Set up dual monitors with different screen size?

[Hamsterkun]

I have a 26" hans, use mostly for 1080p gaming, which i got from a deal on newegg last year. Now, I decide to add a second monitor to aid with learning to program. I discovered now that 26" is kind of an awkward number for screen size, with extremely limited options.
So I think I have 2 options:
1. Keep my 26" monitor as my main, then buy a 24".
2. Upgrade my gaming quality to 1440p with a 27" monitor, and somehow combine it with my 1080p 26" screen.
I plan on using dual monitor only for learning stuffs, and only one main monitor for gaming.
Thanks.

If you're not going to be dual-monitor gaming, then it doesn't matter if the monitors are different resolutions. At that point, I'd go with a 1440 27" assuming that your GPU can handle it.
