Hi guys, planning to get 2x monitors
Using for school work, watching anime and occasional gaming.

IPS
VESA support:wall mounting/dual monitor stand

Questions
When comes to monitor 24-27", is bigger always better?
1080p or 1440p?

What kinda of school work are you doing? What's your budget?
I'm using 23" 1080p monitors now, 1 Acer TN, 1 LG IPS.
Mainly programming, definitely more screens will be useful. Might touch on Computer graphics or 3D modeling stuff in the future.

Using the previous IT show's pricing, i can afford 2 of the 27" 1440p monitor which was around 700ish each i think. But just wondering if actually getting 27" 1440p is actually worth the money or just stick to 1080p. Also wondering if bigger is actually better.

XD. not only for programming lah. Basically i do everything on desktop, like watch anime, movie and play games.
But my sub question is. 1440p or 1080p. I haven't flat out decided to get 1440p

1440p is only good for gaming.
Programming will be very jialat.
Higher resolution = Smaller Text.

Video wise, unless you watching 4k Video, otherwise your videos will be stretched to 1440p and therefore quality will drop since they are native 720p or 1080p.

Ah i see. So 27" and 24" will have a difference? From what i understand, 1080p 24" monitor the pixels are more tightly packed compared to 27" 1080p one
