27 " or 32 ": Can't decide which one to take? Continue reading

I first ordered a pair of 27" monitors because I figured two 32" monitors side by side would take up too much space (and they do). But I returned the 27" pair and replaced them with two 32" pairs. Why? A little background: I sit in front of these two monitors all day: I code (VS), trade (webull, coinbase) and play BF5. My experience with the 27" version: + DPI (plain text and images) + brightness (especially when playing games with HDR) + size (ideal parallel setup for my 50" desk) + price (best I've come across in this resolution HDR) - Screen real estate to play with (not enough room for me, my previous monitor was a 43" 4K) I ended up returning the 27" pair because I had tunnel vision playing my favorite game. Yes, the only downside I could find. My experience with the 32" version: + price (best I could find at this resolution with HDR) + brightness (especially in HDR games) + size: much better for gaming; no more tunnel vision; moreover is text much easier to read from a distance (see my final thoughts) - DPI; (of course) there is a very noticeable difference in the clarity of text and images compared to the 27" version.ii (same resolution and larger = less DPI) .But now that I've been using them for a few days the difference is becoming less and less noticeable.They take up more (horizontal) space on my desktop;I had to move my desk a few inches to make room for them.Final thoughts : I would argue that DPI really sets the two part sizes, I think 27" at 1440p and 32" at 2160p is ideal for sharpness (but this one will cost you an extra $100 https://amzn.to/3tBzK11) If You, however, like me far away from your monitor (30-40 inches), you may need to increase your operating system's text size if you are using a 27-inch monitor. I can't comment on the standard OEM monitors as I used the VESA desktop mount for both setups (https://amzn.to/3vKgv7g). I hope you find this review helpful; I'm happy to continue if you have any questions.
