Where are the 33"-39" 16:9 4K monitors?

I just sit back further from my 42" 4K (including it being further back on a deep desk), scale Windows some, and enjoyed regaining some desk space. If I couldn't do that then I'd prefer closer to 35".

Main complaint is that 42" of light is a lot, can cause some eye strain so I'm often switching between low brightness to reduce that, then middling brightness when I need to see more grayscaling detail.

Agreed, I keep the remote for mine close at hand since it has a brightness adjustment right on it so no messing with on screen menus.

I tend to leave it around 30% brightness for normal use, movies get it brought up to 75-85%

...Really what we need IMO, is a manufacturer making a 40" monitor that is curved to a visual centre about 50 cm away - curved in both horizontal and vertical planes...

I'd be interested in a really big curved monitor, but I sit 1m away from a 32" monitor (and sometimes further if I'm watching a film), so a 50cm radius would be too small for a 40" monitor.

I found the best solution was an adjustable wall mount...

With a wall mount, you can position the monitor so the bottom edge is below the desk, allowing you to fit an even taller one in.
 
A 32" 16:9 monitor is about equal area to a 35" 21:9 monitor. I'm waiting for a good 32" monitor but it seems to go on forever.

I am happy to find here we have same demand on the 4k 16:9 screen between 32 and 39 where the market lacks of. For me the size around 35 in, 80 wide, 50 high is the best fit for programming and design purpose. Especially the height should be considered that will give me a glance of document and code. Currently all size below 40 in monitors don't have a height, but size over 40 is too much wide.

You can calibrate it at the lower brightness setting, even a software tool does a pretty decent job. I run my TV at 0 brightness for desktop use and crank it up in games/movies only. I also use dark UI themes to reduce eye strain wherever possible and have that in windows and many programs (and this forum).
 
*raises hands* i use a 32inch 4k, and honestly i think its the perfect size for a 4k.

Font is not too small where my aged eyes need to squint to see.
The only thing i do not like about it the scaling it has with my 1440p ultrawide gaming monitor as the pixil density is lower.

But i think if it was any bigger you would be lost in a zone section of the monitor up close, and if its too small, your going to squint the hell out to read forums.
