Monitor upgrade ?'s

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Was possibly thinking of upgrading a hp 20" 1680x1050p to either a 23" 1920x1080p or a 28" 1920x1200p. Is there much gain in owning a 1920x1200 vs a 1920x1080p? Would it be worth it? These are the monitors in question. Both on sale today.

Many people like the 1920*1200 better for it's aspect ratio.

Different aspect ratios for different personal preferences



1080p movies will have black bars on 1920x1200

9:16 vs 10:16... I went with 9:16 (23" 1920x1080) because they're so much cheaper.

Are you really ok with the 0.309mm pixel pitch on the HannsG? A 19" 1280×1024 monitor has a lower pixel pitch than that. The Asus will appear much sharper.

How much is pixel pitch on 20" 1680x1050 vs 23" 1920x1080?

Check out this link. There's a very helpful table at the bottom. Link

Some people like a higher pixel pitch because it makes everything appear larger. The trade off is that images won't appear as sharp (depending on how far away you sit). Since I'm a gamer and have good eyesight, I prefer a smaller dot pitch.
