Windows 10: I could be nitpicking, but why is it that my 1440p monitor which is a 27” shows as a bigger...

Is the jump to 1440P really worth it?

For me it was worth it. I noticed a big difference in quality but I need to also say that I went from a 27" 1080p to a 27" 1440p monitor so obviously the pixel density was much improved with the 1440p monitor.

Edit: The reason I mentioned about going from a 27" 1080p to a 27" 1440p is that if you are using that 21.5" 1080p monitor in your specs and you step up to a 27" 1440p you might not notice as much of a difference.

 

Change Relative Size of Multiple Monitors

When configuring multiple monitors for Windows 10, how can I change the relative size of one monitor to the other in the Display Settings? To be more clear, if I have a 27-inch 1440p monitor and a 4k 27-inch monitor, the 4k monitor shows up as a bigger monitor in the display settings. This causes the pictures to look identical, but in real life, there is an offset as if the monitors were not of identical size. The 1440p shows as a smaller monitor and acts as a smaller monitor. Is there anything I can do, or would I have to deal with it?

 

Does anyone have a 1440p, 144/165 Hz monitor?

I currently have 2x identical 25" 1440p monitors 60 Hz monitors.

I want to add a high refresh rate 1440p monitor between them.

I'm hoping for the heights of them all to be as similar as possible.

However, there are hardly any (if any) 25" 1440p high refresh rate monitors.

Does anyone have any of the following?

• Acer XB241YU (24")
• Acer XB271HUABMIPRZ (27")
• Acer XF240YUBMIIDPRZX (24")
• Acer XF270HUABMIIDPRZX (27")
• Acer XG270HUOMIDPX (27")
• AOC AG241QG (24")
• AOC AG241QX (24")
• AOC AG271QX (27")
• Asus MG278Q (27")
• Asus MG279Q (27")
• Dell S2417DG (24")
• Iiyama GB2760QSU-B1 (27")
• Samsung C27HG70 (27")
• Zowie XL2730 (27")
• Zowie XL2735 (27")

If so, could you possibly measure the height of the screen in two ways, for me?

• The height including panel casing (but not including the stand etc.)
• Just the panel height itself (so should be a little shorter than the above)

This would be very much appreciated, as it's very hard to get heights online!
