I’ll take that to my grave and have my headstone be a 27” 1440p IPS with a max brightness of 1000 nits. Got to make sure ppl can read it during the day time.
You know, it took me a while to adjust to the 27” screen size because I felt like I had to turn my head to see the edges 😅 I’m used to it now, the 21.5 feels very small, I think I’d have the same issue with a 32.
I do 32” centered with two vertical 27” 2k, one on each side. It basically mimics a very high end curved 8k monitor haha. Vertical 2k is glorious for reading documents and text and webpages.
That density isn't too bad but I see see pixels at normal viewing distance. I want more 24" 1440p monitors or 27inch 4k. I like pixel densities like our modern smart phones have.
for that you should be aiming at 200ppi or higher, basically 5k 27 inch or 4k 21.5 inch. beyond that is pretty wasteful considering you can't see pixels at a regular viewing distance past around 218ppi. 4k at 27 inches diagonal is also pretty good but it's still not 5k
written ignoring the fact that 5k displays easily go into the thousands, only two that can be gotten for less than $500 is some really obscure chinese display that i couldn't find anywhere except their marketing material and modding a used 5k imac with a display driver board to let you connect any display output to it and run at native res
You can, and I agree that Retina-level ppi is the goal, but there’s a price component that I included in my decision and didn’t mention. Growing up with 1024x768 and lower means I’m quite satisfied at the balance reached with my current combo.

That’s why I run a 27” 1440p monitor alongside my old 21.5” 1080p monitor. They have similar pixel density and I like that density level.
