24 Inch Is The 1080p Sweetspot?

[Made In Canada]

Just a quick question, what does the "24 inch is the 1080p sweetspot" phrase mean?

 

I would guess it has something to do with the pixels and size but i am still asking.

most of the screen is 22-25inch, yeah its the right size

[thekeemo]

24" for me is the MAX screen size I would use with 1080p

Exactly. But I dont see pixels on a 27" 1080p Display with 1m distance.

At around 27'' you start to see the pixels. The larger a screen is, the larger the pixels are.   (If they use the same resolution of course)

It means that it strikes the right balance between having a big screen and having a high pixel density. For example, to some people 27 inch 1080p monitors look grainy due to having a lower resolution on a larger screen (pixels are bigger),and a 21.5 inch 1080p screen looks sharp but is too small for most users. 24 inches balances a sharp image with a workable size

I say so yeah. In fact if you do the math, 1080p 24 inch is virtually the same ppi than 1440p 27 inch which is also fairly common, 91 vs 108ppi

Thought it was something like that.  Thank You.

For me the sweet spot for 1080p (for desktops) is like 22". For laptops like 15.

Soo it would almost look like 1440p on a 27" screen?

Yeah everything would look as sharp, just 3 inches less of it.

Awesome!  Thanks for the info.

1080p with a 24" display looks nice if you sit atleast like 15cm from the monitor and not pixelated I guess.. Even with my terrible TN panel (cause 144hz) it looks nice. And personally I don't like larger monitors for personal and gaming reasons.

Personally, I felt 22" is the best. 100PPI is perfect for reading from normal sitting position. I can probably tolerate until 120 ppi, but not higher.

24 is where you should be

Yeah, but in laptops you also have to consider the keyboard and portability and yeah I would say max 16inch for a laptop otherwise it will lose it's portability.
