27", 1920/1080 Monitor

Yushi95

Hello,

Currently I have a 21" 1920/1080 monitor. I have the windows scaling set to 125%.

I would like to get a bigger monitor and want to know if 27" 1920/1080 would be good.
I've looking online abit and they say 1080 might be a little bit low for 27" since of low DPI or PPI, but I'm wondering if it makes any difference that I currently have 21.5" but scaling to 125%.

If I would get a 27" 1080 monitor and set the scaling to 100%, is the clearness/blurryness similar to 21.5" 125% scaling?

I checked that my 21.5" 1080p has 102.46 PPI and a 27" 1080p monitor would have 81.59 PPI but I'm unsure if scaling has any effect.

Just would like a bigger monitor for gaming/videos while having the same sharpess for text as my 21" 1080p 125% currently has.

27" 1080p isn't great you are better off with a 1440p, scaling doesnt affect it

27 is too big for 1080.

 

24" for 1080 is the sweet spot

Though getting used to it is like curved vs uncurved;  VA vs TN vs IPS etc.

I'm used to 27" FullHD and not missing much. I've used/seen 1440p and 4k it's all about knowing what you want and getting used to...

It's about pixel density, the picture will just look worse due to it

I know. But also 24" 4K looks bad imo.  Even if scaling the OS GUI elements.

As I've said I've seen a good 1440p but after getting used to a 1080p I'm not missing it. I know, maybe an unpopular opinion...

Why are you so warried about the scaling, I have a 15.6 screen and I use 125% scaling. normal windows 10 was devoleped when 1080 was the high end resulotion , and there were still a decent amount of 480 monitors, so if you any HD resulotion youll need scaling.

I was just wondering if scaling would change the sharpess/blurryness thus making 27" 100% similar to 21.5" 125%

I wish I could go to some store and see it myself, but alot of stores are currently closes here or have strict rules thanks ty covid :/
