Pixel Density 1440p?

[Memories4K]

So, i'm a little confused.

I see a lot of people getting 27" monitors in 1440p (I've seen even 24" 4K monitors)

So, my question is if 1440p on anything less than 30" is enjoyable.

For both gaming and productivity work, since the dpi/ppi would be around 108 for just a 27" 1440p monitor.

 

I'm considering moving up to 1440p, but i'm coming from a 24" 1080p monitor

I'm pretty sure the usefulness of 1440p in any specific situation also depends on how far away from it you are planning to sit.

I have a 27inch 1080P montior. its honestly just fine. granted I have a large desk, so Im almost 3 feet away. but no matter how hard i strain my eyes I cant see the pixels. Granted there be a improvement going to 1440P, 1080P is absolutely fine. so 1440P at this size would be awesome. 

 

 

this is someone who can tell the diffrence between 720P and 1080P on smartphones.

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: yes, but...

~109 ppi with 27" 1440p

~92 ppi with 24" 1080p

Now 18% increase in pixel density doesn't seem like much, but it is. There's much more screen real estate (nearly twice the amount of pixels), everything looks sharper, and games are more immersive imo (bigger monitor, jaggies aren't as distracting, etc).

1440p is noticeable better then 1080p at 27inches, its a much sharper image. however 1080p is serviceable if you don't sit too close eg 3 feet plus.

But smaller monitors, you can up the AA and take less of a performance hit, so it sort of cancels out that way.

But would you recommend for someone to get a 27" 1440p monitor or somewhere around 30-32"?  (dpi/ppi is 98-92)

I'll be sitting away probably as much as my 1080p monitor, depending on if the screen size isn't so big to where i have to turn my head just to view one corner of the screen.

I also have a 27" 1440p and would not get anything with much higher dpi, unless ui scaling becomes a thing. I think this is the sweet spot for me.

 

If you can read text fine on your current monitor, you should have no issues with a 27" 1440p.

Doesn't look as good though.

I have a 28" monitor and it's borderline too big and I sit maybe a foot and a half away (half a meter), so I'm not sure how you would fare with a 30-32" display.

Alright, thank you for your replies.

It seems most people don't have a problem with a 27" 1440p display.
