What is your take on 1080p vs 1440p at 27-inches debate? (Also, I failed to mention in the video, both monitors were set to 60Hz, even though they can both go higher) Is console gaming on a 1440p monitor good or bad? Check out this video: th-cam.com/video/5j_PpF8NUqk/w-d-xo.html
It's kinda funny how in the "text is razor-sharp in 1440p", in the examples shown, the text looks literally exactly the same down to a pixel, because (as is evident with the Premiere example), you've left the 1440p monitor at 100% scaling in Windows, so the effect is completely lost when you compare them like this at the same pixel size.
@@vigilant545 Depends on what you consider the real effect. Going from 1080p to 1440p can have two outcomes (provided you compare the same size displays, otherwise it obviously gets more complicated). If you leave the scaling at 100%, more stuff will fit on your screen, because everything will be smaller (since there's more pixels, but 1 "desktop/virtual" pixel is still 1 pixel large, so to speak). So text will not look any sharper (and especially not when you compare it pixel to pixel like it's done in this video, since it's literally identical in that way), not really, but you'll have more screen real estate available and fit more text on the screen. If you set the scaling to let's say 125%, roughly the same amount of stuff will fit on your screen (because your desktop will effectively be "zoomed in" 25%). So text will look smoother and sharper, because to get the same size of text, there's now more pixels to draw the letters/curves with. At the same time, bitmap images/icons will look slightly worse and blurred, with less detail, because they will effectively get blown up and since they're bitmaps, they can't be enlarged easily without quality loss. Hope I'm not making it more confusing ;)
Honestly, i'm coming from a Dell S2817q (4K TN 60hz 28 inches) to an Alienware AW2720HF (1080p 240hz 27 inches) and i stand about 60-70 cm from the monitor, the difference is slightly sharp and it doesn't even bother me, but after reading a lot of "27 inch is too much for 1080p" i've found this video and totally agreed with it. Of course there is a HUGE difference if you stand really close to your monitor, but if you stay relatively far like me you will be fine. I changed the monitors to play some games like Valorant, CS:GO and Fortnite. The difference in the FPS in those games are pretty much the same, since any calculator can run those (except for Fortnite, that i've gained around 80 FPS).
Just upgraded to a BenQ EW 2780 from a 22" 1080p Dell and for general purpose usage, the reduced ppi does not bother me AT ALL. My eyes are definitely not the best, maybe that's the reason why I don't see the difference/doesn't bother me. But the massive jump in the screen space is absolutely breathtaking. For gaming, net surfing, reading and movies, I have no issues with 27"(1080p) screens.
Same. I'm using BenQ GW2785TC from last 2 years, it is 27 inch 1080 resolution, and never had a problem. The text is so crisp and the colors are really good. I'm a software engineer and deal with graphic design too to design my apps before coding them. Never had problems that they are discussing in the video.
I made the switch from a 1080p to a 1440p and I can say I will never go back. I use my computer for everything ranging from gaming to work, so the increase in PPI is huge for me. I have the Acer Predator XB271HUA, and while on the expensive side, is hands down the best purchase I’ve made in a very long time.
Does watching videos on your 1440p monitor on 1080 resolution look blurry or anything like that? I want a 1440 monitor but not sure on how it will affect watching anything that only offers a lower resolution
@@horizon1234510 So, I actually had this thought when I was upgrading. I can say I haven’t noticed any “degradation” when watching let’s say 1080p TH-cam videos or even 720p for that matter. Even Netflix looks good on my monitor. However, I recently just picked up a 4K TV for my bedroom from Prime Day and have seen that it does look blurry when watching TH-cam or Netflix. All in all though, at 1440p, you’ll be fine because the pixel difference isn’t really that much of a difference compared to 4K. If you’re looking for a 1440p monitor, I’d be more than happy to suggest a few that I really like!
@@chris977s thanks for your reply !! I was worried that watching videos or anything below a 1440 monitor would look bad , thanks for clearing that up ! And yes I’d take any suggestion for a good monitor , my preference would be a 27 inch curved and 144 hz. Do u know anything about the viotek gnv27DB QHD monitor ?
@@horizon1234510 No problem! Yes, I actually looked into the non curved version of this monitor. While Viotek certainly is a great option, I've seen some complaints about getting DOA monitors and some complaints on their customer service. My girlfriend got the MSI Optix MAG27CQ about 4 months ago and she loves it. It's a great curved monitor and is the same price as the Viotek. So for the same money I personally feel you get more features and also a little bit better spec wise. So check out the MSI monitor and compare the two
I currently have a 27in 1440p 144hz monitor and for me the benefit of high refresh rates paired with high frames is more than the ppi so I am considering replacing it with a 1080p model. The density is not very noticeable in games and I’m tired of needing ever more increasingly expensive gpus to drive 1440p especially with RT or some of these new and unoptimized games.
I used a 21 inch 1440x900 TN 60hz monitor from 2006 to 2014 that's when i made the jump to a 24 inch 1080p 60hz IPS display and i was blown away. I've used that monitor between 2014 and 2019, i kept the resolution at 1080p and jumped to 144hz, but the display was VA and curved, though i was impressed by the smoothness and fluidity of the monitor i missed the IPS color quality. A few days ago i upgraded to a 27 inch 1440p 170hz IPS display and i am super happy with this new monitor (the new Gigabyte M27Q), i have a ryzen 5 3600, 16gb ddr4 RAM and a GTX 1080 that still performs really well at 1440p.
This video just sealed the deal for me. I was just confused about this. I mostly use for work stuff which you covered briefly but precisely. I will go for a 24 inch 1080p, since my usage will be mostly doc and remote connection work because of the wfh scenario presently. I tried to use the a bigger screen for this purpose and my eyes strained like hell with the pixels being seen at close sitting range. Cheers man.
I had the same doubt for choosing between 1080p 24" or 27" monitor as i do the same wfh and mostly use for work not related to game or video..so it was nice that you explained well..thanks
It's a totally personal opinion for everyone. I moved from 22" 1080p to 27" 1440p and my workflow is better than ever. Docs, Excel sheets, autocad, Solidworks and my free time is gaming
1080p in a 27inch monitor is just enough! nothing more nothing less enough for your pocket enough for your eyesight and enough for your everyday usage without worrying too much for your wallet and and quality of life!😁
I feel like it defeats the purpose if you have to scale text because pixel density makes it smaller. It's like increasing the distance to the monitor, so I would prefer to just sit farther back and have more room on my desk (by putting to monitor further from me).
Ive gotten very used to the 1080p and dont notice it unless I actually look for individual pixels. I sit about 28 inches away from my monitor so I dont notice. And when youre watching movies, videos, or playing games, you wont notice at all.
You wont notice till you play on a friends pc and realize that 1440p is just... better. Ive been gaming 1080 24" for years but i played warzone on a buddies 1440p 27 inch and it was just better
1440p is for gamers imo. Helps with the sharpness in games and gets rid of rough edges on things far away. Definitely not for your average pc user just doing light work.
I had a 1440p tn panel and swapped it for the benq ex2510, a 25 inch ips panel at 1080p. I use it for gaming and admin, writing and research/study. In gaming I notice it in highly detailed games, but not in others. 25 inch is a great size for me. All in all i am happy. I got fed up of having everyone bang on about 1440p and seeing the price of the gpus you need to power it in modern games compared to 1080p.
@@Eric_Von_Yesselstyn the landscape today is very different from two years ago when this comment was written. Two years ago we were dealing with crypto mining/COVID related price hikes etc. Yes 1440 would be what I chose now. My 1449p screen was tn panel today's are much nicer
5 days with 2k (Acer Nitro VG270UPbmiipx 27\ 144hz) after 2 years with FHD (75) gave me incradible experince in everything! The answer is easy even if you will not see pixels the general picture is great!
I just bought a Samsung 27" 1080p monitor and I was expecting it to be way worse based on what others were saying. I primarily work in a DAW (Reason) and it is fine. I hadn't ever had anything bigger than a 16" laptop screen up to that point.
text is way too small on a 27" 1440p. It's the same PPI as 1080p on a 20.5" monitor. you can scale it but windows scaling isn't very good and then you're just paying for extra real estate that you're not getting. so you're paying more money for slightly sharper text and a monitor that's harder to drive if you're playing games. the visual improvements in gaming going 1440p vs 1080p are also pretty marginal relative to the framerate you lose. even if your rig can drive everything today, that 1440p monitor will drag you down in a few years when you're trying to run newer games.
@@SeanLazer nothing, it's still function properly, I've been using this monitor (acer kg271c) for almost 2 years, for gaming only so no problem with it but i do want to try IPS panel, My current monitor is slightly brighter on the bottom part than the upper part, also I don't think my system can't handle 1440p in the long run so I guess I'll stick to 1080p
Just upgraded from 1080p to 1440p and everything looks better. Sharper on desktop but gaming wise the difference is very noticeable. Played assassins creed origins and the experience is much better. More vibrant colours, objects and buildings in the distance look crisper sharper and more realistic . Now use my 1080p in portrait next to my 1440. I have better than 20/20 vision so maybe I would notice the difference more
I bought myself 27 inch that has 1440p but when I play single player games I like to put monitor settings on 1080p because I get more stable fps on very high graphics quality. I agree it's not unusable. Even I was scared of that, but fine to use 1080p on 27 inches monitor.
It does help (based on my common knowledge), which is why I'm here looking for the same answer. I'd guess that once it reaches a certain distance you would be able to tell.
@@bradleyhenry2411 aw. 1080 it is then ...I am going to keep it at least 144hz, any strong opinions concerning getting a curved 1080 outside of it being IPS? Its goong to be at least 27 inch or above. I am curious to know how bad the difference is with 1080 outside of non native, cuz I just dont find it necessary to make my system work so hard for so long/marathon gaming. Thank u so much
I was about to just get the 1440 and exchange it for 1080 if the results were that bad because i was having trouble finding specific answers. Thanks again
@@Tyler.O I find if you're going to 27", you might as well go 1440p. 1080p monitors look best at 25" and below. I've never actually tried a curved monitor, but have been looking at them for some time now.
Bro would you choose 24" 1080p screen or a 27" 1080p for text based work if the specs are similar and prices are only about 15--20% different and you're on a budget?
Im playing only e-sports fps games, i have 1080p 27" 72hz monitor so im used to 27" 1080p. I want to buy 1080p 27" 165hz monitor but i know that same monitor with 24" will work better. Do you think me changing 27" to 24" will be downgrade and it will be hard for me to play good? Or maybe better choose that 27" 1080p
My monitor is a BenQ. It's a 24" , GL2450, 1080. It's not perfect, but it does, though I can see myself upgrading it in a year or two time. So thank you for the info. :)
I cant do 1080p anymore. It started after using my 4k tv as a gamin monitor. I got a HD 27 inch montior i got years ago, used it without to attention to much attention on pixels (tho i noticed it) before i got used to glorious native 4k big screen experience. I used my tv for some time, but 60hz is, well... 60hz. So, i decided to get a new dedicated pc monitor again, plan was to go for a good ultra wide, but came over msi 1440p screen for a ok price. And sick of 60hz, i got it... I got it connected, at first glance at desktop i knew something was wrong.. Then i see it, i got wrong screen. Got the 1080p ver instead of 1440p ver.. 1440p is better, for a decent monitor.. At least when its 27inch.. And even a 1440p 27 inch, my big 4k 60hz screen beats its when it comes to clarity, and well. expect refresh rate. Everything else, HDR, better color, tho black isnt that much better.. And if you got a polaris-pascal series, i would get a 1440p monitor at this point. That screen will be good for some time, if you dont buy a monitor that sucks. One thing i miss is HDR, but feel its to expensive. And rather upgrade cpu, etc. But if you can, HDR is very nice. I can always use my 4k monitor for HDR games if i feel the need. Even after years, experience sitting close to that screen, native 4k with HDR can blow me away. xD
Thanks for the comment! I agree with HDR. It can make a big difference if done right and the monitor has proper support. That's kind of the issue right now: many monitors have lackluster HDR. You need to end spending the big bucks on a monitor to get the best HDR experience. And even then, you have to deal with Windows 10's horrible implementation of it.
The problem is, that it depends on what you're used to. Whenever your eyes get used to a higher resolution, it's hard to go back. I recently bought a 24" FHD Monitor (1080 = 92ppi) and after being used to 4K 27" monitors (163ppi) and higher resolution Surface Pro screens: this new monitor is horribly unsharp. I've never seen 1440 on a 27" monitor (109ppi) but I doubt it will be "crisp and razor sharp", especially text. - Assumed your eye-sight is good enough. :)
Hi, i mainly do programming (60%), movie and games ( 40%), i sit around 50cm from monitor, what should i currently buy? 27inch or 24 inch 1080p? (1440 out of budget)
Watching this on a 1080p screen “they look the same.” Watching this on a 1440p screen “1080p looks much worse than it does on a native 1080p screen.” Giving you a completely false impression. Also at 27 inches (1080p) it looks sharper if your not sat with your face touching the screen. A good quality “native 1080p monitor” can provide a better visual experience than a average 1440p monitor. I have a Asus Rog Swift TN monitor, 1440p and there’s many newer monitors that look better in 1080p today. The only thing missing from a great 1080p image is distance detail and there’s more to a great image than this alone! Don’t be fooled by the bullshit!
@@meppo6781 That’s depending on how far you from the screen (or how big the screen is). True 1080p, on a native 1080p monitor at 24” - 27” is not much worst than 1440p, Yes I’m saying this! Take a 24” 1080p monitor, with great colour, contrast and brightness levels, it can look much better than a low-end 1440p monitor. Resolution isn’t everything! For gaming you need to look at ghosting, response times and many other factors. Because the image will be in motion most of the time and if it’s lacking in these things the resolution will be in vain. It’ll just look like a blurry mess. To see the differences you really need to have them side by side. This is why most “hardcore gamers” would take 1080p with higher frames, over resolution. But then even this is down to what type of games your into.
@@meppo6781 Yes, IF your viewing it on a 1440p monitor. You need a “native 1080p resolution monitor” to view 1080p content clearly, otherwise it will look all blurry. 1080p look nice and sharp on a 1080p monitor ONLY! That’s one other the points I was originally trying to make.
So my PC can run 1440p, but not full at 144fps on some games, so would I benefit from getting a 1440p monitor or go with a 27in 1080p 144hz monitor? I'm literally like 1.2ft away from the monitor.
@Jordon Tong my PC can't hit 144fps in most games at 1440p either, but due to things like g-sync and freesync it's not an issue for me. I'd say go with the 1440p monitor if you can afford it and if you know it supports either NVIDIA's G-Sync or AMD's Freesynce technology.
I set custom resolution for playing games my gpu gtx 1070 cant handle newer AAA games it can run at console like fps in high detail but i prefer to use custom resolution and adding sharpening via control panel great visual + good fps although not good as 1080p fps
Many thanks for the excellent practical advice. Since Apple finally offered an upgrade worth the cost, I'm about to update my 2012 Mac mini with one of the new Mac mini M2 Pros. It makes sense to replace one of my two displays and I'd like that to be a 27". In my case being post-forty, while sharp text is a plus, my vision is no longer sharp. Even the sharpest text gets blurred. I need both larger and sharper. I wonder if I need to go with a low-end 4K.
Thank you for the video! We're trying to decide between 1080p (69 ppi ) or 1440p (92 ppi ) for 32" monitors on a triple setup. It will only be used for a racing simulator with view distance of 24" approximately. The GPU is an Nvidia RTX 2080Ti. Future proof is important so if some sims can't run 1440p x 3 then we don't mind reducing to 1080p on the 1440p monitors. In order to reduce costs the 32" will be IPS, FreeSync, 75Hz, 4ms. Since fps won't be able to get much higher than 75 fps so 75Hz doesn't bother us too much and will only be used a couple of hours a day and more on the weekends. Do you think the 1440p 32" based on our setup is the better choice?
apparently 27 inches are too pixelated. I have a 32 inch tv being used as a monitor and its hella pixelated when coding so you wouldn't want to use that. If you can try getting dual 24 inch monitor/ If not I'd still recommend getting the smaller 24 inch and getting another one in the future
What should I choose for CS2 >>>> 1080p 27 inch AOC 144hz , or ViewSonic 27 inch 1080p 165 hz , or after watching this video should I go to 24 inch 1080p or it doesn't really matter if I play E-sport games and want to do a headshots in long distances ?
Thanks, now the question is which budget monitor has good looking text ? Cause i want it for programming and reading pdf books, I'm stuck my budget is under 500$ and im looking for good monitor since a week now most of them are expensive, can you please guys help me
I looking for a new monitor and im not sure what to get, but im sure of what it will not be and thats 1080p 27" i chose betwien 1440p or 4K and 27/28" or 32" why are it any monitor that are 29/30" thats could be ideal...
I'm currently in the process of building my new Gaming/Workstation PC, complete setup in fact. I needed a monitor which is suitable for all kinds of work. When I started searching I came to know about different kinds of panels - TN, VA and IPS which made things too confusing, though after a while I was convinced I want an IPS but in my region there were very less options in 1080p IPS. Then I stumbled upon BenQ EX2780Q and I was intrigued! It was significantly more expensive than a 1080p but I knew it was worth it. It also has great sounding speakers something I wanted in my monitor. I don't regret spending money on this simple, elegant feature-rich beauty. For now I'm using it with my notebook as I'm waiting on the new graphics card. My notebook has a 2GB Nvidia mobile GPU so I don't think pixel sharpness at 1440p is as good as it should be. I'm sure I'll get the best experience on my new Gaming PC. Thanks for this video, glad I made a good choice. One thing I'd like to ask is the monitor shows 4K resolution too even though it is a 1440p panel. I googled it and it turns out that some companies use 4K panels in their 1440p monitors as they're cheaper to manufacture. Then they lock the 4K resolution on the firmware which means 1440p here is a downscale. Did you notice any irregularity at 1440p on your monitor compared to a native 1440p?
I subscribed because you have charisma while explaining stuff and not just someone pretending to know something when in reality you don't. Thank you for bringing us this video.
I personally don't feel 4K is worth it at the size. The performance hit is so substantial that I don't think it's currently worth it unless a game has something like DLSS.
Hello is there a visible different between a 24 and 27 inch monitor on fhd? I bought a 27 fhd 240hz monitor. 240hz at wqhd is way to expensive and I have a wqhd 70hz Monitor as second and I hope I won’t see an extrem different.
I would say the difference is not that big of a deal. For a 27in 1080p 240 hertz I would recommend the LG UltraGear 27GN750-B. I really like how the colors look out of the box and it has HDR support.
upgraded from a Sceptre C24 1080p 144hz to an LG Ultragear 27in 1440p 144hz monitor. differencr is night and day, unfortunately im rocking an RTX 2060 laptop so i can get 144fps in 1440p on new games.but still worth it. i usually play @ 1440p 80fps
My dilemma is this. I have a 23" 1080 right now. Text is getting harder to read in the last year or so and my eyesight is getting progressively worse. I watch all TV and movies on my PC sometimes with videos often at 720p? Will it be an improvement for me to switch to a 27" 1440? Will the 720p videos still be clear and will text be any easier to read?
Text will if anything become harder to read. 23" 1080p has around a 91 PPI, 27" 1440p has 108 PPI, this means that in general text is going to appear quite smaller

I've just changed from a 1080p ASUS 24" monitor running at 60Hz refresh rate to the ASUS VA27EHF 27" at 1080p running at 100Hz refresh rate and it's great! I do not see individual pixels like a lot of people and video reviews on TH-cam suggest. So I would say it actually depends on the brand and the monitor. So if you think 1080p is bad on a 27" monitor try the ASUS VA27EHF. It's also budget friendly at around the $150AU mark. It also has a lot of great features and a six star energy rating. I love this monitor. I play games (it's much better than the 24") and deal with documents as well as edit and view photos and videos. Streaming video from Netflix is also great and I have no problems with viewing pixels. I must admit I was real worried when I watched various videos on TH-cam about the pixel density problem but I need not have been concerned. This monitor is great.
Hi! thanks so much for your video. It's been a GREAT help! Question? I have an original Nvidia Geforce GT 710 and I wanted to know if this card can handle say, the BenQ PD2700Q 1440 monitor? Can you help me out on this question? THANKS!!!
hi, sorry for bothering you, but i have a question/ rather dilema: which is better for playing and watching movie, etc. (not for working tho :D), the 25" TN monitor (i have now Asus VG258QR) or some 27" IPS? I will explain: i have been on NEC EA232WMi IPS monitor and everything was fine, but just fine ( only with 60 FPS, no GSYNC...). Then i have upgraded to ASUS and since then i have a weird feeling about this. Maybe it is TN technology itself or the pixel density of this monitor.. that causing the suspension of disbelief in games or films (feels like i see actually the screen/ pixels rather the content of the screen). It is hard to describe. So I will think to buy again some IPS monitor with a high refresh rate.. which should i get to playing in 1440p ( if i get 27") or in some expensive/ RTX games in 1080p/60fps? Do you recommend the setup of two IPS monitors (1440p/ 27", 1080p/25") or only one 27" IPS? Can only one monitor setup do the same job? It is able 1440p 27" monitor with a game in lower resolution 1080p on it visually looks the same as on 25" monitor with black bars (aspect ratio the same as 25" monitor - without stretching on full screen)? If it can i will buy only one monitor as a replacement for ASUS for a higher price otherwise i must split the money between two monitors. Anyways i look forward to your replies, recommendation, etc. guys. Thank you and have a good day ;).
Hi, i want to buy new monitor for lots of video editing, after effects work, graphic editing and gaming too. I have 20" monitor now.

Hey buddy, you seem to have a ton of experience with monitors, can you give me a hand? I can't wrap my head around this... I really like the 27-inch display size as my main display for productivity --coding, taking notes with my graphic tablet, and watching educational videos--. Because of that, I would like to have a monitor that complements the 27-inch display...Which resolution would you recommend for the 27-inch display, and which monitor size and resolution would you recommend as a complementing display for the 27-inch display? I was thinking of going 27 at 4k plus a 24 at 1080p Appreciate your suggestions! PS: I don’t do gaming at all!
24" at 1080p monitor has 93PPI depth and 27" at 1440p monitor has 108PPI depth... So theoretically it's definitely better to have higher ppi... But in real life scenario there is not so much gain...
Which is better 27 inch 240hz with 1080p ( lg 27gn750 ) Or 27 inch 144hz with 1440p ( lg 27GL850 ) Both are at same close price . I will appreciate any suggestions... Its like goku feeling in dbz majin buu saga for me....speed or bulky body If i go for 240hz i have to compromise @1080p If i go for @1440p i have to compromise 144hz .... So much confused....its speed vs quality for me here. i just know i want a 27inch and nothing else
It depends what you care about more frames or graphics, for example if you play say fortnite or something like that you’ll want frames but if you play say a game that’s slower and more about graphics like gta or forza then got for 1440 p

It have both a DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0b. I believe the DP will achieve the 165hz while the HDMI 144hz. I don't need to invest that much b/c I am just a casual gamer, hence my choices are either the AOC 24G2SP or the MSI G2412. I am not considering 27" because I read that at 1080p isn't as good in pixel and not as fast compared to the 24-25". Please give me your recommendation on which of the two monitors to buy. Sorry I'm not that knowledgeable. My old external monitor is a samsung 60hz only and I really wanted to upgrade.
Little bit late to the party but would you say that 1440p 32 inch monitor is good middle ground? Just wondering what monitor to get next, still torn between 1440p 27 inch and 1440p 32 inch, viewing distance somewhere between 2-3 feet. Oh and both are 144Hz, will be used on gaming and school stuff
Hello, I have a laptop with a Intel i7-1065G7 CPU @ 1.30GHz that has Intel(R) Iris(R) Plus Graphics, do you think i can use a 1440p monitor with a 144hz refresh rate, or should I stick with a 1080p monitor at 60-75hz instead?
Hi Brad. I'm in dilemma on this issue for almost week now. I want to upgrade my monitor as I did do some upgrade to my PC, I bought i5-10400 with ASUS Strix RTX 2060 Super. I can't decide which monitor would be best for me, either 27" 1440p or 24" 1080p, both with high Hz. My old monitor are 24" 1080p and only with 60Hz. I'm not hardcore or too competitive gamer, and I'm usually do use my PC for multimedia like watching movies, doing some Photo editing, would you recommend me, what's monitor that actually will work perfectly or well for my current specs, really appreciate your answer.
Honestly, any 1080p monitor will look great at 2 feet away. The Optix Mag273r looks to have really great specs however I don’t have experience with it. I don’t think you can go wrong with it, though.
I have my PS5 with my new tv and can enable a maximum 2160 x 3840 at 120Hz, with VRR. However I can not access the new "hyped up" 1440p at 120Hz. Will I still have a decent enough quality game play with what I have? Please help, this subject rarely gets touched upon..
If you’re doing 3840 x 2160 (4k) at 120Hz with VRR, then you’re good to go and will have the best experience from the PS5. 1440p won’t get you a better experience on the PS5 and VRR isn’t currently supported at that resolution on the PS5 either. 1440p was mainly added for those using 1440p gaming monitors with their PS5, which quite a few would only accept 1080p resolution which is far from ideal when using a PS5. The main reason for all the hype surrounding the addition of a 1440p output mode is that people have been begging Sony for it for a while. But if you’re already at 4k 120Hz with VRR on your display, then there’s no reason to drop down to 1440p. You won’t gain any performance from doing so or anything like that
@@HomeTheaterGamer Well, you my friend have finally answered a question I've tried to get a straight answer from in a hell of a long time. Thankyou so much👍👍
i just bought acer xv272u 1440p 27inch monitor for about $302. the other option i had was a 1080p monitor same specs just lower resolution and it was about $168. But in thw 1440p one i was getting height adjustible + pivot stand and 4 usb 3.o io .
For each application/ program you have to go to Properties -> Compatibility -> Change high DPI settings -> Override high DPI scaling behaviuor. At the end you'll end up throwing anything beyond 1080p due to Windows scaling issues. (Win 11 might have that fixed but i doubt it)
I bought a 27 inch 1440p AOC monitor mostly for work in Oil industry. Dealing with the map of a wellbore is better than my 23.8 inch 1080p monitor but the massive improvement was when I read an entire 7 year lawsuit, all filings, all written arguments, briefs by interested parties and friends of the court in one sitting. My eyes would have bled with my 1080p 24 inch monitor at 2 feet. Games and videos aren't really better at 1440p. If you have time to notice the clarity that much, you aren't gaming, you are a tourist. I blame modern games, all spectacle or twitch reflex, not much in between.
Well done bro.. I do mostly text editing based work.. would it make any difference on the text pixelation ff you're sitting 4 feet away from both the 1080p and 1440p 27 incher?
You say text is Sharp, but tinier, Okay, you can fix it playing with windows Scaling, but what about ingame fonts? Windows Scaling doesnt override ingame fonts, so a people with eyesight problems would prefer bigger fonts than crispy ones = less fatigue at contrary what you say, but off course it's from your eyes perspective.
HI - Very helpful video! I just picked up a FHD 32 inch curved monitor. Love it, but also a big mistake. FHD at 32 inch is terrible for general use. Everything is huge and still cant fit much on the screen. I was happy with my prior 24 inch FHD. So, if I get a different 34 inch curved, should I get a 2K or 4K? Which would be the closest to my old 24 inch FHD, as far as fonts, etc keeping their same actual size and clarity? THANKS!
32 inch 2K is the same pixel size in your case. I went from a 1920x1200 24 inch (Dell U2410) to a 31.5 inch 2K monitor (Gigabyte G32QC). The pixels are close to the same size on both monitors.
Im in a dilemma in choosing a monitor for the xbox series S between the LG 27GL650F-B.AWZ or the SAMSUNG LU28R550UQLMZD 28”. Although the Samsung is 60hz it's 4k and the LG is 1080 but 144hz... is there much difference in image quality ? I think 60fps is pretty good for consoles but the possibility on running 120fps is putting me in such a dilemma, could anyone help me? i also intend on using it as a 2nd monitor in my imac mid 2011 for photoshop editing.
I don't have experience with that monitor, but 1080p at 27 inches is fine as long as you're more than a foot away from the screen. If you have a compatible NVIDIA GPU then getting a gysnc compatible monitor is the only way to go, in my opinion.
Ive been using the asus vg278 for a while now and since i play fps and not very immersive single player games it doesnt bother me too much. When it comes to csgo or siege i usually have it stretched to 1280x1024 anyway
Yeah. There are many things to consider and it’s there’s no clear-cut answer. Budget, visual acuity and how powerful your PC is all have to be looked at and considered.
Hi, I am a programmer and mainly use my monitor for watching TH-cam videos, writing documents, and programming. I sit 20-25cm away from the computer for approximately 10 hours a day(But with a lot of breaks in between). I am currently looking at Dell SE2719HR which is a 27 inch 1080p monitor. I am worried this will cause strain to my eyes during extended usage. Do you think I should go for it? Budget is tight, but I am willing to go for the higher end if the benefits far outweigh the consequences.
At that distance, you’re better off going with a 1440p monitor as at 1080p it will definitely be blurry and eye straining over the course of 10 hours, even with lots of breaks. And since you’re dealing with text and code a lot, 1440p will be a lot sharper.
Got the LG 27GL650F-B. Its 27 at 1080p. My buddy has a 4k PG27UQ. Its higher than 1440p but I also have a 60hz 27" 1440p monitor. The difference in clarity is less noticeable probably because the IPS Panel of my 1080p monitor was made in consideration of the lower pixel density at 27, but I would upgrade to 1440p or 4k on anything above a 24 the very DAY it becomes more mainstream and affordable. Not worth spending $1k on a monitor tbh. maybe 600-700, but thats a huge reach too.
I use reg TV monitors like roku but this is my first game monitor I got on black Friday it's a curve 27in QHD. 1080p 240hz asus tuf for $180 I really wanted the 1440p but they were still pricy so il have to save up
What is your take on 1080p vs 1440p at 27-inches debate? (Also, I failed to mention in the video, both monitors were set to 60Hz, even though they can both go higher)
Is console gaming on a 1440p monitor good or bad? Check out this video: th-cam.com/video/5j_PpF8NUqk/w-d-xo.html

It's kinda funny how in the "text is razor-sharp in 1440p", in the examples shown, the text looks literally exactly the same down to a pixel, because (as is evident with the Premiere example), you've left the 1440p monitor at 100% scaling in Windows, so the effect is completely lost when you compare them like this at the same pixel size.
I'm a noob at this. So you need 125% scaling for the real effect?
@@vigilant545 Depends on what you consider the real effect. Going from 1080p to 1440p can have two outcomes (provided you compare the same size displays, otherwise it obviously gets more complicated).
If you leave the scaling at 100%, more stuff will fit on your screen, because everything will be smaller (since there's more pixels, but 1 "desktop/virtual" pixel is still 1 pixel large, so to speak). So text will not look any sharper (and especially not when you compare it pixel to pixel like it's done in this video, since it's literally identical in that way), not really, but you'll have more screen real estate available and fit more text on the screen.
If you set the scaling to let's say 125%, roughly the same amount of stuff will fit on your screen (because your desktop will effectively be "zoomed in" 25%). So text will look smoother and sharper, because to get the same size of text, there's now more pixels to draw the letters/curves with. At the same time, bitmap images/icons will look slightly worse and blurred, with less detail, because they will effectively get blown up and since they're bitmaps, they can't be enlarged easily without quality loss.
Hope I'm not making it more confusing ;)
@@Case_ Thanks, makes sense!
Thanks man appreciate the help. I was super confused because could see literally 0 difference lol
I couldn't agree more. Text in the examples look exactly the same. There is nothing "razor-sharp" about the 1440p example.
Honestly, i'm coming from a Dell S2817q (4K TN 60hz 28 inches) to an Alienware AW2720HF (1080p 240hz 27 inches) and i stand about 60-70 cm from the monitor, the difference is slightly sharp and it doesn't even bother me, but after reading a lot of "27 inch is too much for 1080p" i've found this video and totally agreed with it. Of course there is a HUGE difference if you stand really close to your monitor, but if you stay relatively far like me you will be fine. I changed the monitors to play some games like Valorant, CS:GO and Fortnite. The difference in the FPS in those games are pretty much the same, since any calculator can run those (except for Fortnite, that i've gained around 80 FPS).
Just upgraded to a BenQ EW 2780 from a 22" 1080p Dell and for general purpose usage, the reduced ppi does not bother me AT ALL.
My eyes are definitely not the best, maybe that's the reason why I don't see the difference/doesn't bother me.
But the massive jump in the screen space is absolutely breathtaking.
For gaming, net surfing, reading and movies, I have no issues with 27"(1080p) screens.
Thanks for the sharing. I consider to buy 1080 too
Thank you so much for sharing your opinion
I bought a 1080p 27" and i was worried but yeah i suffer from astigmatism so i think it's cool
@@nghtwanderr Honestly the one time when it comes in handy. Everything looks blurry so 1080p looks fine.
@@nghtwanderr Do you feel pixelation? How far are you sitting?
Same. I'm using BenQ GW2785TC from last 2 years, it is 27 inch 1080 resolution, and never had a problem. The text is so crisp and the colors are really good. I'm a software engineer and deal with graphic design too to design my apps before coding them. Never had problems that they are discussing in the video.
I made the switch from a 1080p to a 1440p and I can say I will never go back. I use my computer for everything ranging from gaming to work, so the increase in PPI is huge for me. I have the Acer Predator XB271HUA, and while on the expensive side, is hands down the best purchase I’ve made in a very long time.
Does watching videos on your 1440p monitor on 1080 resolution look blurry or anything like that? I want a 1440 monitor but not sure on how it will affect watching anything that only offers a lower resolution
@@horizon1234510 So, I actually had this thought when I was upgrading. I can say I haven’t noticed any “degradation” when watching let’s say 1080p TH-cam videos or even 720p for that matter. Even Netflix looks good on my monitor.
However, I recently just picked up a 4K TV for my bedroom from Prime Day and have seen that it does look blurry when watching TH-cam or Netflix.
All in all though, at 1440p, you’ll be fine because the pixel difference isn’t really that much of a difference compared to 4K. If you’re looking for a 1440p monitor, I’d be more than happy to suggest a few that I really like!
@@chris977s thanks for your reply !! I was worried that watching videos or anything below a 1440 monitor would look bad , thanks for clearing that up ! And yes I’d take any suggestion for a good monitor , my preference would be a 27 inch curved and 144 hz. Do u know anything about the viotek gnv27DB QHD monitor ?
@@horizon1234510 No problem! Yes, I actually looked into the non curved version of this monitor. While Viotek certainly is a great option, I've seen some complaints about getting DOA monitors and some complaints on their customer service. My girlfriend got the MSI Optix MAG27CQ about 4 months ago and she loves it. It's a great curved monitor and is the same price as the Viotek. So for the same money I personally feel you get more features and also a little bit better spec wise. So check out the MSI monitor and compare the two
@@chris977s I definitely will thanks so much for your advice ! I will be getting my first gaming P.C. today so advice was well needed !
I currently have a 27in 1440p 144hz monitor and for me the benefit of high refresh rates paired with high frames is more than the ppi so I am considering replacing it with a 1080p model. The density is not very noticeable in games and I’m tired of needing ever more increasingly expensive gpus to drive 1440p especially with RT or some of these new and unoptimized games.
Could you just set down the in game resolution to 1080p?
@@user-lr6hw4dq4t Why would you do that if theres dlss thats far better than lowering resolution?
I used a 21 inch 1440x900 TN 60hz monitor from 2006 to 2014 that's when i made the jump to a 24 inch 1080p 60hz IPS display and i was blown away. I've used that monitor between 2014 and 2019, i kept the resolution at 1080p and jumped to 144hz, but the display was VA and curved, though i was impressed by the smoothness and fluidity of the monitor i missed the IPS color quality. A few days ago i upgraded to a 27 inch 1440p 170hz IPS display and i am super happy with this new monitor (the new Gigabyte M27Q), i have a ryzen 5 3600, 16gb ddr4 RAM and a GTX 1080 that still performs really well at 1440p.
This video just sealed the deal for me. I was just confused about this. I mostly use for work stuff which you covered briefly but precisely. I will go for a 24 inch 1080p, since my usage will be mostly doc and remote connection work because of the wfh scenario presently. I tried to use the a bigger screen for this purpose and my eyes strained like hell with the pixels being seen at close sitting range. Cheers man.
Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching!
I had the same doubt for choosing between 1080p 24" or 27" monitor as i do the same wfh and mostly use for work not related to game or video..so it was nice that you explained well..thanks
It's a totally personal opinion for everyone. I moved from 22" 1080p to 27" 1440p and my workflow is better than ever.
Docs, Excel sheets, autocad, Solidworks and my free time is gaming
1080p in a 27inch monitor is just enough! nothing more nothing less
enough for your pocket
enough for your eyesight
and enough for your everyday usage without worrying too much for your wallet and and quality of life!😁
27 - 1080p dual monitor setup is super for general use. Easy to read from long distance. Like very long. AOC 27G2 is cool.
Indeed it is!
I feel like it defeats the purpose if you have to scale text because pixel density makes it smaller. It's like increasing the distance to the monitor, so I would prefer to just sit farther back and have more room on my desk (by putting to monitor further from me).
Ive gotten very used to the 1080p and dont notice it unless I actually look for individual pixels. I sit about 28 inches away from my monitor so I dont notice. And when youre watching movies, videos, or playing games, you wont notice at all.
You wont notice till you play on a friends pc and realize that 1440p is just... better. Ive been gaming 1080 24" for years but i played warzone on a buddies 1440p 27 inch and it was just better

I had a 1440p tn panel and swapped it for the benq ex2510, a 25 inch ips panel at 1080p. I use it for gaming and admin, writing and research/study.

I just bought a Samsung 27" 1080p monitor and I was expecting it to be way worse based on what others were saying. I primarily work in a DAW (Reason) and it is fine. I hadn't ever had anything bigger than a 16" laptop screen up to that point.
Opposite for me, reading text has been a struggle. I wouldn't have picked this size screen had I knew.
text is way too small on a 27" 1440p. It's the same PPI as 1080p on a 20.5" monitor. you can scale it but windows scaling isn't very good and then you're just paying for extra real estate that you're not getting. so you're paying more money for slightly sharper text and a monitor that's harder to drive if you're playing games. the visual improvements in gaming going 1440p vs 1080p are also pretty marginal relative to the framerate you lose. even if your rig can drive everything today, that 1440p monitor will drag you down in a few years when you're trying to run newer games.

I bought myself 27 inch that has 1440p but when I play single player games I like to put monitor settings on 1080p because I get more stable fps on very high graphics quality. I agree it's not unusable. Even I was scared of that, but fine to use 1080p on 27 inches monitor.
What happens if you put the 27 inches 1080p monitor a little further away from your sight? Doesn't that cover the issue with the pixel density a bit?

I cant do 1080p anymore. It started after using my 4k tv as a gamin monitor. I got a HD 27 inch montior i got years ago, used it without to attention to much attention on pixels (tho i noticed it) before i got used to glorious native 4k big screen experience. I used my tv for some time, but 60hz is, well... 60hz. So, i decided to get a new dedicated pc monitor again, plan was to go for a good ultra wide, but came over msi 1440p screen for a ok price. And sick of 60hz, i got it... I got it connected, at first glance at desktop i knew something was wrong.. Then i see it, i got wrong screen. Got the 1080p ver instead of 1440p ver.. 1440p is better, for a decent monitor.. At least when its 27inch.. And even a 1440p 27 inch, my big 4k 60hz screen beats its when it comes to clarity, and well. expect refresh rate. Everything else, HDR, better color, tho black isnt that much better.. And if you got a polaris-pascal series, i would get a 1440p monitor at this point. That screen will be good for some time, if you dont buy a monitor that sucks. One thing i miss is HDR, but feel its to expensive. And rather upgrade cpu, etc. But if you can, HDR is very nice. I can always use my 4k monitor for HDR games if i feel the need. Even after years, experience sitting close to that screen, native 4k with HDR can blow me away. xD
Thanks for the comment! I agree with HDR. It can make a big difference if done right and the monitor has proper support. That's kind of the issue right now: many monitors have lackluster HDR. You need to end spending the big bucks on a monitor to get the best HDR experience. And even then, you have to deal with Windows 10's horrible implementation of it.
So if i suffer from astigmatism the 27 1080pwould be cool?
The problem is, that it depends on what you're used to. Whenever your eyes get used to a higher resolution, it's hard to go back.

Take a 24” 1080p monitor, with great colour, contrast and brightness levels, it can look much better than a low-end 1440p monitor. Resolution isn’t everything!
For gaming you need to look at ghosting, response times and many other factors. Because the image will be in motion most of the time and if it’s lacking in these things the resolution will be in vain.
It’ll just look like a blurry mess.
To see the differences you really need to have them side by side. This is why most “hardcore gamers” would take 1080p with higher frames, over resolution.
But then even this is down to what type of games your into.

He showed me how a 27 inch would look like with 1080p and the difference is huge.
@@meppo6781 Yes, IF your viewing it on a 1440p monitor. You need a “native 1080p resolution monitor” to view 1080p content clearly, otherwise it will look all blurry.
1080p look nice and sharp on a 1080p monitor ONLY! That’s one other the points I was originally trying to make.
I updated yesterday to 1440p because of the ppi of the 1080p display ... it was way to low tbh

So my PC can run 1440p, but not full at 144fps on some games, so would I benefit from getting a 1440p monitor or go with a 27in 1080p 144hz monitor? I'm literally like 1.2ft away from the monitor.
@Jordon Tong my PC can't hit 144fps in most games at 1440p either, but due to things like g-sync and freesync it's not an issue for me. I'd say go with the 1440p monitor if you can afford it and if you know it supports either NVIDIA's G-Sync or AMD's Freesynce technology.
you can always downscale a 1440p to 1080p :p

Many thanks for the excellent practical advice. Since Apple finally offered an upgrade worth the cost, I'm about to update my 2012 Mac mini with one of the new Mac mini M2 Pros. It makes sense to replace one of my two displays and I'd like that to be a 27". In my case being post-forty, while sharp text is a plus, my vision is no longer sharp. Even the sharpest text gets blurred. I need both larger and sharper. I wonder if I need to go with a low-end 4K.

Thank you for the video! We're trying to decide between 1080p (69 ppi ) or 1440p (92 ppi ) for 32" monitors on a triple setup. It will only be used for a racing simulator with view distance of 24" approximately. The GPU is an Nvidia RTX 2080Ti. Future proof is important so if some sims can't run 1440p x 3 then we don't mind reducing to 1080p on the 1440p monitors. In order to reduce costs the 32" will be IPS, FreeSync, 75Hz, 4ms. Since fps won't be able to get much higher than 75 fps so 75Hz doesn't bother us too much and will only be used a couple of hours a day and more on the weekends. Do you think the 1440p 32" based on our setup is the better choice?
to be honest I've not seen the difference unless you lean into the screen and squint your eyes to deliberately see pixels
I can see the difference from like 5 feet away

I am confused between a 24 inch and 27-inch 1080p monitor. I will use it only for consuming content and doing coding. Which one should I go for?
apparently 27 inches are too pixelated. I have a 32 inch tv being used as a monitor and its hella pixelated when coding so you wouldn't want to use that. If you can try getting dual 24 inch monitor/ If not I'd still recommend getting the smaller 24 inch and getting another one in the future
When you say sharper text and sharper image, what do you mean? Could you give similar words as to what that means?
Not the video we deserved, but the video we needed.
What should I choose for CS2 >>>> 1080p 27 inch AOC 144hz , or ViewSonic 27 inch 1080p 165 hz , or after watching this video should I go to 24 inch 1080p or it doesn't really matter if I play E-sport games and want to do a headshots in long distances ?
Thanks, now the question is which budget monitor has good looking text ? Cause i want it for programming and reading pdf books, I'm stuck my budget is under 500$ and im looking for good monitor since a week now most of them are expensive, can you please guys help me
I looking for a new monitor and im not sure what to get, but im sure of what it will not be and thats 1080p 27" i chose betwien 1440p or 4K and 27/28" or 32" why are it any monitor that are 29/30" thats could be ideal...
I'm currently in the process of building my new Gaming/Workstation PC, complete setup in fact. I needed a monitor which is suitable for all kinds of work. When I started searching I came to know about different kinds of panels - TN, VA and IPS which made things too confusing, though after a while I was convinced I want an IPS but in my region there were very less options in 1080p IPS.
Then I stumbled upon BenQ EX2780Q and I was intrigued! It was significantly more expensive than a 1080p but I knew it was worth it. It also has great sounding speakers something I wanted in my monitor. I don't regret spending money on this simple, elegant feature-rich beauty.
For now I'm using it with my notebook as I'm waiting on the new graphics card. My notebook has a 2GB Nvidia mobile GPU so I don't think pixel sharpness at 1440p is as good as it should be. I'm sure I'll get the best experience on my new Gaming PC. Thanks for this video, glad I made a good choice. One thing I'd like to ask is the monitor shows 4K resolution too even though it is a 1440p panel. I googled it and it turns out that some companies use 4K panels in their 1440p monitors as they're cheaper to manufacture. Then they lock the 4K resolution on the firmware which means 1440p here is a downscale.
Did you notice any irregularity at 1440p on your monitor compared to a native 1440p?
Hi, your explanation is awesome, how about a 1080p 27" and using DLDSR to make it 1440p display? is using native 1440p is better?
I subscribed because you have charisma while explaining stuff and not just someone pretending to know something when in reality you don't. Thank you for bringing us this video.
You have gained karma
What about 1440p vs 4k in the same (27'') size? Is it really that different sharpness wise and worth the performance hit?
I personally don't feel 4K is worth it at the size. The performance hit is so substantial that I don't think it's currently worth it unless a game has something like DLSS.
Hello is there a visible different between a 24 and 27 inch monitor on fhd? I bought a 27 fhd 240hz monitor. 240hz at wqhd is way to expensive and I have a wqhd 70hz Monitor as second and I hope I won’t see an extrem different.
I would say the difference is not that big of a deal. For a 27in 1080p 240 hertz I would recommend the LG UltraGear 27GN750-B. I really like how the colors look out of the box and it has HDR support.

My dilemma is this. I have a 23" 1080 right now. Text is getting harder to read in the last year or so and my eyesight is getting progressively worse. I watch all TV and movies on my PC sometimes with videos often at 720p? Will it be an improvement for me to switch to a 27" 1440? Will the 720p videos still be clear and will text be any easier to read?
Text will if anything become harder to read. 23" 1080p has around a 91 PPI, 27" 1440p has 108 PPI, this means that in general text is going to appear quite smaller

I've just changed from a 1080p ASUS 24" monitor running at 60Hz refresh rate to the ASUS VA27EHF 27" at 1080p running at 100Hz refresh rate and it's great! I do not see individual pixels like a lot of people and video reviews on TH-cam suggest. So I would say it actually depends on the brand and the monitor. So if you think 1080p is bad on a 27" monitor try the ASUS VA27EHF.
It's also budget friendly at around the $150AU mark. It also has a lot of great features and a six star energy rating.
I love this monitor. I play games (it's much better than the 24") and deal with documents as well as edit and view photos and videos. Streaming video from Netflix is also great and I have no problems with viewing pixels. I must admit I was real worried when I watched various videos on TH-cam about the pixel density problem but I need not have been concerned. This monitor is great.

Hi! thanks so much for your video. It's been a GREAT help! Question? I have an original Nvidia Geforce GT 710 and I wanted to know if this card can handle say, the BenQ PD2700Q 1440 monitor? Can you help me out on this question? THANKS!!!
hi, sorry for bothering you, but i have a question/ rather dilema: which is better for playing and watching movie, etc. (not for working tho :D), the 25" TN monitor (i have now Asus VG258QR) or some 27" IPS? I will explain: i have been on NEC EA232WMi IPS monitor and everything was fine, but just fine ( only with 60 FPS, no GSYNC...). Then i have upgraded to ASUS and since then i have a weird feeling about this. Maybe it is TN technology itself or the pixel density of this monitor.. that causing the suspension of disbelief in games or films (feels like i see actually the screen/ pixels rather the content of the screen). It is hard to describe. So I will think to buy again some IPS monitor with a high refresh rate.. which should i get to playing in 1440p ( if i get 27") or in some expensive/ RTX games in 1080p/60fps? Do you recommend the setup of two IPS monitors (1440p/ 27", 1080p/25") or only one 27" IPS? Can only one monitor setup do the same job? It is able 1440p 27" monitor with a game in lower resolution 1080p on it visually looks the same as on 25" monitor with black bars (aspect ratio the same as 25" monitor - without stretching on full screen)? If it can i will buy only one monitor as a replacement for ASUS for a higher price otherwise i must split the money between two monitors. Anyways i look forward to your replies, recommendation, etc. guys. Thank you and have a good day ;).

Very Nice video I'm glad i found your channel. But what if i have 24" monitor 1080p is it as good as 27" 1440p?

I would like to buy a monitor for my work and gaming needs. For work, it doesn't matter b/c I am a project manager, it's my gaming needs which I need to be certain. I play steam's squad which is a FPS, mil-sim, tactical in one. I am using an Asus G14 Ryzen 9, RTX 2060 Max-Q, 14-inch Matte IPS LCD, 1,920 x 1080, Adaptive Sync at 120Hz. It have both a DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0b. I believe the DP will achieve the 165hz while the HDMI 144hz.
I don't need to invest that much b/c I am just a casual gamer, hence my choices are either the AOC 24G2SP or the MSI G2412. I am not considering 27" because I read that at 1080p isn't as good in pixel and not as fast compared to the 24-25". Please give me your recommendation on which of the two monitors to buy.
Sorry I'm not that knowledgeable. My old external monitor is a samsung 60hz only and I really wanted to upgrade.

Hi Brad. I'm in dilemma on this issue for almost week now. I want to upgrade my monitor as I did do some upgrade to my PC, I bought i5-10400 with ASUS Strix RTX 2060 Super. I can't decide which monitor would be best for me, either 27" 1440p or 24" 1080p, both with high Hz. My old monitor are 24" 1080p and only with 60Hz. I'm not hardcore or too competitive gamer, and I'm usually do use my PC for multimedia like watching movies, doing some Photo editing, would you recommend me, what's monitor that actually will work perfectly or well for my current specs, really appreciate your answer.

Would you recommend the MSI optix mag273r 27inch 1080 for sitting about 2 feet away
Honestly, any 1080p monitor will look great at 2 feet away. The Optix Mag273r looks to have really great specs however I don’t have experience with it. I don’t think you can go wrong with it, though.
I have my PS5 with my new tv and can enable a maximum 2160 x 3840 at 120Hz, with VRR. However I can not access the new "hyped up" 1440p at 120Hz. Will I still have a decent enough quality game play with what I have? Please help, this subject rarely gets touched upon..
If you’re doing 3840 x 2160 (4k) at 120Hz with VRR, then you’re good to go and will have the best experience from the PS5. 1440p won’t get you a better experience on the PS5 and VRR isn’t currently supported at that resolution on the PS5 either. 1440p was mainly added for those using 1440p gaming monitors with their PS5, which quite a few would only accept 1080p resolution which is far from ideal when using a PS5.
The main reason for all the hype surrounding the addition of a 1440p output mode is that people have been begging Sony for it for a while. But if you’re already at 4k 120Hz with VRR on your display, then there’s no reason to drop down to 1440p. You won’t gain any performance from doing so or anything like that

do u know how to fix the problem with things being blurry when using 27inch 1440p with 125% display scaling
For each application/ program you have to go to Properties -> Compatibility -> Change high DPI settings -> Override high DPI scaling behaviuor. At the end you'll end up throwing anything beyond 1080p due to Windows scaling issues. (Win 11 might have that fixed but i doubt it)

HI - Very helpful video! I just picked up a FHD 32 inch curved monitor. Love it, but also a big mistake. FHD at 32 inch is terrible for general use.

Which would be the closest to my old 24 inch FHD, as far as fonts, etc keeping their same actual size and clarity? THANKS!
32 inch 2K is the same pixel size in your case. I went from a 1920x1200 24 inch (Dell U2410) to a 31.5 inch 2K monitor (Gigabyte G32QC). The pixels are close to the same size on both monitors.

Hi, I am a programmer and mainly use my monitor for watching TH-cam videos, writing documents, and programming. I sit 20-25cm away from the computer for approximately 10 hours a day(But with a lot of breaks in between). I am currently looking at Dell SE2719HR which is a 27 inch 1080p monitor. I am worried this will cause strain to my eyes during extended usage. Do you think I should go for it? Budget is tight, but I am willing to go for the higher end if the benefits far outweigh the consequences.
At that distance, you’re better off going with a 1440p monitor as at 1080p it will definitely be blurry and eye straining over the course of 10 hours, even with lots of breaks. And since you’re dealing with text and code a lot, 1440p will be a lot sharper.

Got the LG 27GL650F-B. Its 27 at 1080p. My buddy has a 4k PG27UQ. Its higher than 1440p but I also have a 60hz 27" 1440p monitor. The difference in clarity is less noticeable probably because the IPS Panel of my 1080p monitor was made in consideration of the lower pixel density at 27, but I would upgrade to 1440p or 4k on anything above a 24 the very DAY it becomes more mainstream and affordable. Not worth spending $1k on a monitor tbh. maybe 600-700, but thats a huge reach too.
