24" 1080p vs 27" 1440p?
Looking into getting a new monitor to either replace one of my two current monitors, or both. My current monitors are two 21" BenQ GW2283's; 1080p/60hz-IPS panel, they're okay, but i'm tired of the low refresh rate. I'm a bit concerned about running a singular 1440p monitor with my current specs, but i'm also not keen on buying a larger 1080p monitor due to text clarity becoming an issue.

For 1440p i was looking at both the ASUS VG27AQ & the MSI Optix G273QPF, both 27"/165hz IPS panel monitors. Both look good for around $300USD but again, i'm slightly concerned about powering a 1440p monitor compared to a 1080p monitor.

For 1080p i was looking at the Acer Nitro XF243y, 24"/165hz IPS panel.

As far as usage goes, I'd mainly be playing simulator/rpg's and occasionally shooters, and i'd only have room for one 27" monitor (barely have enough room for two 21" monitors right now).

Does anyone have any experience with any of these monitors? Also up for any other recommendations but i'd highly prefer IPS panels over any other panel type.

Specs:
CPU: R5 1600
GPU: RX 580 8GB
RAM: 16GB DDR4-3000

Thanks in advance for any help! Also, is multitasking on one 27" 1440p monitor as easy as using a separate 1080p monitor where i can just drag a window over to my other screen? Or is it bit more of a pain?

1. Your GPU isn't good enough for even a single 1440p panel, it sits just fine at 1080p 60Hz. I would get at least an RTX 3060.

2. 24" 1080p has noticeably more jaggies than 21" because lower pixels per inch (ppi; pixel density)

3. I'd be wary of MSI branded monitors, they seem to have more quality related problems frequently than competitors like Acer and ASUS. Likely has to do with MSI's QA before the monitors get packed and shipped.

4. ALWAYS get reviews on sites like rtings before you go buy a monitor, not all panels are created equal. Some IPS panels have worse contrast, response times, etc. than other IPS panels.

dual monitors has always been easy to bring stuff across them

you can span and drag or winkey+shift+arrows to move to other displays

for desktop tasks its fine

for gaming, stick to the 1080p display

running the accessory 1440p-4k or more is no extra work on the gpu

As you are looking to buy high refresh rate Monitors it's almost certain you should stick to 1080p.

Not because of your current GPU but because whatever will be your next will also likely struggle with 165hz@1440p. This is realy demanding.

And even if for now you play LoL and CSGO and want high refresh for those games. I wouldn't bet that in the next years there might be no other competetive games catching your eyes.

Dont forget that refresh rate can be adjusted.

I have a 1440p 165hz monitor but i run it at 100hz because my rtx3090 cannot do 165hz in many games, and when it can, it uses 400w to do so, which is ok in winter, but not so much in summer…

But with an rx 580 you should probably stick to 1080p.
_I_ 2022 年 5 月 27 日 上午 7:52 
on a display above 100hz it should support gsync/freesync

set it to its highest refresh rate and let the hardware sync lower it to match the gpu output

Interesting... Even with a 3090 you struggle at 165hz/1440? What games is it struggling with out of curiosity?

You're not wrong, going to be upgrading my gpu in the future regardless and eventually cpu/mobo; but if even a 3090 is struggling with 1440p maybe now isn't the right time for it

Fair point although i haven't really been interested in any newer competitive games, just csgo/r6. Would a 24" 1080p monitor struggle with text clarity as much as i'm thinking it would? (sitting 3ft from desk)

You don't really need 165 Hz, 144 Hz or something is fine.. I run a 1440p @ 144 Hz monitor with a 3070, and most of my games can do 100-120+ fps.. And with Freesync the refreshrate is synced to the fps. Feels smooth to play games, and got no need for vsync etc.

I'm not intentionally choosing 165, it's just that most of the 1440p panels happen to be 165hz. Although i suppose i could just use 144hz too

curious what games and what you mean by struggling? my 2070 runs a 1440p 144hz and a 1080p 60hz and i get by pretty nice.
Viking2121 2022 年 5 月 27 日 下午 7:33 
I'd go for a 27 inch at 1440p, if you cant run games at 1440p, tonedown the graphics or lower to 1080p, or play in a window or play on your 2nd display if its 1080p.

1080p to me even on a 24 inch is still an aliasing magnet, like jaggies are still vary.... there. 27 inch at 1440p is better, but not perfect.

Just most AAA games in general, not even the new ones either, although its probably because i refuse to go below Ultra settings. For me graphics is more important than framerate. 60hz sucks, but almost anything above 60hz is fine for me. Sometimes i cap framerate at 75hz to reduce the heat output and because 75hz is enough for me.

Edit: Also my 3090 has the worst coil whine that i have ever heard, which makes me not want to play at high fps. And that is why i can't wait to upgrade to rtx4080.

who cares. response time and refresh rate is all that matters.

i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate led. i just gave up the crt 2 years ago biggest mistake of my life :steamfacepalm:
It's more than just about response times and refresh rate. If that's all the criteria you care about, you'll just end up with crap.

Size, pixel density/ppi, panel type, panel brand, panel curvature (if applicable), contrast ratio, colour production, ergonomics, viewing angles, resolution... all of it matters and it makes a big difference. If you buy a cheap crap LED monitor, you're going to get a cheap crap LED monitor.

≤ 24 inch 1080p displays look considerably better 27+ inch 1080p displays because they have more pixels per inch on the actual panel, so there's less aliasing on the screen because the image is sharper, cleaner, as there's more pixels packed into each inch of the screen.
Same could be said about 27 inch 1440p vs 32 inch 1440p panels, though it's less noticeable than aforementioned 1080p options because there's 78% more pixels to work with, with a pretty marginal difference in panel size.

TN panels look washed out but they're typically the best for response times and support the highest refresh rates first.
VA panels have amazing visual quality in comparison, but terrible response times, polar opposite to TN.
IPS is in the dead center; good visuals, good response.
OLED panels are amazing, but they're expensive and their biggest issue is image burn-in when a still image is displayed for extended periods, but all of these panel types are capable of it, I have a VA panel in my possession that is extremely prone to burn-in.

VA panels have good viewing angles and contrast, which makes them great for curved displays. IPS and TN are meh.

Advertised response times are absolute BS, for the record, because MPRT, GtG, etc. only apply during a specific instance. GtG, for example, means grey-to-grey, meaning when the entire screen is just refreshing however many frames per second it's rated for with nothing but a single color or shade across every pixel, that's the rated response time. It doesn't apply to when a constantly changing image is displayed on the screen, so while your advertised response for many monitors is within 4ms, the actual response can range anywhere between about 5 and 12ms, if not higher, very few panels come anywhere close to being a true 1ms response time in any instance.

Thanks for the detailed reply, can't say i disagree with anything you said. Going to work on upgrading my build first and wait for monitor prices to drop.
