27 Inch vs 24 Inch

[Hiro Hamada]

Hi guys

I've been hitting google with the question what monitor is better for gaming and I found out that 27 inch will have a blurry pixel density at 1080p but the correct pixel density would be at 24 inch monitor.

 

Now if I buy a 27 inch monitor will I even notice that difference? Can I go for a 27 inch gaming monitor?

I like the look of the 24 inch for 1080p personally,

24 inch = 1920x1080p

27 inch = 2560x1440p

 

This is the most optimal configuration for pixel density, now if you want a well priced great gaming experience immersive and all I actually recommend a 29 inch 2560x1080p ultrawide.

I just wish there are more 24" 1440p monitors. I like that ppi for it. Sadly everyone are making oversized ultrawides.

Even in 24" (23,8") 2560x1440 makes a huge difference having more than 1080p. and is way sharper with more space to work with. I have both (Dell U2414H + Acer XB241YU. Had Dell S2417dg before here too, also a VERY good pricing) in front of me, 23,8" x2. One is 1080p, other 1440p. I would go for 1440p again at this size (<70cm for me).

It's just... at 24" the size vs. viewing distance is okay, so that 1080p is still fine. But still, 1440p is visibly better. Since i use the 1080p one for Browser + tools + steam chat only~ while gaming, sometimes youtube/videos, i would prefer 2560x1440 here, so i can fit more windows on the screen.

 

But at 27" yea, 1440p and above, i really wouldn't get 1080p here, unless you sit 100-120cm away from it or even more, while at the same time your budget is soooooo limited, that you really can't afford 1440p.
