[SOLVED] Is there a difference from a 27" 1440p vs 4k monitor?

Basically wondering if a 27" 4k monitor is worth it or would it be more noticeable difference on say... 32"?

As a person who owns a 27" 4k monitor and something close to 1440p pixel density, yes you can notice the difference. This is mostly with text. It isn't much and there are a lot of tradeoffs that come with a 4k display.

So would you say getting a 27" 4k monitor be worth it or would 32" + be something better for 4k?

Honestly, if I had a system that can display 4k on the highest settings at 120 fps with HDR. I would go with a 4k display even at 27" or smaller. The issue is can my system handle that? I think getting a better overall picture comes before getting more pixel density. The human eye can perceive up to an 8k display on a 27" monitor from the typical seating position.

There are some slight advantages to more pixels. You can turn off AA.

Hmm okay, sounds pretty good to me, I'll probably be getting myself the new LG27GN950-B

Thanks!
