As title. I'm looking for monitor 27" and above.
Found acer vx272up for rm1119. Support 1440p resolution. While acer vx270p support 1080p for rm828.
My question, it's worth to pay more for 2k resolution?
I'm using my pc mostly for gaming, and sometimes for movie. I dunno either 1080p and 1440p would give me any different or not.

Btw, my pc spec is rx580 with ryzen 5 2600. Plan to upgrade to gtx1070 maybe next year if I can find cheap one

Worth. I would prefer gaming at medium settings in 1440p than high or ultra settings on 1080p. Aliasing artifacts is less jarring and FPS games works better at spotting farther away players.

I don't know. Personally I've tried 4k monitor before and can't really tell the difference. Probably if you get a much larger diameter one, then the resolution becomes important. Like going from 4.3" 720p (sony Expedia z compact) to 6" 720p (zenfone 6 2014) really can feel the 6" lacking too much. So need 6" 1080p.

Rather than 1440p, I'd rather go higher refresh rate.

Of course, if you're talking about sizes like 55" then it becomes sony xperia vs asus zenfone 6 again.

never go fullhd with 27"
u can see the pixels if fhd in 27"
fhd only for 24" and below
qhd is perfect for 27"
to answer your question, if your gpu is powerful enough then itw worth it

For 27", I think it is better to go for 1440p... coz you'll get sitting near the monitor, so you can see the pixels.

Actually not that bad 1080p on 27 provided u haven’t seen 1440p on 27, once you seen 1440p on 27 then u will feel 1080p on 27.

Same as high refresh rate.

It just like drug, once tried, u can’t turn back.

There is no pain, when there is no comparison...

I did use FFXV brenchmark in difference setting and resolutions...

End up i notice 2k resolution even in low setting, the graphic performance still on par or close to 720P/1080P with mid high setting...

Go for the 1440p monitor the extra resolution is worth it even for browsing alone.
Note that you can still set the game resolution to 1080p when gaming if your gpu can't handle it.

27inch definitely need 1440p and above. even i use 25inch monitor 1080p see pixel. haha

gtx1070.. i will stick to 24" 1080p 144hz.. or higher hz...

just got my 27gl850, definitely worth the upgrade !!!!

Thanks alot for the opinion/suggestion. Already got mine and I'm really satisfied.

nice so how is the acer monitor performance? so far so good?

I never got ips monitor before, so I can't give comparison.
But ips and tn really different. I would say, I would never go tn anymore.

once u tried 2k, u cannot go back

1440p is definitely better than 1080p la.... for me...27" is really small. I actually sold my AOC 27" and upgraded to a 34" ultrawide (see below) . satisfied. in the future if got money i would like to try the gigantic samsung 49" !

i am willing to trade 1440p IPS/VA/TN with 1080p OLED

How is this monitor so far after a month of usage?

Might get this as well.

Now I got 3 type resolution Display.

• 1080p - this is 34" Ultrawide 2560x1080 IPS 144hz, you can easily see the pixel edge issue for certain games even apply full AA and AF. Wording a bit pixel edge issue also.
• 1440p - this is 27" Wide 2560x1440 IPS 144hz, everything just superb sharp and smooth, from browsing, documents to gaming. <<-- The best choice and Balance in Image Quality v/s GPU gaming performance.
• 2160p - this is 55" Wide 3840x2160 OLED 120hz (TV), you need to have a very powerful GPU, else you may forget about 4K gaming.

In summary, for display size of 27", suggest you go for 1440p, you will be very happy on how clear and sharp on everything. But you probably should upgrade your GPU 1st before go for 1440p.

Since you already target purchase better GPU, it is wise don't get any display which is 1080p if size more than 24".

sometimes feel regret
because i cant watch 1080p movie/YouTube anymore.
looks really terrible.

about 144hz, im not really sure. try lower the game setting (ffxiv and the witcher3)
fps increase from 60 to 120 but i didnt really noticed the different.
check setting, my monitor already on 144hz setting
