24 inch or 27 inch monitor?

[whiteknights]

hello guys .. i currently have a 23 inch monitor and i never used a 27 inch before ..i set 2 feet back from my monitor .. and now i'm between Two 1080p monitors , the first one is Asus VN248H 23.8 Inch .. and the second one is Asus VX279H 27 Inch AH-IPS .. so is 27 inch monitor @ 1080p worth it? .. i do browsing, gaming and movies.. what would you do if you were me?

27", the extra screen space comes in handy and great for videos/TV etc.....My main rig is a 32" and a 27" and I run DirecTv through the computer so can throw it up in a window on either screen or go full screen on either

thank you .. the thing that worrying me is that i always used 24" for the whole time, also i just set one-two feet back from my monitor, so i feel that the 27" will be over-sized to me, also it will have a smaller PPI .. i feel pixels are more accurate on 24" when it comes to 1080p.

Most good 24" and 27" are all 1920x1080 some better some worse

Upgrading from 23" to 24" does not make any sense if you ask me.

I recently moved from 22.5" to 27" after about 4 years (both Samsung). At first, I too was concerned that it was too big especially when I tried gaming on it for the first time. But then I very quickly wondered why I didn't upgrade much sooner. I was just blown away by the fidelity - even 1080p movies looked better.

Trust me, there's no such thing as too big... you'll get used to it in about 12 hours or so. Go for the 27".

I too sit about 1-2 ft away. 1 ft when I'm sniping
