Hi i am deciding between two monitors:

-Samsung t240

or

-Samsung t260

They are pretty much the same except for the t260 is 25.5 inches and the t240 is 24. Will the t260 image quality look worse than the t240 because it is the same rez but bigger size so the pixels stretch? Or is is not even noticeable? Im getting a gtx 295 so i want my games to look good not stretched and grainy if that is how the t260 displays it. ty.

I was debating this and went with the asus 26" and am very happy. A gtx 260 216 runs even crysis on very high settings at 1900x1200 no problem.

The samsungs are great. get the t260 if you have the cash you won't regret it.

I know they are good but I want to know if there is a big difference in sharpness from a 24 inch and a 25.5 inch.

I can't judge for the 24 because I don't use one. However the 26 is nice and sharp IMO.

No big difference. If comparing side by side you may notice at 24" will have slightly sharper text if you look very closely.

Oh ok so it does not affect image sharpness that much just text?
