So a while back I bought a couple Acer 19" 5:4 Monitors ($15 each) in the hope of later on use them in a 3 monitor setup (as to me 3x23 or 3x24 is just too wide). I am trying to figure the most important part in matching the center monitor.
The Acers are AL1916CB: 19" 5:4 1280x1024 86.27PPI with viewable area of 14.84"W by 11.87"H
At first I wanted to setup a LLL and match physical sizes, so a 24" 16:9 would work as their viewable area 11.77" high (a 0.1" diff, about 1.5/16th of an inch) but as I learned more about triple mix monitor setup, I noticed the PPI (pixel per inch) might be more important to get everything to line up.
So my question, should I go with say something like this:
Acer G246HLAbd: 24" 16:9 1920x1080 91.79PPI with viewable area of 20.9"W by 11.77H (matching physical height but a difference of 5.5PPI)
or
Hanns-G HL269DPB: 26" 16:9 1920x1080 84.73PPI with viewable area of 22.66"W x 12.75"H (0.88" difference in physical height which doesn't bother me but almost identical PPI with a difference of only 1.54PPI between the 2).
I just want to make sure that I get that right, that the PPI is more important in aligning things than physical size. Will it be very bad to have a 5PPI difference between the monitors. I plan on playing with SoftTH or just stretching in window mode and hoping eyefinity ppl will wake up and add it to their config). I will also be removing bezels as I already did on my 19"'s.
PS:
If a difference of 5PPI isn't noticable (I have no clue) I could also go with a PLP setup with a 27":
Hanns-G HL273HPB 27" 16:9 1920x1080 81.59PPI with a viewable area of 23.53"W x 13.24"H
That makes a physical height difference of 1.6" (not a big deal to me) and 4.68PPI (that could a deal breaker if too visible).
