Loose image quality 24"-27" ?

Born_2_Kill_83 · 22 Jul 2012 at 19:29

Will I loose image quality if I move from a 24" to a 27" at the same 1920*1200/1080 res, I like things crisp and sharp and I sit quite close, I dont like seeing pixels.

Definitely not.

You might lose sharpness though.

It wont look as crisp or sharp. Less pixel density.

You'd want a 2560 x 1440 27" monitor, in my opinion.

Sticking with 1080p will give you more screen real estate without any extra demand on your graphics card for games, but as has been said, the pixel density is lower, so the image won't look quite as sharp.

Really? Can't do a simple copy and paste into a search engine?

that was cool.how did you do that?wasn't to hard

Couldn't you increase anti aliasing to hide having less pixels per inch?

Rofl, seems like we've entered the redneck section of ocuk.

I just took the 24" 1920x1200 to 27" 1920x1080 jump. Honestly, you don't see pixels. You get slightly less desktop space, and text is bigger (which is a good thing imo, with higher resolutions text is too small these days)... but aside from that I actually prefer the 16:9 aspect ratio!

At work I still have a 24" 1920x1200 screen, and honestly it's like night and day...my 27" 120hz monitor is simply a substantially nicer screen! I don't feel like I'm seeing chunky pixels each time I go home to browse/play games.

With that said, perhaps if I was comparing this screen to a 1440p one I'd think differently...but compared to a 24" 1200p screen it's not bad at all

Also you can't get any 120hz 1440p screens yet (unless you overclock one of those korean monitors, from what I gather they're IPS and have much higher input latency).

It sounds like your eyesight isn't too good. I've got somewhat bad eyesight and I could see the pixels on my 24" monitors without having my nose pressed against the screen.

It seems like you're comparing either a cheap, or an old 24" monitor to your new 27" one.

A 2560x1440 is a huge step up from 1920x1080/1200. Those Korean ones are IPS, but they have very little to no input latency.
