Upgrading from a 22" to a 24" or 27" monitor

[haikalizz]

I was planning on possibly upgrading my current monitor I use for my laptop from a 22" to something 24" - 27" since there's a huge sale at a local online marketplace here. The thing is the 27" that are on sale are all 1920x1080 and I believe it wouldn't look that good vs 1920x1080 on a 24". So after some reading on rtings, I narrowed my options to 3. Which is the LG Ultra Gear 24GN600, a Samsung 27 Odyssey G3 LF27G33TFWEXXM, or a Gigabyte G24F. Is it worth upgrading to any of any 3 of this from my current 22" AOC one?

Those are gaming monitors so it really depends on what your laptop is. But as a general rule I would stick to a minimum of 1440P for 27" monitors as at 1080p, you can really make out the outlines of each pixel your typical viewing distance.

The physical size of the monitor with no specified viewing distance has no bearing on the image quality.

My rough estimate viewing distance is around 17 inches or around 40cm. My bad.

Yeah, this what I've been told in general. Try to avoid 1080p for anything above 24"

again this rule wouldn't really be useful unless your chair / desk / monitor / and head were unable to move.

If you were selecting a monitor to go inside for example a cockpit in some sort of vehicle then the rule would be more applicable

I see, so if I took the larger one, I would see no discernible image difference with the smaller ones?

so long as the distance from your eyes to the physical screen can be varied then the physical size of the screen alone wouldn't have any effect on the image quality between two matching displays.

 

other factors such as the display tech being used or refresh rate or resolution will have far more effect on the image.

27" 1080p can look fine, if youre a good distance like 80-100cm...40cm is extremely close though. You'd definately notice the "aliasing"/blocking if you have decent vision. If you're going to stay sitting that close to your monitor then i'd go a 24" 1080p for the PPI, otherwise 27" 1440p.

I agree with everything people said up above; PPI/Viewing Distance (inches) is what matters.

 

That said, if you are buying a new 1080p display that is 20" or bigger, in 2022, I feel you are setting your money on fire.
