Dot pitch question - going from 19" to 27"

[OCdude]

So i'm in the market for a new monitor, my current (crappy) BenQ FP92Wa is on its way out so i'm looking at getting a 120Hz 27" Samsung.

One question I have, is regarding pixel pitch/dot pitch

Current monitor: 1440x900 (19") = 0.28 dot pitch
Samsung: 1920x1080 (27") = 0.31 dot pitch

Does that (in theory) mean that the pixel density of the newer monitor is less, and will therefore potentially look less crisp and "blockier" when looking at fine text etc?

I'm sure there are lots of other factors to consider, that affect this, so if anyone could reassure me that it's not going to look blockier when I upgrade, i'd appreciate it

Thanks

In theory yes, but you will appreciate the screen real estate more, and lets face it are you going to notice the difference between 0.28 and 0.31?

Go 2560x1440 for 27". Unless you aren't bothered about 1080 being blockier on it.

Hmm well the thing is, i want 120Hz so i don't really have a choice when it comes to resolution
