Upgrade to 27'' vs 24'' display query

[mjp93]

Currently have 1370 × 768, 19'' monitor.

My problem - when I use the video editing software, i have to continously change the composition / tineline / other windows so that It can display all contents within.

At present, editing software do fit on screen but each individual sub-windows don't have enough room, they are all clubbed most of time.

I am confused that if i Get 27''1080p will have enough room for all my things. Am i right?

Or 24'' 1080p will display same results?

180$ difference between two.

Or i should go for more pixels for my purpose?

There will be the same space on the monitors if they have the same resolution. Only difference is everything will be bigger on the bigger screen.

If you need room for work, 2560x1440 is the recommended minimum, 4k is even better.
If you are on budget, 1080p or 1200p will do just fine.
More resolution means more working place.

As monitor size,
24" is the mainstream for 1080p and 1200p.
27" is the mainstream for 1440p and 1080p.
For 4k, I would get monitors bigger than 29". (personal preference)

Just some thoughts:
Resolution and monitor size has something to do with ppi and also icon size.
Bigger ppi means sharper picture but also smaller icon sizes on the same monitor size compared to lower ppi.
Combined with viewing distance, you will notice that things could be uncomfortable e.g. icons too small or image not sharp enough.
Try to maintain the balance between ppi, screen size and your viewing distance. The monitor size and resolution mainstreams already tell you what is considered most effective by most of the people.

Beside resolution (we will imit the monitor usage only for working), panel type is also important. If you work mainly for video and photo editing, you would want to have an IPS monitor instead of TN.

More pixels you get more real estate on the monitor.

More pixels means more working space...or real estate hehehehehe
The icons on 1440p 24" are too small for me, I would prefer to pick 27" for 1440p.

 

[mjp93]

yes, decided to go with 24'' 1080p

24" 1080p is the mainstream today looking from price point of view.
If you really use the 24" monitor a lot more for work, 1920x1200 is more comfortable.
It is like the 16:10 version of 1080p.
From price point of view, 1200p should not be that different to 24" 1080p with the same panel type.

Nothing wrong in adding those 200 more pixels vertically, i will make sure to if it's available
