I got nerdy about it and measured the ratio... you'd get 250 lines at my not very good eyesight 12pt font size. A more common font size might eve yield 300 lines


Keep in mind that the monitor will be pretty far from your eyes at those dimensions. For me, when rotated, the monitor extends from below waist height to the top of my head when standing straight at a standing desk.

It's a bit silly though, since the keyboard is far too low for typing comments on a diff. And if one raises the desk so that the keyboard is at the right height, it's a good workout for the neck to put it mildly.
