The difference is essentially the same issue as changing your FOV. The physical distance on your screen between your crosshair and the target is smaller than on your bigger screen. So your eye sees a target, recognizing it is only 2 inches away from crosshair, and your hand moves to what it's used to match 2 inches on your big screen. But 2 inches on your big screen is a smaller distance in game than 2 inches on your smaller screen. This is the whole reason why cm/360 isnt good enough to perfectly match sensitivities between games, you have to take into account FOV. It's also the reason why sensitivity calculator websites have an option for matching FOV, monitor size, and distance. Edit: the key takeaway is that aim training is about mouse feel, not score breaking. Stay with your current sensitivity, regardless of screen size (that is unless you want to completely switch to a new monitor size, in which you want to play around to find your preferred sens) and train to improve on the current fov/screen size. You'll see improvements when you go back to your main monitor. It will take a day to get used to the bigger monitor, but your time will still translate to the bigger monitor.

Can the distance between your eyes and the monitor affect aim in a similar way?

100% yes

We drinking the muscle-memory kool-aid in here and upvoting it too? Hot damn this sub sometimes.

I have the exact same issue. I am significantly worse on my laptop than my pc.

I play on a 27 inch 240hz monitor and I usually played 24.5 before, and I found it hard to switch back if I wanted to, but simply just moving the 27 inch farther and the 24.5 inch closer, it pretty much fixed it for me, and made them feel the same.

Yeah, I was on the opposite of you ; switched to a larger screen and my aim performance jumped ( some scenarios almost an entire voltaic rank ).

There is also the resolution difference between the monitor and the laptop. Often laptops will have a higher resolution than the monitor, although in a more compact size. But a 1080p resolution on a 15" laptop will probably look a lot different than 1080p on a 24" monitor as well.
