Is 27" to big for 1080p?

Is 27" to big for 1080p?

I use GTX970 and I think it wont run good on 1440p.

So is it worth it to grab 27" or 24" for 1080p?

[Flight1sim]

yea imo it's too big

[Syntaxvgm]

anything above 23 inches is past the 1080p sweet spot for me. For a TV, different story. 

[arnavvr]

24" Get a 1440 for 27

[JAKEBAB]

Yep unless your sitting heaps far away or you like play from a couch but sitting at your desk it's too big.

[STRMfrmXMN]

27" is what I call my 1440p sweet spot. 36" or above would be 4K on a monitor. I dunno about TVs.

[The Great Sayain Man]

Yeah the ppi at 27 inches is too low. 

[Mindaugasinas]

But I'm so used to play on 40" tv and I afraid that 24" might look to small for me. As a desktop monitor now I use 19" and for therd person games I use TV. In the stores is so hard to judge the monitor size because off all these lights and stuff...

i own a 24'' 1080p for gaming and everyday i wish i'd spent the few extra $$ for a 27''...IMHO 24'' is too small when i play racing sim the screen feel too small behind my wheel...next upgrade for me is 1440p 27'' though which i think is the real sweet spot.

[Mindaugasinas]

Who else have 24" monitor? I would like to know your experience and thoughts on it. I use my monitor only for fps games and coding.

[Nup]

Yeah I agree, 27 inch 1080p is now kinda dead, seeing how easy it is to get good 1440p ones at that size.

No.

 

Its only MORE comfortable to use for desktop.

 

And in games you DSR/VSR it up to 2160p, which will look what real 1440p would look like.

What do you mean?

[Guest Strangerbob]

What do you mean?

 

Higher resolution means all icons and EVERYTHING is smaller. For example if you had 2160p on a 23" monitor text would be so small you would not be able to read it.

That is obvious. But the topic's point is different.

I was talking about either to get 27" 1080p monitor or 24" 1080p monitor, since GTX970 isn't strong enough for 1440p.

I have a 28" 1080p monitor and I love it, absolutely no problem with it. I guess people have different levels of tolerance, so your best bet would be to find a store with those displays and see for yourself.

I have a sensitive eyes and even on my 19" 1366x768 monitor from a normal siting distance I see the gaps between pixels, and I hate it

I'm just saying... If you read this Forum back through and replace the word Monitor with Penis, you're gonna have a good time.

I would ALWAYS choose a 27" 1080p panel over a 24".  Here's why.

The main gaming 24" panels all use the same AU Optronics panel: the M240HW01 V8.  The Asus VG248QE, the older non blur reduction  Benq XL2411T, XL2420TE, XL2420TX, and the newer benq blur reduction models XL2411Z, XL2420Z, and maybe the XL2430T (not to be confused with the older T series) use this panel.

 

This panel has an issue where the gamma point drops as the refresh rate increases, washing out the image greatly.  On these panels, Gamma 2.2 at 60 hz refresh rate drops down to a washed out 1.9 at 144 hz refresh rate.  The VG248QE does not have OSD gamma adjustments, but the Benq monitors (starting with the newer revision of the pre blur reduction T series, and the blur reduction type Z series) have an OSD gamma adjustment to compensate for this, somewhat.  Not sure if this also compensates for the color point changing.or not or if that still needs ICC profiles, but the gamma degrading and the color tone dropping off at higher refresh rates is an issue with choosing a 24" 1080p panel.

 

 

The Benq XL2720Z uses the M270HTN01.0 panel.. This panel DOES NOT DEGRADE IN GAMMA whatsoever when you increase the refresh rate.  2.2 gamma at 60 hz remains 2.2 gamma at 144 hz, although the gamma curve across the brightness levels does not remain flat; an icc profile can correct for this, although this remains basically the same point regardless of refresh rate.  Gamma 4 in the OSD puts the gamma closest to the 2.2 point than gamma 3.  Color also does not seem to degrade either.  This panel keeping the exact same gamma regardless of refresh rate is something all reviews completely overlooked when discussing 27" or 24" panels.  The gamma and color balance remaining spot on is a huge benefit of buying a 27" 1080p 2720Z.

 

Can't speak for other 27" 1080p panels, however.

Version 4 firmware on the 2720Z (and the other Z models) tons down the aggressive overdrive and adds a hidden blur reduction AMA setting which makes things look much better than the V2 firmware does, especially when you lower the contrast (this is required if using the new AMA setting, as inverse ghosting is removed, at the cost of normal ghosting being increased).

 

So I would choose the 27" 1080p over the 24", any day.

And I have two VG248QE's so I know how it drops gamma and loses fidelity massively.
