1440p 27" vs 1080p 24" looks basically the same.

[David27]

I've used 23.8", 27", and 31.5", all 1440p. I prefer the sharpness of the 23.8", it's really great. No scaling needed, contrary to what some people say online, very easy to read and I don't even have the best eyes. The 27" is more immersive for single player games and movies, not as sharp, but the higher detail is still noticeable from 1080p. Once you go 1440p 23.8" or 27", you can't go back, it's game changing, more than refresh rate over 75hz. Much better gaming experience.
I sold the 31.5", that's where it looks basically the same as 1080p. It makes no sense for a PC monitor, imo. Too big to use at an arm's length and even a little more, you need to move your eyes and head a lot, why have a bigger monitor if you're just going to sit further away. Also, PPI is the same as 1080p 24", so no point in having a higher resolution.

imho 1080 22-24 is the sweet spot
not blury
and bigger moniters are annyoign

Correct.

The calculation here is Pixels Per Inch, or PPI.

A 1080/24in model has 92 PPI or so
A 1440/27in has just over a hundred.

Pixels Per Inch PPI Calculator

PPI Calculator finds pixels per inch (PPI) and pixels per square inch (PPI^2). Calculate screen resolution and pixel density using width and height of display screen in pixels. Also find dot pitch and diagonal in pixels. Enter screen diagonal in inches or cm.

You can check any size/res here. Ppi relates to the ability of the human eye to discern detail and around 100 is suited for ergonomic viewing distance with mainstream diagonals/ office work use case while not being butt ugly.

Going higher in PPI will increase your tendency to 'crawl into your screen' as you work harder to distinguish detail.

you actually should be using 23.8" as your calculation vs 27" - all the 23" modern IPS 1080p panels are 23.8" not 24"

its not much but it does change the density a little.

I can tell the difference between 27" 1440p and 23.8" 1080p, but only barely. I like having the extra 20-30 frames in games at 1080p most of the time, but if a game is capped to say 60 or FFX which is capped at 30, then I will do 4k TV for those games.

I just went from a Samsung C24F390FHR 1080p to an HP 27mq Quad HD 1440p a few days ago because I dropped my Samsung and fubar'd it.
I definitely could see a difference in picture quality despite the increase in screen size, but not as much as I'd hoped for.
That combined with the drop in fps , finding going back to a flat screen harder on my eyes, the display being too bright in a dark room, the added weight with it being LCD (I have to move it to use it as my pc is in our living room and no obviously that isn't working out to well for me ) means that I am now looking forward to my new Samsung C24F390FHR arriving between 2pm and 4pm today and the hp will be going back tomorrow.
Probably more to do with the monitor itself but I'll be glad to get back to 24" 1980p later on today.

1440p feels like a 1080p replacement for 27" and above.

which is why i am glad my 32" monitor can run at 3k (2880x1620) instead of 2.5k (2560x1440p) which is quite actually a decent resolution without any AA needed for 60hz on my current setup

4K does not interest me 2.5k was a 75hz sweetspot for my ageing 1070 but 1620p60 feels same same as 1440p75 (tried higher refresh rate but nope ... i must be defective ... i see no gain above 100hz and between that and 75hz not much either unlike from 30 to 60)

i have a 27" Philips at 1080p hooked on a computer it feels well, not good, but used with my Mi Box S just for Youtube and iptv it's fine ... i wonder why
(ah i may be because that one is a TN and the 32" is an IPS )

I went from 24" 1080 to 32" 1440p.
I never compared them side by side, but the picture quality (from memory) tends to feel similar. The big difference between the two types of monitor really was the higher refresh rate.

1080p monitor was 60Hz
1440p monitor can be 165/120/60Hz (I've got it set to 120), plus the use of FreeSync is on.

Things feel smoother and look smoother on the new monitor.

Well i went from 1080 on a 32" to 1440 on a dell S2721DGF and i am very happy. I think it may even have the same panel as your LG as it does use a LG nano ips.

 

[The red spirit]

I'm probably the only one, who has 1440p 24" screen here. Lower PPI just doesn't do it for me.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

I can't use a 24" screen whatever the res, it's just too small
