27" 4k or 32" 4k OLED monitor?

Looking to buy a new monitor, but can't decide between a 27-inch and a 32-inch? The PPI is better on the 27" with 166 vs 140 PPI on the 32"

Will it be highly noticeable in terms of text/sharpness, especially when watching media that isn't in 4K? Anyone know

Im tempted to go with the 166PPI 27" OLED

As someone who has 27 and 32" 1440p monitors; get the 32. Yeah PPI is reduced, but 32" fuks if you get it on a nice vesa mount.

Yea, I'm probably gonna go with the 32", kinda seeing mixed reviews...

Just hoping the PPI isn't that much noticeably different on the 32 vs 27. Hopefully, the content will still look somewhat good at 1080p/720p since 4k media isn't always available.

It's noticeable in 1440p, but not a huge deal.

32"


Dont let anyone convince you otherwise. I have a 43 inch 4k OLED tv as a monitor and the resolution is fucking insane, even at 1440p or 1080p .... but the bigger size, Oled res and 4k is just so goated.


Unless you're a sweaty gamer and need like 10000 hz to play valorant.

Higher PPI wins out for me.
