Here a photo of my 27" 2560x1440 & 24" 1920x1200 monitors with a ocuk forum page dragged roughly half way between them to show the difference of desktop space used up between these two different Resolutions..

How do you feel about the smaller Pixel Pitch size on the 27", does it feel too small in office applications or in games? (I have normal eyesight)

Thanks for the comparison.

Perhaps you do another shot? Move the browser to one screen and then change the windows setup to duplicate the displays? That way, you can get a like for like comparison.

Thanks.

same ? . was thinking about a 27 monitor. but i have bad eyesight

I have normal eyesight and can read stuff on the 27" no problem. Regardless, you can make text bigger in Windows.

Thanks for the comparison.

Don't duplicate displays need to be the same resolution? If so it would be kind of a pointless test.

Am guessing this is what you wanted

Web page dragged to edge of the screen so it uses half of the screen

The text did feel far to small when I first upgraded from my 24" U2410 ,but after a few days you get used to it..

But now am used to it the text/font size on the 27" feels fine and the text/font on the 24" looks to big ;)
