32 vs 27 IPS

[jarrodr]

Before everyone jumps and votes for 32, lets consider the factors.

I've recently bought a Dell 27 Monitor: SE2717H and have a secondary screen which is a Samsung 23 (going strong at 11 years).
My PC isn't a beast, so I'm thinking of using my PS4.

I didn't consider upgrading the 23 to 27, but now I'm thinking of exchanging the 27 for a Philips 32 (327e8qjab).
Considering my budget is R4000, should I upgrade to this a 32 (R4100, yes R100 more) or stick with the 27 (R3000).

Btw, I setup this. Was a lockdown project, lol.

Wouldn't upgrade, 1080p at 27" is already pushing it in regards to Pixel density, it will be definitely be more noticeable at 32" for a PC.

For a PC.
You sit closer so you will notice pixel density.
I have numerous monitors sizes at work. The 32 inch at 1080p is fine for work usage excel etc.
Gaming on 32 inch at 1080p is not going to look nice.

For a PS4.

You sit further back.
It will be fine.

Thanks guys. My desk is 70cm in depth and yes, I don't normally sit all the way front (arb info)

I guess I'm pretty much sold but what about the specs compared to my 27"?

Also, I would love to actually see a 32" monitor to judge the size.

ViewSonic VX3276-2K-MHD 32" WQHD

Is this worth it?

My hdmi on my laptop is probably only 1080p but I'm forward thinking for a PS5 late late later on, lol.
