Would you think the distance you sit from your monitor affects your ingame sensitivity / accuracy?

[NilValue]

Hello,

I've tested, with me as the only test subject, if my ingame accuracy and feel of sensitivity changes depending on how far away i am from my monitor. I usually sit around 55cm from my display. If I move closer to monitor (around 20cm away) I notice that my sensitivity starts feeling too fast and my accuracy suffers, too.

Has anyone else experience with this?

Your opinions on one particular theoretical comparison would be interesting to me in this regard:

Imagine you're looking at a 20'' size monitor with a scene with a horizontal field of view of say 90° on it. Now imagine you'd compare that to something like a cinema screen, maybe 100 times as large, with the same scene on it.

According to a different discussion on these forums (https://www.mouse-sensitivity.com/forum/topic/4631-same-game-monitor-size-change-different-aim-can-you-help/page/2/#comments) you'd have to reduce your sensitivity then by a factor of 100 (assuming you want to match 0% monitor distance), because the screen is now 100 times as large. This seems a little bit excessive and kind of makes little sense to me.

My question is this: If you were to move backwards (increasing your real life distance to the monitor) 100 times as far instead, wouldn't this cancel out the size difference, too?

Personally I don't feel any difference in sensitivity based on distance or monitor size. However this is individual, some like you might experience the sensitivity differently.

Ah ok, thank you.

But how do you feel about the example I explained in my second post in this thread? I'd really appreciate to get your opinion on that.  Because in that case, if you were to stay at the same place (same distance to the screen), wouldn't that be awkward for you, too?
