Less room doesn’t have to mean less screen. Our picks for desks under about 40 inches wide, with the real footprint of each.
Measure your desk, then leave a few inches either side. The 34″ is 32.0″ wide; the 27″ OLED is 24.0″.
Shallow desks need a shallow stand. The 34″ Business stand is 8.4″ deep; the 27″ OLED’s is 10.2″.
Mounting on an arm frees the space under the screen. Check the VESA size: 100 × 100 on the 34″ and 40″, 75 × 75 on the 27″ OLED.

How we chose: product details come from each model’s current factory spec sheet. Dimensions with stand from each model’s factory spec sheet. 27″ OLED: 610.7 × 259.4 mm; 34″ Business: 811.75 × 213 mm; 40″ 5K2K: 947 × 243 mm (W × D).
A 34″ ultrawide (32.0″ wide with its stand) fits comfortably. The 40″ 5K2K is 37.3″ wide, which fits but leaves little room either side.
Yes. The 34″ Business stand is 8.4″ deep. On a very shallow desk, a monitor arm (100 × 100 VESA on our 34″ and 40″) moves the stand off the desk entirely.
Not necessarily. Our 34″ ultrawide is only about 8″ wider than our 27″ OLED, stands included, and gives you two side-by-side windows on one screen.
Five questions, one match, and a life-size look on your desk.
