27 inch 1080p monitor or 27 inch 1440p monitor running in 1080p

I'm currently really confused which monitor should I go with. I've been using 27 inch 1080p for like a year and half now and 81PPI doesn't bother me at all, I never seen any visible pixels unless I get extremely close to my monitor and getting 24 inch monitor feels like a downgrade to me. The reason why i'm confused is because many people say 1080p on 27 inch monitor looks ugly but since I never experienced 27 inch 1440p myself I can't tell any difference and why i'm hesitating into getting 27 inch 1440p is because not every game can run at above 60FPS on max settings at that resolution yet and I'm the guy who hate it when games run under 60FPS.

 

So here's my question, how terrible does 1080p resolution looks on 1440p monitor compared to 27 inch 1080p monitor? Should I buy 1440p monitor and run it on 1080p or just get 1080p monitor?

 

These are the monitor that I think I might buy because i'm into graphic designing as well and they good good response time and decent colour accuracy.

I much prefer 1440p at 27". You will probably notice a difference and will never want to go back. You'll have to turn game settings down to get back up to 60fps, but it's not quite as heavy as 4k. 

Why are you upgrading from your current monitor?

Sorry for late reply! I'm upgrading my current monitor is because I've been getting strange horizontal bars on my current monitor

Well if you're not planning to upgrade your graphics card any time soon then 1080p is probably a safer bet as far as framerates go. To truly take advantage of either monitor you'll probably need to upgrade the graphics card eventually anyway, since 1440p and 240hz are both a lot more demanding than 1080p60. If framerates are really your thing then there's no reason not to get the 1080p monitor.
