27" monitor for 1080p?

[Chowski14]

Hi I am looking for a new monitor. I have considered many, many options. Here is my part list and build so you know I can run the monitors I am considering. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/b/4WvV3C (I AM CANADIAN SO CURRENCIES ARE DIFFERENT). So I am looking to spend preferably less than $350 dollars on my monitor. I am also looking into a ps4 so I am highly considering the benq rl2755hm. However is 1080p too low of a resolution for a 27" monitor? Also I have to consider 144hz. Do I want/need it? I play games like league of legends and csgo. And on top of all of that i'd look into a second monitor because I like it for multi-tasking. So would 2 27"s be too much screen? I currently run 2 24" samsungs with 5ms response times and no vesa mounts. I just want to upgrade but I know I don't need some $750 dollar monitor because I am no pro and only in highschool. Just for basic gaming, netflix, streaming, and some editing.

to me a 27 should be 2560 x 1440 to me 1080p is too low

and the 27 at 1440p is great for productivity i can open 2 full width web pages side by side really useful

I got a beutiful acer monitor, 1080p, IPS, but at this size, you can notice some pixelation since you sit so close to the screen. I am SUPER happy with this super beutiful display and I do not believe it would be worth the extra cost to up the resolution. 120 HZ will be fine, mine is 60hz and I notice no difference from my old 144hz 24" monitor so do not pay way more for a higher hz. 120 is perfect

I use a 32" 1080, 25" away. No sde or moire. You won't have any issues with a 27"...

Not an issue just a personal preference, get picky but it is not even noticable.

Yes, it's preference. But a 1440p monitor is better at that size. Text can't look like print, though with ClearType it will on a 27" 1080. But in my opinion, 27" 1440 is too small. Text won't really be easy to read. All down to viewing distance though.

can read my text from further away than can type on my keyboard no problem on 27 1440p

i would suggest going into a pc store where you can actually look at running monitors to help you decide

Yes if you could do that it is best option, because this is personal preference.
