Screen size does not give you more real-estate, only an increased pixel
count does. The amount of work space on a 1920x1080 display is exactly
the same on a 27" monitor as it is on a 24" monitor. A 27" monitor
will, however, display things a tad larger because of an increased
pixel size/dot pitch due to fitting the same amount of pixels over a
larger area (PPI). To some people this increased pitch becomes too
noticable in a 27" monitor. When it comes to large TVs, dot
pitch/pixel size is not so important as you very rarely sit close
enough to a TV to notice it too much.

A 24" monitor seems to be the sweet spot for 1920x1080 when it comes to
computer use. Anything larger I would be inclined to go 1440p or even
4k.


All I can say is my 28' 4k is superb.



DAMN how do you get that thing in the HOUSE?!?
