cirro Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Which would you prefer? Larger screen (say 40" +) @ 1920x1080 or Smaller Screen (size<30") @ 2500x1600 opinions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 30 inch 2560x1600 Been using this size and resolution for the past 5 years. 32 inch 3840x2160 I am tempted to use this resolution with the 4K monitor I have as my daily driver. Using a large TX for a monitor has its advantages but Im not sure I could get used to it that close to my face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 always the option with better ppi, especially since i want to buy a 30" with 2560x1600 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coors Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I've used a 50" @ 1920x1080 and a 30" @ 2560x1600. I'd take the 30" any day of the week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Depends on what I'm doing. Gaming only? Bigger monitor every time. Mixed use or non-gaming? Higher DPI. I used to use a 42" 1080p screen for gaming, it rocked. I run a 27" high-DPI screen now for day to day use + gaming and a 30" high-DPI screen for work.

cirro Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) I mainly use this PC for gaming and watching movies, maybe I have the right choice. Never used higher resolutions than 1080p, got used to using HDMI -> TV and liked it. Always wondered what super high res gaming would be like since I am very happy with how the 1080p works out @ cccokeman - My 46" sits 16" from my glasses, I love my entire visual range to be inside the screen. I think that's why I always hated the idea of splitting a desktop into 2 or more screens, the black bars from the bezel of the monitors would of drove me nuts Edited March 12, 2014 by cirro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what's kept me from upgrading for so long, though I might finally cave and upgrade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePanda Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 I keep seeing this thread propagate to the top of new content -- and all I can think of is the immature response..."THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID". Wow...must have been a long day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Last small monitor I had was a 24 inch Full HD. Used a 32 inch FHD TV and now have a 42 inch FHD TV - I would pick a large TV over a monitor of similar resolution. But if Seiki's 39 inch 4K TV was available at a decent price in South Africa (not 3 times as expensive as in the US), then I would have the best of both worlds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 30 Hz refresh rate would suck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragsman Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Depends on each person. But I prefer play at old school sizes.. if playing a CONSOLE yes BIG TV big resolution But with computer I feel uncomfortable playing from far of monitor so I play at 1600x900 20" monitor. Anyway I would like 23". 32 is like too much specially because I use computer for other things and I don't like to be staring at a 32" for Internet browsing or .. I don't know.. file reading..

Black64 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) I run both types I have 39" 4K TV for watching TV/Movies while I game on my 24" monitor/ I prefer the slightly smaller screen, even though it's slightly less resolution, because it becomes annoying to look so far to see the edges of the screen. (Maybe cause I am just sitting to close, but take that into account as well) Edited March 12, 2014 by Black64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
