24 or 27 monitor?

[DannagE]

I've been thinking about this same thing for weeks.

Its come down to this. 24/27" @ 1080p will run fine on my current rig and gfx card for a while longer. 27" @ 1440p would need me to upgrade my gfx card to run sweetly with 144hz.

Plus it looks like its going to be a premium for the ROG monitor with G-sync.

~£290 for the BenQ XL2420Z on deals of the week. ~£330 for the 27" version.
~£500+ for the ROG SWIFT PG278Q, +~£500 for 780ti.

Looks like a no brainer for me. Maybe the same for you?..

I don't understand the point of 27-30" monitors. Bigger is not always better. I personally sit about 10 inches away from my monitor. What would be the point in having a massive 30" monitor that close to my face ? Perhaps im missing something

I sit around a meter to a meter an a half away from mines so it helps
Also, sometimes I use the beanbag which is 2-3meters away and found that 24" was just too small.
