Thinking of replacing my 23" LED with a 27" because it's getting harder to read the small print with my eyes aging. Does anyone use a 16:9 27" monitor?
I've read that the graphics won't look quite as sharp as on smaller monitors at the same resolution due to the larger size monitor and the same number of pixels. I would like to go to 27", but not at the expense of larger pixels making for poorer graphics.

Are you hooked up to the TV through VGA, DVI or HDMI?

Rather than a a 27" monitor, you might consider a 32" or larger 1080p television instead.
Earlier this year upgraded from a 23" monitor to a 46" LED TV. Couldn't tell much difference in quality from the monitor at 1920x1080, other than items being larger on the TV. Shop around and get a display with the fastest response rate >6ms if possible.
how close are you sitting to that?

Isn't a 46" a little big for just three feet away? I'm sitting about two and a half feet away and I think anything bigger than a 27" is too big from that distance.
he's going for the home grown IMAX experience.

I'm not the only one then. I was thinking of getter a bigger screen for the same reasons.
I sit about 2 to 2.5 feet from my monitor so I'm also thinking that 27" might be too big from that short distance.
You get used to it. Im at arm's length on a 42". Very immersive.
After much debate (and headaches!) and after staring at a 27" beside a 24" at the store, I've decided to get a 25" instead. The picture on the 27" at 1920x1080 just didn't look as clear as on the 24". For $300 more, I could have gotten a 2560x1440 27", but my 660 Ti probably couldn't keep up with some games at the highest graphic settings.
The Asus 25" looks great with no light bleeding at all. A good improvement from my 23". The 25" are getting to be pretty rare.
Many thanks for all of the replies.
