24 inch monitor resolution

[prwler]

Is it normal for a 24 inch display to be considerably less clear than a 22 inch monitor? Both have 1920x1080 resolutions. The larger monitor just looks much more pixelated. Should I return the 24 inch? Thanks.

Well it is the same resolution, just at a less pixels per inch, but I don't know about considerably big. Could you specify which monitor and maybe take a picture of them on side by side close up so the pixel density is visible?

Unfortunately, I can't take a picture of the two right now, but it is definitely noticeable.

A 22" monitor would look slightly sharper up close than the 24" up close but I would not think it is noticeable at a normal desktop viewing distance. Are you sure the 24" isn't running @ 720p (1280x720) resolution?

EDIT: How are each of them connected to the computer?

I'm positive they are both 1920x1080. The 22 inch is connected via DVI, the 24 inch via HDMI. I'll post a picture of the two side by side as soon as I can (probably some time tomorrow afternoon).

24" is great for 1080p, you are probably sitting far too close to the screen. if that is the case then just remain at 22".
