I can't handle anything over 25" for gaming/general pc use. It's just too much eye movement. It lowers reaction time and increases mouse movement.
 
Mouse movement is based on resolution not screen size a 1080p 27in and a 1080p 12in have the same amount of mouse movement. I get what you are saying though; I used to use a 46in for daily usage and determined it was much too large plus the heat coming off of it was insane.
 
Used a 19" Westinghouse LCD monitor for 3 or 4 years. Currently using an Acer 23" 1080p LCD monitor that gets the job done. At work I use a 32" Westinghouse 1080p screen; a little rough on the eyes for writing code but at least the whole team can see what you're doing.

With the exception to my laptops, I cannot work with a single monitor, for some reason, I get the feeling I'm missing something, lol.

I posted this elsewhere, but here are my 2 monitors on a custom welded stand. I rotated one of the monitors 90-degrees for better list and picture viewing, and I used Ultramon to compensate for the right monitor being 50-pixels higher.

I love the stand dude, that is really creative!
 
15" CRT monitor (IBM branded) that came with the IBM Aptiva 2187 that i bought back in 1998 - Can't believe it's still working.
