32" 1440p or 27" 1440p

[Aura_Nightheart]

I'm currently trying to decide between the Samsung S32D850T and the Samsung S27D850T. I currently have a 27" 1080p monitor. Will 27" 1440p look almost too stretched? Will 32" be too big?

What monitor should I go for?

Owning a 27" 1440p IPS monitor, I can say that it looks perfectly fine!
32" is a good size for 1440p, I would even say that 34" ultrawides look good at 1440p to be honest.
What is your budget?
I can make a few different recommendations.
What specs do you have?

1440p doesn't look stretched at all on those monitor sizes, 1080p looks a bit stretched at 32" and above from what I have heard.

32" @1440p would be awesome, the bigger the better if you ask me.
34" Ultrawides are pretty amazing too, but the 32" 16:9 Will have a greater height. But the ultrawide will be wider.

Check this site out to see a representation of how big the monitors are.

I probably have a budget of about four to five hundred ish. Of course, lower is always better! (Not saying I want to cheap out though).

I have an i7-6700K, 16GB of 3000mhz RAM, and an ASUS Strix 1070 on an ASUS Z170 PRO/AURA motherboard. PSU is an EVGA G2 850W for any future upgrades (a ton of headroom). Also have a 2TB HDD and a 500GB SSD.

I would prefer monitors that have slimmer bezels and VESA mounting, but a good deal is a good deal.

If you can, kick out a little bit more for this.
It's an IPS 1440p 144hz display with great colors, but i'll also leave a TN variant if you want to save a bit.

So with a 6700K and a GTX 1070 it's definitely worth going for a 1440p 27" 144hz? (These monitors don't have G-Sync, only FreeSync. That'd probably be okay if I limit it to like 100 or something, though). Or would it be more worth going for a 32" 1440p?

Yep.
I don't know why you'd want to limit fps to 100 on a 144Hz display though.... :/
32" 1440p you'd need to push more pixels, and a 1070 isn't quite there in terms of power.

Oh, alright. 27" it is! Thank you very much!

Sorry, sorry. I know this is months old but I really want to know. If the 27" monitor and 32" monitor both have a resolution of 2560x1440 then how is the 32" more pixels to push? Wouldn't it take the exact same amount of GPU power? I thought the only difference would be a lower pixel density on the 32" but maybe I'm misinformed.

You're right. GPU's don't care what size your monitor is... just the pixel density.

32" 2560x1440 isn't more pixels to push, but 3440x1440 is.

owning a 32" 1440P

pretty good
