Someone please explain :

 

A 21" inch monitor has 1920x1080 native resolution but a 27" inch monitor also has 1920x1080 native resolution...How?

 

All it means is the 27" pixles are more spread out to cover the screen

 

Thats why an iPhone can have a 5.5" 1080p screen, and you can have a 50" 1080p TV...

 

Monitor size has NOTHING to do with resolution

And this website says : http://www.translatorscafe.com/cafe/EN/units-converter/typography/9-8/inch-pixel_(Y)/ .......1920 pixels = 20 inch. I am so confused..

Shocked? really? I thought it was pretty straight forward :P

 

What did you think happened? like a 32" 1080p TV and a 50" 1080p TV.. the 50" TV has less pixels per inch

If you use a pixel density calculator you can know just how many pixel are packed into various displays of various resolutions. Given your question, I've used Pixel Density Calculator to give you a figure of just how many pixels are packed into a 21.5" and 27" 1920x1080 display. Here are the results:

21.5" 1920x1080 Display

27" 1920x1080 Display

post-14986-0-30837600-1414418784.jpg

As you can see, the pixel density is quite decently high on a 21.5" 1080p monitor @ 102 PPI (Pixels Per Inch) but quite low on a 27" 1080p monitor at only 81 PPI. That's why most people usually opt for 27" monitors with a high resolution of 2560x1440, as the pixel density is a fair bit higher at almost 110 PPI, resulting in a much sharper and clearer picture that's much more pleasing to the eye.

So, if one was going to opt for a 27" monitor, it would be advisable to go for a higher res 2560x1440 one because it's just overall better, not to mention, you get much more desktop real estate to work with. ;)
