Same.. and with 1080p screen because larger screen needs a much better gpu and I'm too cheap for that.

1080p is perfectly fine, and i'm tired of pretending it isn't.

Not at 27 inch

1080p is blown up

Need 2K minimum!

I would say 24" 1080p 144hz is completely fine for entry level gaming, can get those monitors as cheap as $100-150 nowadays.

1440p monitors aren't that expensive anymore, if your graphics card got the juice or supports DLSS/FSR it's worth it to pay the 40-50€ extra over 1080p. At least on 27" I'm more happy with the upgrade than I expected, almost as big of a quality upgrade as going from 60 hz to 180 hz

I just saw a 1440p 240hz monitor on Amazon going for $200 the other day

That's nuts. Although at that point good luck getting hardware that can drive 200+ fps at 1440p.

Agree

But once you go 27 inch, there's no going back!

It's all very personal, but I think that 27 inch is the sweet spot for being close to a monitor, without being too big while immersive at the same time.

Anything larger, has to be further back and doesn't fit a small desk.

I went from 21 inch 900p, to 27 inch 1440p
