry is to put up 4 - 8 (or more) big monitors so the trader never has to waste time swapping an application in or out of view...
