If 1080 does not look sharp on the 27" I would invest in a 1440p resolution monitor. I have a 1440p monitor it is truly a great experience just using for everyday tasks with all of the real estate and having 5 windows up with ease and gaming, and pixel density is the same as having a 20" 1080p screen, but on a 27" screen! There are many brands today making 1440p display solutions from Korean companies like Acheivia, Qnix, Yamakasi, or go with a general manufacturer like Dell, ASUS, Samsung, and NEC. I personally think 1080p on any screen size above 23" gets jaggy, but that is my opinion and others may not mind and just need what gets the job done.
