Is the difference from a 24 inch 1080p to a 27 inch 1440p that huge?

I am deciding between the asus vg248qe and the rog swift. I know 144fps will probably not be possible on ultra on 2gtx 980. So obviously a 1080p monitor will have higher frame rate. I am buying my new gpus today or tomorrow, so I want to know if the difference is worth the frame drop.

At 1080p a 24" monitor is good pixel density, anything over you would want to start going to 1440p. Two 980's should easily be able to run games at 144fps easily, depending on games, at 1080p. I would say go for the 144hz monitor, from personal experience, they are so smooth and beautiful!
 


They are both 144hz monitors...

Watch a movie on DVD, then watch one on Blu-ray.

Pretty much the same results as with 1080p and 1440p. Moving up from 24" to 27" just means you don't have to get so close to the screen in order to see the whites of dudes eyes before ya shoot him.

@Iamsoda :

I know dvds are 480p and Blu-ray is 1080p, I was giving an example of difference in viewing perception, since most ppl have seen plenty of dvd movies, and are able to see the difference when watching a Blu-ray. The example is valid, even if the exact specifics are not when it comes to difference in 1080p and 1440p monitors.

It is valid if he didn't understand there was any difference between pixels on a screen, however this is not the case. comparing 480 to 1080 is a much much steeper slope then 1080 to 1440. 345600 pixels (480), 2073600 (1080), and 3686400 (1440). Not sure about you guys, but I am count another place value in 1080 and 1440 vs 480. I would say go into a computer store and look at the 1440 monitors vs the 1080 is 3x the price worth that to you? Then buy or don't buy and wait.
