[SOLVED] Is a 27 inch 1080p monitor bad?

[masterr_123]

I want to buy one of these monitors and I don't know which one is better. LG 27MP59G-P or LG 24MP59G-P

It's not bad, depends if you mind the big pixels you'll be seeing on the screen. However if you have vision issues, it might be easier to see cause everything will be bigger.

A 27" 1080P monitor looks good, text is clear and gaming looks great. Although it looks like the price difference between the two is significant (at least via LG), $100 more for 3" wouldn't be worth it to me.

I don't have vision issues but i wouldn't like seeing pixelated/stretched text. I know that a 27 inch 1080p has 81 ppi while a 24 inch 1080p has 92 ppi. Will the difference be noticeable if I'm staying at about 60 cm from the screen?
(I'm currently running a 2560x1080 25 inch UW with 111 ppi and it's fine but I want to get one more monitor)

I have a 34" 2560x1080P @81 PPI with 20/25 vision and I don't think the text or games look pixel-y at all. But with a larger monitor your going to move it farther away opposed to having a smaller one and keeping it closer.

Where I live there are some Christmas discounts now and the 24 inch goes for 150$ and the 27 inch goes for 180$

How far away is your monitor?

About a arms length away, I had the 29" version previously and it would be a bit closer. I adjust based on distance but also close enough that I can see the entire screen in my peripheral.

To answer your question standard pixel density:
1080p = 24"
1440p = 27"

Thanks for the help man. Do you think that I should take the 27 inch version for 180$?

It really depends on what you plan on using it for. If it's just for web/YT/Netflix/etc I'd probably grab the 24", if for gaming I'd grab the 27" but personally I'd go for the 1080P ultra wide at 29" or 34" if your gaming and if your games support 21:9. I saw the 25" version that you have and it just seems too small to actually enjoy gaming but to each there own.

I know, that's exactly why I want to buy another monitor. I plan on using my current one (25" ultrawide) as a secondary monitor for yt/netflix/web and the other one for gaming and main activities. I want to go with a stacked dual monitor setup with the 25" on top.
