Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a difference in image quality when the ppi is the same for 2 monitors?
I am doubting between these options for a gaming monitor.

Many thanks

Yes if the game is stable at 90 fps you should have a pretty good experience at a 144hz monitor. As for the monitor sizes. If you are sitting at a normal distance from the monitor the 27 1440 offers a much better experience than the 24 1080. But, the 32 1440 although it has the same ppi the sheer size of the monitor offers a much more immersive experience. Also if you do anything other than gaming, you would appreciate the real estate of the thing.

there's more to image than PPI.

It also depends on how close you sit. If I sit close enough to my 2560x1440 that the gaps become noticeable I'm sitting too close anyway.

The very closest I'd sit is 0.8X the diagonal for a 2560x1440 panel (ultra-wide is slightly different. A 34" 1440p panel is roughly the same HEIGHT as a 27", 2560x1440 panel so I'd still sit the SAME distance away. About two feet)

Why is it 1080p at 24" vs 1440p at 32"? That's a pretty big difference in price and monitor.

Other:
Not sure of BUDGET either but there are other considerations:

- panel type (I prefer IPS)
- refresh rate (144Hz is better than 60Hz even for non-gaming)
- GSYNC/FreeSync

One issue if you don't have GSync/FreeSync and 144Hz panel is that it can be tricky to optimize the experience. I recommend the "Half Adaptive VSYNC" options so the GPU caps at 72FPS if you can't output 144FPS easily.

Thanks for your answer.
I choose those two options because then the ppi is the same so the sharpness of the panel should be the same when sitting at same distance. I really like to have a 144hz monitor but I am doubting for the resolution cause I read that 1440 is much sharper, but this can be only on monitors of the same size right?

Isn't ultra on 1080 better then medium on 1440?
Also if a game has stable 90fps, will it look good on a 144hz?
