<div dir="ltr">I have a 27" 1440p monitor (og Yamakasi Catleap I got for $200 on ebay
years ago) next to a 24" 1200p monitor. the difference is staggering. go
with 1440p or larger, the dpi on a 27" 1080p is pretty bad for computer

<div>So, I've decided to get a new monitor for my primary desktop computer at home. I'm thinking of going with a 27" or so to replace the current 20". Now that resolutions over 1920x1080 are becoming more mainstream, and approaching the "I can afford it"
range, I'm wondering if they are worth it. Anyone using one of these on a Linux system? I'll be using XFCE on openSUSE, BTW.</div>
<div>Wondering if I should go that route, or just pick up a 27" 1920x1080? </div>
<div>Thoughts?</div>
