Ppi definitely matters. If you were to compare the LG 45 inch oled monitor ti the QD oled 34 inch monitors, one important think is that even though the 45 inch is bigger, the ppi makes it a lot worse for text and stuff. 1080 at 24 inch is much more manageable at 24 than 27. Using the example of 32 inch 4K and 55 inch 4K is a big gap, and TVs are much bigger so you kinda have to sit far back.
@@stevenbaker5917 I’ve used a 27 inch 1080p (ultrawide) and it was a nightmare using MS word. Truly astonishingly bad. 4k at 32 inches 16:9 I found to be spectacular. That 1080p was ≈82 ppi and I think it is terrible for a monitor. 130 is spectacular in my opinion. I just ordered a 42 inch 4k 16:9 and I am scared of what 104 ppi will bring. Crossing my fingers.
Pixel density is useless. Say you play a game. Your character on a 4k display is going to be made up of more pixels than your character on a 1440p screen, therefore it's going to have a lot more detail. Doesn't matter if your 1440p screen is just 22" with an insane PPI, still each individual object is made up of way less pixels.
@@JustBenching a 22" 1440p has a higher pixel density then a 4k 43" and would absolutely look better then the 4k. The larger the screen the less pixels which is why you need to increase your resolution at bigger sizes. So pixel density is far from useless. You just don't understand how it works. Not a big deal, but you should learn about it...
The only thing that matters: what do YOU prefer? Was playing on 27" 1080p monitor for 5-6 years, as soon as affordable mini/microleds will be available gonna upgrade to... 27" 1080p high refresh rate monitor 😅
I can hear you never had two 32" monitors with different PPI standing next to each other.... when you get monitor close to er large screen with low PPI it just looks horrible with the lower PPI... I can maybe concede that over er certain ppi number (depending on screen size resolution and distance) you can't spot the difference anymore, but 69 ppi vs. 92 ppi on a 1440p 32" monitor, 70cm from your face will be night and day!
The first gen qdoled to the second generation of qdoled is a very significant upgrade in pixel aperture ratio, so the screen door effect (and the fringing!) is a lot less at a given distance. One thing most people also don't think about: even normal RGB subpixel displays have fringing, red on the left and blue on the right. Ppi is definitely something to think about but I agree with the general sentiment of the video that it's not as big of a deal as many people make it out to be. For example: krp-500m technically has the same ppi as any other 1080p 50" tv, but if you actually look at the pixels with a loupe or macro lens you will see that the pixel aperture ratio(the pixel fill) is insane, the black gaps between pixels are extremely tiny. So, the effective screen door effect on the vertical axis is actually even better than a 50" 4k tv. Ppi isn't telling the whole story.
@@jarekzahary ppi doesn't determine detail or sharpness, it is just one part of determining how smooth(lacking visible pixels) the image looks. The steam deck display has like 200ppi or some shit and it's only 1280x800, meanwhile a 55" 4k tv has way less. Now you look goofy
I think you're kinda twisting the story a bit. I think PPI does matter, assuming the display takes up the same angle of your vision. Sure a 1080p 4 inch phone display can look as sharp as your 80 inch 4K TV, but walk closer to the TV or hold the phone closer and the balance shifts. It's dependent on how close you get with your screens on whether the issues are seen. It's why some say 1440p starts to look worse at 27 inches while others say it doesn't till 32 inches. It matters what angle of your vision the display takes up, not the size.
@thedisplayguy4858 even if it does have more detail, it doesn't show it to you. Its like if I have a dead pixel or spot on the screen. Back away a bit and it fully disappears. I know my display in front of me right now has a stuck sub pixel (stays red even on white images) on the right and 90% of the time its completely invisible. Doesn't matter if there's more detail if you can't see it. Not to mention many displays and services are lossy or have built in upscaling making them look completely identical. This effect is even easier with modern games with heavy post processing. I don't think its hard to notice how games prior to this like an Assassin's Creed 4 or Halo MCC has this really crisp look while newer games look more hazy and blurred. There's no detail to be gained out of that. Where resolution still helps in modern games is more aliasing which is an issue unique to rendering compared to TV and movies. That's the one place you will always get an advantage. Just to prove a point, Linus from LTT couldn't tell the difference between native 4K footage of his show vs 1080p AI upscaled. In fact he said he sometimes thought the AI looked better. It kinda proves what people see is the sharpness, not the details.
The pixel density matters for how close you can sit next to the display and it not he pixelated. 27" you can sit with a foot of it and have no pixelation at 1440p. 42" 4k screen you will need more like 20" of distance to not have pixelation.
@@Skylancer727ven if sharper screen has more....... detail xDDD LOL 🤣 But what to be surprised after someone who gives as an example of linus, who knows nothing about the screens 😂 People see is the sharpness, not the details 😹 LMFAO 😸
I disagree, higher ppi is important if you wanna have a good quality image, ofc if you compare a 42" FHD tv vs 42"QHDtv watching them far away you will not notice the diference, but pc monitor are close to you so notice the diference between 27fhd vs 27qhd will be instantly.
PPI determines how close you sit from a monitor, and still get the same quality. The further you are from the screen the smaller the screen appears. A 32" screen at 1080p vs a 24" 1080p equals sitting at 49" vs 37" to get the same viewing quality and the size of the screen will look pretty much the same size at those respective distances. Are you going to change the distance you view at? If not then PPI matters a lot.
Absolutely no one or very few is realizing that resolution (the amount or number of total horizontal and vertical lines) and pixel density (ppi/dpi) are basically 2 opposite characteristics if the area rule is broken. I repeat: pixel density is ANOTHER independent FEATURE. And this one, is correlated between the pixels or cubes and the space it occupies in it if you keep the same size of that area or frame, as you like to say. Having more detail (more horizontal and vertical lines) in an image such as a circumference for example, is synonymous to having more information in that object. What happens is that the image is composed for a major number of pixels or cubes. It has more information/details but, if we don't keep the same size of the frame.... Then it won't look more defined or smooth because the cubes are bigger and it won't look as good. On the other hand, if we keep that increased amount of pixels and keep the same area size, we make them smaller so that they occupy that amount. NOW we WOULD get more detail/information in an image and at the same time we would see smoother or sharper those details, comprised in cubes. Finally, I want to mention that viewing distance and visual acuity are not characteristics of the screen itself. But 2 factors that is about the person: it is about what distance is to visualize those objects and on the other hand, how much tolerance or experience that user has if he can recognize more details in that object and other elements within an already prerendered scenario. There will be more or less information depending on: the number of horizontal and vertical lines, the screen physically has. I think the title and the use of words at the beginning of the video were not the best choice. It is a complex subject if you don't use the right words to explain, with the purpose. So that people understand and engrave these concepts in their heads. Thanks for the effort, The Display Guy, I send you greetings and a big hug from Madrid! (Spain)
If resolution was more important than PPI, then DLDSR-ing a 2560x1440p display into a 3840x2160p resolution would make the display look the same as a native 3840x2160p display. However, this is obviously not how it looks as it just results in the image being blurry, that blurriness giving the illusion of a better resolution and less pixelation.
All the people in these comments either didn’t listen to what he is saying or don’t understand what he is saying. Everything Said in this video is true.
I mean, his own arguments actually show that pixel density does matter. You can't say it doesn't then explain how for two displays of the same resolution the smaller one will look sharper at the same distance due to its higher pixel density.
PPI is important when you want to buy a screen that will allow you to avoid scaling. In Linux fractional scaling is PITA. From the ergonomic perspective you want to sit around ~80cm from the screen. For that distance ~100ppi is nice, ~110ppi for some (it's a 27"1440p), but on 32"4K things may be way to small. Then you need scaling therefore loosing "real estate" + it works awful on Linux. So even that I agree, that you can sit further away it's not the thing other way around. You cannot sit with your nose touching the screen. Knowing current monitor PPI one may know if the new monitor will deliver the interface size similar to the current one.
Everybody arguing that PPI is a good measurement fail to understand the fact that physically moving your monitor closer or further back only one inch has more of a visual effect than actual PPI, and they are probably sitting way too close to their monitor to begin with.. the most important attributes to look for are the distance that you're going to be sitting from the monitor, the resolution, the overall size, the feature set.
Exactly, and that is why the metric should not be PPI, but something like: "perceived PPI at intended distance of X centimeters". So when looking at some 27" screen at, say, 70 cm, the PPI is 100, but when looking at this 24" at, say, 60 cm, the PPI is also 100. Imagine holding your fingers in front of your eyes and keeping a space between the fingers of 1 inch. How many pixels do you experience? That is a more interesting measure of PPI. Human-perceived PPI. The metric should reflect the human experience somewhat reasonably.
Dude, I see pixels on my 21.5 inch 1080p monitor even while sitting 60 cm away. In order to not see the pixelation, I would have to sit about 90 cm away, at which point the perceived size of the monitor would become way too small (the text would be almost impossible to read too, but that can be solved using windows scaling). The same applies to 1440p 27" and 2160p 43" screens which have approximately the same PPI. By moving farther away you can solve the pixelation issue but the screen would take up too little of your FOV. And most people wouldn't want that. The only way to get a beautiful smooth image and at the same time enjoy the feeling of a large screen is to buy a screen with a larger PPI. So PPI clearly does matter more.
For most PC gamers, they're right in front of their desks, so PPI matters because the distance from the screen isn't changing. That being said, you're completely correct on all the non subjective things you said. The comments are just full of dbags.
A 27 inch 1440p screen looks way worse than a 55 inch 4k screen? LMAOOO I have a 27 inch 1440p (109 PPI) and a 43 inch 4k (102 PPI) screen side by side and they look pretty much the same. Id be ashamed to still have "the display guy" as my username after uploading this video tbh.
disagree, ppi IS important. I got an Ips 1440p 23.8" 165hz (128ppi) monitor and it Looks INSANELY sharper and more detailed than my alienware aw2723df 280hz 1440p 27" Ips (109ppi)
You just proved the guys point in the video. Basically, what you're doing is moving the image further from your face, so you see less. Going from a larger screen to a smaller one with the same resolution is the exact same thing as moving the same size monitor away from you.
I think you're completely wrong, Been doing research on this and Pixel Density 100% matters, sure if you're sitting all the way across the room it might not matter, But when you're sitting at a desk a foot and a half from your screen it certainly does matter & a lot. And the larger the screen the less pixels the larger you go in size you need to up the quality to 1440 or 4k depending on how large. From what i've gathered, a 24" 1080 is fine at a 92ppi, if you go larger to 27" you're going want to go to 1440p at 109ppi otherwise it will fall below 92ppi if you remain at 1080p & look terrible. Same goes for when you go larger. a 43" 4k only has 104ppi and will look less clear then a 1440p 27"... Not by much, but anything below 109 can be noticed and below 85 looks horrible. So if you have a large 50" tv at 1080p it's going to look like trash and have a ppi of below 60 and look blocky as heck.
It’s almost like science can quantify the human visual acuity and determine the proper pixel density for a given display size and viewing distance. Oh wait, it can and has been doing that for decades! For a TV that’s 10’ away from the viewer, 90ppi may be good enough, but if you’re 1m away from the display, you’ll absolutely be able to see the individual pixels in anything less than 150ppi. We use PPI instead of resolution because it accounts for the difference in display sizes and makes an excellent metric for comparison.
You should make a video about the differences in quality and bitrate when it comes to streaming 4K content versus a 4K UHD Blu Ray disc. I feel like a lot of people still stream 1080p content on their 4K displays lol.
I plan to get the lg c3 and a lot of people say to get the LG c3 42 over the 48 because it has more ppi but I dunno the same price for a larger monitor's nice especially if I'm viewing movies/anime more than gaming(using for computer monitor). Thanks for the video! I really appreciate it
You can use DLDSR to increase the render resolution of games that are running on a display with a lower resolution but high PPI. Once you match the render resolution, the lower resolution higher PPI display will look better than the higher resolution display with a lower PPI.
1:40 your monitor is less than 50cm away from you while the 4K tv usually sit 2-3m away from your eyes, of course it will looks sharper. Ppi matter when you what things to look good at a certain distance. Have your phone 30cm away from your eyes, the one with higher ppi will look sharper.
It not just marketing nonsense, ppi does matter according to your viewing distance. for example smartphone need 300 or more ppi for better, monitor need 160-200 ppi or more for better and TV may need 100 ppi or more for better The higher PPI you have, the closer you can use the display without noticing the individual pixel embedded on the display. choose wisely for your purpose. for monitor or TV 27 inch 4k gives 163 dpi, which is sweet spot for both.
What are you even rambling about? PPI literally stands for Pixels Per Inch. It plays a crucial role in image definition, particularly when discussing display quality without factoring in upscaling technologies. I understand the point you are trying to make, but it is important to emphasize that PPI directly determines the pixel density of a display. For instance, approaching a large, low-PPI television displaying a game at 4K resolution can result in noticeably diminished image clarity. This is why PPI becomes especially significant when using a monitor at a desk, where the viewing distance is minimal. For instance, a 22" monitor at 1080p resolution will offer a much sharper image when viewed up close compared to a 27" monitor at the same resolution, even if the latter is placed farther away. The difference is huge. With a larger monitor, one must either maintain a greater distance, resulting in diminished detail perception due to human visual limitations, or move closer, where the lack of pixel density becomes apparent and compromises image sharpness. In contrast, a smaller, higher-PPI display provides a sharper image at close range, which is why PPI MATTERS A LOT. In fact, you should be more worried about PPI than resolution.
PPI is literally a function of resolution and display size. It is EXTREMELY important when comparing which monitor is best from a SIZE perspective. PPI is why you dont want to buy a 32 or 42inch 1080p monitor. The pixel density is just too low. PPI is also why when you buy a 4k laptop that is very tiny you must scale to get readable text. For .e the most comfortable way to read text from a distabce of abiut 3 feet is 113ppi. So i know that if i buy a monitor that can only out out 75 or 80ppi based on its size snd the native resolution i will not be happy and therefore i will need to go UP in resolution to get more pixels. PPI is used by big brains to optimize what they buy for their use case. I assume you think pixel pitch / dotch pitch is irrelevant too haha. Bottom line saying PPI is irrelevant shows a lack of understanding. Ive got 4 monitors with different resolutions hooke up to my computer. Ive got them all scaled appropriately so text is perfect for my eyes. This can only be calculated by referring to PPI since as i stated before it is a direct function of resolution and screen size.
@@sebastianwehler3218 That's exactly what PPI is, dude. Pixels per inch. Smaller individual pixels = more pixels per inch. BUT PPI DOESNT MATTER DURRR.
@@TheBeelzeboss Of course PPI matters. It's one of the most important factors when buying a panel. This is what every true expert will tell you. Can you imagine there are actually people who bought a 55 inch 1080p screen? That's a PPI of roughly 40 lol. And then often times they dont even sit 2 meters away from it because their room doesn't allow them to. And here you are making funny claims that "PPI" doesnt matter, lmao. Have you ever even tested it yourself? Are you really going to tell me that there is no difference between that and lets say a 1440p panel at the same size (55 inch) with a much higher PPI? Believe as you wish bro but pixels per inch does matter. A LOT.
@thedisplayguy if I want to buy a TV, struggling 48" vs 55", watching a lot of anime in 1080P it could be then the 55" will have a worse pics quality as the 48" ? or this is just stupid ? Pleas help
Then why are high-resolution computer monitors 150+ ppi? I would think when using a display as a computer monitor you would want to use an 8K TV since you can have 168 ppi. Most people site 24 inches or less from the screen and a 40 ppi or 80ppi screen would not be very sharp correct?
Actually we can. 1000 inch 4K panel vs 24 inch 1080p screen. Which one is more detailed and crisp? You tell me LMAO. Unless you are watching from across the street, the 4K one will look horrible with individual pixels almost the size of your head lol. Extreme example, but can you connect the dots yet why pixel density matters?
@@sebastianwehler3218 But you just played yourself. Size directly effects optimal viewing distance. You can't compare a 1000 inch display way inside it's optimal viewing distance to 24inch screen within optimal viewing distance. I don't want to do the maths, you move far enough away from that 1000 inch display and not only will the lower pixel density not be visible but the image will look sharper and more detailed, kind of like a cinema screen. 4k display will look better than a 1440p display, that's it. People are letting ppi trick then into thinking the reverse can be possible.
@@AVerySillySausage But since most people do not take the viewing distance into account, ppi does matter a lot. If you play down ppi, then you dont truly understand it. Real experts will tell you that pixel density matters most. Those who go above 24 inch with a 1080p panel shoot themselves in the foot due to worse image quality. The bigger you go, the worse the image quality gets. Why would anyone do that? Unless they dont know anything about it? There are people who bought 32 inch 1080p screens. Like whaaaat? Image is straight up horrible. Especially americans always think bigger is better but thats just not the case. If you had truly done your homework you would certainly NOT play down the importance of ppi.
What about PPi in TVs ? Ive got a 50" 4k 89ppi and looking at a 58" 4k 80ppi tv , . We play fornite on xbox series S on it aswell as watching tv etc . Would it be better to stick with the 50 ? Or would it not make a difference
That makes no sense at all. they are literally connected mathematically. ppi just gives abit more detail since it takes the size of the screen into a count.
24 inch FHD is on the edge of what is acceptable for productivity work. It is perfectly fine for gaming. 19-23inch is the sweet spot for FHD for non-gaming purposes. I just purchased a 24.5inch FHD monitor as a 4th monitor in my setup. Got it for $55 from newegg. 100Hz. 300 nits and 99% sRGB. Couldn't pass that up.
My guy if you're using a 4k tv as a monitor like I am, PPI matters alot lol. Esp if you like to scale down the window while gaming to get more clarity. I game at 1080p and 2k on my 4k monitor so I cannot fullscreen my 43 inch tv, otherwise everything looks blurry. I have to scale down the window to get a higher PPI so everything is more crystal clear.
Complete nonsense!!! I call this bs. PPI is literally pixels per inch. The more pixels you have the better sharpness you get no matter the setting. My eyes literally went bad because of my night shifts working on a gaming 1080p 24inch monitor and another one 2k 32 inch odyssey g7. No matter what settings I set them on, text was grainy as heck. I could hardly make a difference between i and t. For working people out there, please invest in high ppi monitors if you work with lots of texts - coding, governance, legal, supporting roles. There are affordable 4k on a 27inch which gives you 163 ppi, and that is great on your eyes.
Question, so a 49” 1440p and a 38” 1600p have simple PPI and viewing distance suggestions. For my my CRG9 is not crisp enough anymore, I was looking at the LG 38” 1600p monitors. Is this a big enough bump is resolution to make it looked better?
This is too much oversimplified, the answer is it depens on the usage. PPI does give you one thing: sharpness , and you need sharpness if you are a photographer-videographer, graphic designer, UX-UI designer, architect, CG artist, engineer, etc.. anything that needs PRECISION. In any of these professions, the goal of the ideal screen is to not be able to see the pixels from a work office distance of between 1.5 and 2 feet, that's it, for that you need a bare minimum of 110 ppi (27" 2k), 140ppi recommended (32" 4k)
So for the most important question of all, which one looks better 32 inch vs 27 inch at 4k. Does ppi tells you which one is better in the same reaolution?
@@thedisplayguy They do absolutely not look the same. The smaller one with the higher pixel density looks sharper and more crisp. With the bigger one you are forced to sit further away. Smaller one is still sharper due to smaller individual pixels.
Is the downgrade in image clarity from arm length distance at 2560x1440 going to be major jumping from 27" to 32"? I have a large desk so moving a larger monitor furhter back is no issue.
@@Lob-fb8my Well having moved from a single 27" monitor to 3 32" monitors, I can say the experience is much better overall. You get so much more room to do stuff, and sorting your files while they are open between screens helps a lot with reducing visual clutter. My right monitor is for media like Discord and Spotify. My left monitor is for stuff like youtube and at the angle it is, it makes a good screen to kick back and watch movies. My center screen is for gaming and everything else when I have no need for multiple things being open at once. Realistically I probably don't need more than 2 monitors, but given the choice, I wouldn't go back to a single. I often listen to youtube videos or music when playing games, so having multiple displays is really nice. My desk is about 75" across and the monitors reach both ends even though they are curved, You get so much room to work with, it's really nice. And having interactible wallpapers has a cool effect when it's mirrored on 3 screens.
I would say that’s mostly due to the sitting distance away from you. Your laptop will be closer to your face most times, so the pixelation doesn’t look as good as a tv sitting multiple feet away from you. I guess it’s just what you’re in the market for
Finally, Someone that has answered everything I wanted to hear! I almost feel like this video was made for me 😂 thank you good sir! You definitely have a large ppi
This video is just clickbait. The only reason you made this video is to be controversial and shocking so that people watch this video. PPI is exceptionally important. Its almost as impactful on the human eye as refresh rate.
Mega Pixel count in monitors 🤣🤣 What's wrong with this guy. The PPI is evaluated using a formula which has horizontal pixels, vertical pixels and the size of the monitor. PPI is the most accurate way of deciding monitors needed for our intended task. Made a video just for the sake of making a video.
lol it does matter. if it looks better it matters. yes the amount of detail is down to resolution but higher ppi displays do look better. This argument can be reversed. What does the actual resolution matter if it looks worse?
As I'm sorry, is this a fracking parody?!? This is outright misinformation or a lack of understanding about the technology even despite using the right words.
Y better tell me another thing.... Why thefck i dont see 4k 2k monitors with 24" 22" inches ?! Why i must buy 356643" huge gaming panel to have a 4k ? Why? I dont like big screens , and i dont want to seat for a mile from monitor for eye comfort. Give me fcking small sharp vision monitor with 4k and 200+ ppi
LG Ultra fine, Apple Studio Display, Samsung viewfinity S9 are great options, but all of them are limited to 60hz, and your PC must be compatible with Thunderbolt, that may be an issue.
query I have a 27 benq xl2720z 144hz 1080p 27 inch monitor the detail is that you cannot see enemies from a distance, well according to what I investigated it only has 81ppi pixel density I don't know whether it is good or bad the distance I am from the monitor is 80 cm, I have tried various grips and apparently the conclusion is that I do not notice enemies at a distance, this monitor has to customize the inch display from 17 to 24 inches when I change it to 23 inches in native 1080p I see even the small edge of the weapon and head of the enemy camped but not in the 27 inch, How can I solve it by being 1 meter away and playing it natively at 27 1080p or customizing it at 23 ich 1080p at 80cm away, which is the viewing distance I always use?
A lot of this comes down to viewing distance.. take the cinemas for an example, the front rows vs the back rows.. I think 95% of people would say the back rows would look more detail and sharper image vs the front rows Agree? even though it's the same resolution. This is why 1440p at 32" vs 1440p 27" the 27" would technically looks slightly sharper at the same viewing distance but once you change the viewing distance slight further back that argument goes out the window, Making the 32" screen looks just as sharp as the 27" screen
Not in my Experience...I have 1080p 21" and 24"...and the 24" looks blurry regardless of distance,I can go as far as 4-5 feet until i cant read but the 24" will still look blurry specially vector based content like text and games...21" look much better.
High PPI means higher resolution which in turns means great quality for the eyes. People are now used to iPhone, iPad, and Macs that have high PPI when viewing text, etc. Not one wants to see pixels in their text. Garbage screen. Give me high PPI, widescreen, OLED, and glossy. You will get my money.
Higher PPI does not always mean higher resolution sadly. I have a 55” screen that is much higher resolution but much lower PPI than a 27” screen. Yet it still looks much better.
@@thedisplayguy Let me rephrase that... The PPI has to be iPhone quality PPI, whereas the text looks crisp and clean. So, no matter the screen size, the minimum PPI should be that of an iPhone or similar device.
ppi is only good if were talking about same screen size, and even then thats just sharpness, cause if you have a 300 ppi monitor but its a tn display and a 100 ppi monitor thats oled, im positive the oled would look better. Going further we dont have gpus that can play at the resolution and framerate required for a good gamin session at 300 ppi given a standard 27-32" display
This is true, if a 50 inch TV has one pixel and the resolution is 4k, the image will be the same and look the same compared to a 50 inch TV with 8,294,400 pixels displaying a 4k image. It's all marketing scamming dumb people out of their hard earned money and piece of mind.

What's the PPI of a CRT monitor?
Sounds like an argument someone with a small ppi would make
💀💀💀
Kek 😂
He is talking Mega Pixels for monitors. Bruh is from another planet.
OK ngl brother, you got me on that one xD
Ppi definitely matters. If you were to compare the LG 45 inch oled monitor ti the QD oled 34 inch monitors, one important think is that even though the 45 inch is bigger, the ppi makes it a lot worse for text and stuff. 1080 at 24 inch is much more manageable at 24 than 27. Using the example of 32 inch 4K and 55 inch 4K is a big gap, and TVs are much bigger so you kinda have to sit far back.
Should I get the lg 39inch curved 1440p 240 hrz moniter if it has 95ppi 😅I feel like this moniter is pretty maxed out. Instead of no 4k and the ppi

That 1080p was ≈82 ppi and I think it is terrible for a monitor. 130 is spectacular in my opinion. I just ordered a 42 inch 4k 16:9 and I am scared of what 104 ppi will bring. Crossing my fingers.

@stevenbaker5917 you're gonna trust some random guy on the net. Make your own decisions.
At this point I'm convinced this is a parody channel. There's no way this guy doesn't understand the concept of pixel density.
He's right
WOW YOURE STUPID IF YOU THINK THAT.@@utilitymuffin.
no he's not.@@utilitymuffin.
Pixel density is useless. Say you play a game. Your character on a 4k display is going to be made up of more pixels than your character on a 1440p screen, therefore it's going to have a lot more detail. Doesn't matter if your 1440p screen is just 22" with an insane PPI, still each individual object is made up of way less pixels.
@@JustBenching a 22" 1440p has a higher pixel density then a 4k 43" and would absolutely look better then the 4k. The larger the screen the less pixels which is why you need to increase your resolution at bigger sizes. So pixel density is far from useless. You just don't understand how it works. Not a big deal, but you should learn about it...
I cannot disagree more. But let's say PPI alone is not everything.
So screen with less ppi count has more overall detail bc has higher res 😹 Ok 🤣
It would then all depends on the viewing distance 📏⚖📐
@@SP95Yes, ppi changes depending on the distance 😂 LOL 🤣
@@jarekzahary What did you not understand in the phrase " ppi ALONE is not everything " ?
@@SP95 what did you not understand in the phrase of " higher ppi = detailed and sharper image " ? xD
ppi is the most important thing for a monitor if you are aiming better image quality overall.
The only thing that matters: what do YOU prefer?
Was playing on 27" 1080p monitor for 5-6 years, as soon as affordable mini/microleds will be available gonna upgrade to... 27" 1080p high refresh rate monitor 😅
I can hear you never had two 32" monitors with different PPI standing next to each other.... when you get monitor close to er large screen with low PPI it just looks horrible with the lower PPI... I can maybe concede that over er certain ppi number (depending on screen size resolution and distance) you can't spot the difference anymore, but 69 ppi vs. 92 ppi on a 1440p 32" monitor, 70cm from your face will be night and day!
Lol
Yep. I own 3 monitors (43 inch 4k, 32 inch 2k, and 27 inch 1080p). PPI matters a ton when gaming lol.
You cannot be serious. PPI is absolutely important and makes a massive difference.
The first gen qdoled to the second generation of qdoled is a very significant upgrade in pixel aperture ratio, so the screen door effect (and the fringing!) is a lot less at a given distance. One thing most people also don't think about: even normal RGB subpixel displays have fringing, red on the left and blue on the right. Ppi is definitely something to think about but I agree with the general sentiment of the video that it's not as big of a deal as many people make it out to be. For example: krp-500m technically has the same ppi as any other 1080p 50" tv, but if you actually look at the pixels with a loupe or macro lens you will see that the pixel aperture ratio(the pixel fill) is insane, the black gaps between pixels are extremely tiny. So, the effective screen door effect on the vertical axis is actually even better than a 50" 4k tv. Ppi isn't telling the whole story.
A value that determines the detail and sharpness of the screen not as big of a deal 🤣 LOL 😂 Are you hearing yourself? 🤡
@@jarekzahary ppi doesn't determine detail or sharpness, it is just one part of determining how smooth(lacking visible pixels) the image looks. The steam deck display has like 200ppi or some shit and it's only 1280x800, meanwhile a 55" 4k tv has way less. Now you look goofy
I think you're kinda twisting the story a bit. I think PPI does matter, assuming the display takes up the same angle of your vision. Sure a 1080p 4 inch phone display can look as sharp as your 80 inch 4K TV, but walk closer to the TV or hold the phone closer and the balance shifts. It's dependent on how close you get with your screens on whether the issues are seen. It's why some say 1440p starts to look worse at 27 inches while others say it doesn't till 32 inches. It matters what angle of your vision the display takes up, not the size.
I’d disagree. No matter how close you get the 4K image just has way more data. It will always have more detail.
@thedisplayguy4858 even if it does have more detail, it doesn't show it to you. Its like if I have a dead pixel or spot on the screen. Back away a bit and it fully disappears. I know my display in front of me right now has a stuck sub pixel (stays red even on white images) on the right and 90% of the time its completely invisible. Doesn't matter if there's more detail if you can't see it. Not to mention many displays and services are lossy or have built in upscaling making them look completely identical.
This effect is even easier with modern games with heavy post processing. I don't think its hard to notice how games prior to this like an Assassin's Creed 4 or Halo MCC has this really crisp look while newer games look more hazy and blurred. There's no detail to be gained out of that. Where resolution still helps in modern games is more aliasing which is an issue unique to rendering compared to TV and movies. That's the one place you will always get an advantage. Just to prove a point, Linus from LTT couldn't tell the difference between native 4K footage of his show vs 1080p AI upscaled. In fact he said he sometimes thought the AI looked better. It kinda proves what people see is the sharpness, not the details.
The pixel density matters for how close you can sit next to the display and it not he pixelated. 27" you can sit with a foot of it and have no pixelation at 1440p. 42" 4k screen you will need more like 20" of distance to not have pixelation.
@@thedisplayguyA less sharp screen with..... more detail 😂 LMAO 🤣 You made my day 😆
@@Skylancer727ven if sharper screen has more....... detail xDDD LOL 🤣 But what to be surprised after someone who gives as an example of linus, who knows nothing about the screens 😂 People see is the sharpness, not the details 😹 LMFAO 😸
PPI definitely matters for text clarity and if you're coding or writing all day should be a priority.
I disagree, higher ppi is important if you wanna have a good quality image, ofc if you compare a 42" FHD tv vs 42"QHDtv watching them far away you will not notice the diference, but pc monitor are close to you so notice the diference between 27fhd vs 27qhd will be instantly.
I think it should be compared with same resolution
yeah, people talk alot about ppi but forget about sitting distance, which I would argue is more important.
PPI determines how close you sit from a monitor, and still get the same quality. The further you are from the screen the smaller the screen appears. A 32" screen at 1080p vs a 24" 1080p equals sitting at 49" vs 37" to get the same viewing quality and the size of the screen will look pretty much the same size at those respective distances. Are you going to change the distance you view at? If not then PPI matters a lot.
Game Boy, clearly you aren't a Mac productivity user where 218 PPI (HiPPI) provides sharp text vs. the +/- 100 PPI displays.
Absolutely no one or very few is realizing that resolution (the amount or number of total horizontal and vertical lines) and pixel density (ppi/dpi) are basically 2 opposite characteristics if the area rule is broken. I repeat: pixel density is ANOTHER independent FEATURE. And this one, is correlated between the pixels or cubes and the space it occupies in it if you keep the same size of that area or frame, as you like to say. Having more detail (more horizontal and vertical lines) in an image such as a circumference for example, is synonymous to having more information in that object. What happens is that the image is composed for a major number of pixels or cubes. It has more information/details but, if we don't keep the same size of the frame.... Then it won't look more defined or smooth because the cubes are bigger and it won't look as good. On the other hand, if we keep that increased amount of pixels and keep the same area size, we make them smaller so that they occupy that amount. NOW we WOULD get more detail/information in an image and at the same time we would see smoother or sharper those details, comprised in cubes.
Finally, I want to mention that viewing distance and visual acuity are not characteristics of the screen itself. But 2 factors that is about the person: it is about what distance is to visualize those objects and on the other hand, how much tolerance or experience that user has if he can recognize more details in that object and other elements within an already prerendered scenario. There will be more or less information depending on: the number of horizontal and vertical lines, the screen physically has. I think the title and the use of words at the beginning of the video were not the best choice. It is a complex subject if you don't use the right words to explain, with the purpose. So that people understand and engrave these concepts in their heads.
Thanks for the effort, The Display Guy, I send you greetings and a big hug from Madrid! (Spain)
If resolution was more important than PPI, then DLDSR-ing a 2560x1440p display into a 3840x2160p resolution would make the display look the same as a native 3840x2160p display. However, this is obviously not how it looks as it just results in the image being blurry, that blurriness giving the illusion of a better resolution and less pixelation.
That has everything to do with your actual resolution and nothing to do with PPI.
@@thedisplayguyyou're high if you don't understand they go hand in hand..
All the people in these comments either didn’t listen to what he is saying or don’t understand what he is saying. Everything Said in this video is true.
I tried to be as thorough and fair as possible!
I mean, his own arguments actually show that pixel density does matter. You can't say it doesn't then explain how for two displays of the same resolution the smaller one will look sharper at the same distance due to its higher pixel density.
PPI is important when you want to buy a screen that will allow you to avoid scaling. In Linux fractional scaling is PITA. From the ergonomic perspective you want to sit around ~80cm from the screen. For that distance ~100ppi is nice, ~110ppi for some (it's a 27"1440p), but on 32"4K things may be way to small. Then you need scaling therefore loosing "real estate" + it works awful on Linux. So even that I agree, that you can sit further away it's not the thing other way around. You cannot sit with your nose touching the screen. Knowing current monitor PPI one may know if the new monitor will deliver the interface size similar to the current one.
Everybody arguing that PPI is a good measurement fail to understand the fact that physically moving your monitor closer or further back only one inch has more of a visual effect than actual PPI, and they are probably sitting way too close to their monitor to begin with.. the most important attributes to look for are the distance that you're going to be sitting from the monitor, the resolution, the overall size, the feature set.
Exactly, and that is why the metric should not be PPI, but something like:
"perceived PPI at intended distance of X centimeters".
So when looking at some 27" screen at, say, 70 cm, the PPI is 100, but when looking at this 24" at, say, 60 cm, the PPI is also 100.
Imagine holding your fingers in front of your eyes and keeping a space between the fingers of 1 inch. How many pixels do you experience? That is a more interesting measure of PPI. Human-perceived PPI.
The metric should reflect the human experience somewhat reasonably.
Dude, I see pixels on my 21.5 inch 1080p monitor even while sitting 60 cm away. In order to not see the pixelation, I would have to sit about 90 cm away, at which point the perceived size of the monitor would become way too small (the text would be almost impossible to read too, but that can be solved using windows scaling). The same applies to 1440p 27" and 2160p 43" screens which have approximately the same PPI. By moving farther away you can solve the pixelation issue but the screen would take up too little of your FOV. And most people wouldn't want that. The only way to get a beautiful smooth image and at the same time enjoy the feeling of a large screen is to buy a screen with a larger PPI. So PPI clearly does matter more.
@@sweet_kronayeah these people are amazingly stupid including the video itself .....
@@sweet_krona EXACTLY. Nailed it. Its actually one of the most important things when choosing a monitor. Obviously only to those who understand it lol
@@fjorddenierbear4832 That's a perfect where to put it, thanks.
For most PC gamers, they're right in front of their desks, so PPI matters because the distance from the screen isn't changing. That being said, you're completely correct on all the non subjective things you said.
The comments are just full of dbags.
A 27 inch 1440p screen looks way worse than a 55 inch 4k screen? LMAOOO I have a 27 inch 1440p (109 PPI) and a 43 inch 4k (102 PPI) screen side by side and they look pretty much the same.
Id be ashamed to still have "the display guy" as my username after uploading this video tbh.
disagree, ppi IS important. I got an Ips 1440p 23.8" 165hz (128ppi) monitor and it Looks INSANELY sharper and more detailed than my alienware aw2723df 280hz 1440p 27" Ips (109ppi)
You just proved the guys point in the video. Basically, what you're doing is moving the image further from your face, so you see less. Going from a larger screen to a smaller one with the same resolution is the exact same thing as moving the same size monitor away from you.
@@doomzstrafe2749 both monitors sit exactly at 33cm from my eyes, i dont know what you re on about
I think you're completely wrong, Been doing research on this and Pixel Density 100% matters, sure if you're sitting all the way across the room it might not matter, But when you're sitting at a desk a foot and a half from your screen it certainly does matter & a lot. And the larger the screen the less pixels the larger you go in size you need to up the quality to 1440 or 4k depending on how large. From what i've gathered, a 24" 1080 is fine at a 92ppi, if you go larger to 27" you're going want to go to 1440p at 109ppi otherwise it will fall below 92ppi if you remain at 1080p & look terrible. Same goes for when you go larger. a 43" 4k only has 104ppi and will look less clear then a 1440p 27"... Not by much, but anything below 109 can be noticed and below 85 looks horrible. So if you have a large 50" tv at 1080p it's going to look like trash and have a ppi of below 60 and look blocky as heck.
I use a 23" Ultrawide, 2560 x 1080P, 120 PPI, I sit 1.5 feet away. I can't go back to anything less.
It’s almost like science can quantify the human visual acuity and determine the proper pixel density for a given display size and viewing distance. Oh wait, it can and has been doing that for decades!
For a TV that’s 10’ away from the viewer, 90ppi may be good enough, but if you’re 1m away from the display, you’ll absolutely be able to see the individual pixels in anything less than 150ppi. We use PPI instead of resolution because it accounts for the difference in display sizes and makes an excellent metric for comparison.
You should make a video about the differences in quality and bitrate when it comes to streaming 4K content versus a 4K UHD Blu Ray disc. I feel like a lot of people still stream 1080p content on their 4K displays lol.
There’s so much bad information out there. 😂😂😂
@@lidorori😂
I plan to get the lg c3 and a lot of people say to get the LG c3 42 over the 48 because it has more ppi but I dunno the same price for a larger monitor's nice especially if I'm viewing movies/anime more than gaming(using for computer monitor). Thanks for the video! I really appreciate it
You can use DLDSR to increase the render resolution of games that are running on a display with a lower resolution but high PPI. Once you match the render resolution, the lower resolution higher PPI display will look better than the higher resolution display with a lower PPI.
But ppi doesn't matter 🤣
Not true lol, have you actually tried this?
The ppi will still stay the same but the quality would increase due to the higher render resolution
1:40 your monitor is less than 50cm away from you while the 4K tv usually sit 2-3m away from your eyes, of course it will looks sharper.
Ppi matter when you what things to look good at a certain distance.
Have your phone 30cm away from your eyes, the one with higher ppi will look sharper.
It not just marketing nonsense, ppi does matter according to your viewing distance. for example smartphone need 300 or more ppi for better, monitor need 160-200 ppi or more for better and TV may need 100 ppi or more for better The higher PPI you have, the closer you can use the display without noticing the individual pixel embedded on the display. choose wisely for your purpose. for monitor or TV 27 inch 4k gives 163 dpi, which is sweet spot for both.
What are you even rambling about? PPI literally stands for Pixels Per Inch. It plays a crucial role in image definition, particularly when discussing display quality without factoring in upscaling technologies. I understand the point you are trying to make, but it is important to emphasize that PPI directly determines the pixel density of a display. For instance, approaching a large, low-PPI television displaying a game at 4K resolution can result in noticeably diminished image clarity. This is why PPI becomes especially significant when using a monitor at a desk, where the viewing distance is minimal.
For instance, a 22" monitor at 1080p resolution will offer a much sharper image when viewed up close compared to a 27" monitor at the same resolution, even if the latter is placed farther away. The difference is huge. With a larger monitor, one must either maintain a greater distance, resulting in diminished detail perception due to human visual limitations, or move closer, where the lack of pixel density becomes apparent and compromises image sharpness. In contrast, a smaller, higher-PPI display provides a sharper image at close range, which is why PPI MATTERS A LOT. In fact, you should be more worried about PPI than resolution.
8k is when we stop talking ppi and pepe
PPI is literally a function of resolution and display size.
It is EXTREMELY important when comparing which monitor is best from a SIZE perspective.
PPI is why you dont want to buy a 32 or 42inch 1080p monitor. The pixel density is just too low.
PPI is also why when you buy a 4k laptop that is very tiny you must scale to get readable text.
For .e the most comfortable way to read text from a distabce of abiut 3 feet is 113ppi. So i know that if i buy a monitor that can only out out 75 or 80ppi based on its size snd the native resolution i will not be happy and therefore i will need to go UP in resolution to get more pixels. PPI is used by big brains to optimize what they buy for their use case.
I assume you think pixel pitch / dotch pitch is irrelevant too haha.
Bottom line saying PPI is irrelevant shows a lack of understanding. Ive got 4 monitors with different resolutions hooke up to my computer. Ive got them all scaled appropriately so text is perfect for my eyes. This can only be calculated by referring to PPI since as i stated before it is a direct function of resolution and screen size.
I have 2 monitors 27 inch 1440 p and 24 inch 1440 p and 24 inch is so much sharper its amazing.This video is bs
EXACTLY, thats because of the smaller individual pixels which adds to clarity and sharpness. Simple as that.
@@sebastianwehler3218 That's exactly what PPI is, dude. Pixels per inch. Smaller individual pixels = more pixels per inch.
BUT PPI DOESNT MATTER DURRR.
@@TheBeelzeboss Of course PPI matters. It's one of the most important factors when buying a panel. This is what every true expert will tell you. Can you imagine there are actually people who bought a 55 inch 1080p screen? That's a PPI of roughly 40 lol. And then often times they dont even sit 2 meters away from it because their room doesn't allow them to. And here you are making funny claims that "PPI" doesnt matter, lmao. Have you ever even tested it yourself? Are you really going to tell me that there is no difference between that and lets say a 1440p panel at the same size (55 inch) with a much higher PPI?

Then why are high-resolution computer monitors 150+ ppi? I would think when using a display as a computer monitor you would want to use an 8K TV since you can have 168 ppi. Most people site 24 inches or less from the screen and a 40 ppi or 80ppi screen would not be very sharp correct?
You can’t compare a 4K tv to a 1440p monitor.. 😂

Actually we can. 1000 inch 4K panel vs 24 inch 1080p screen. Which one is more detailed and crisp? You tell me LMAO. Unless you are watching from across the street, the 4K one will look horrible with individual pixels almost the size of your head lol. Extreme example, but can you connect the dots yet why pixel density matters?
@@sebastianwehler3218 But you just played yourself. Size directly effects optimal viewing distance. You can't compare a 1000 inch display way inside it's optimal viewing distance to 24inch screen within optimal viewing distance. I don't want to do the maths, you move far enough away from that 1000 inch display and not only will the lower pixel density not be visible but the image will look sharper and more detailed, kind of like a cinema screen. 4k display will look better than a 1440p display, that's it. People are letting ppi trick then into thinking the reverse can be possible.
@@AVerySillySausage But since most people do not take the viewing distance into account, ppi does matter a lot. If you play down ppi, then you dont truly understand it. Real experts will tell you that pixel density matters most. Those who go above 24 inch with a 1080p panel shoot themselves in the foot due to worse image quality. The bigger you go, the worse the image quality gets. Why would anyone do that? Unless they dont know anything about it? There are people who bought 32 inch 1080p screens. Like whaaaat? Image is straight up horrible. Especially americans always think bigger is better but thats just not the case. If you had truly done your homework you would certainly NOT play down the importance of ppi.
You must have some messed up glasses or something. Clarity at a PPI your machine can handle is worth looking into.

What about PPi in TVs ? Ive got a 50" 4k 89ppi and looking at a 58" 4k 80ppi tv , . We play fornite on xbox series S on it aswell as watching tv etc . Would it be better to stick with the 50 ? Or would it not make a difference
That makes no sense at all. they are literally connected mathematically. ppi just gives abit more detail since it takes the size of the screen into a count.
ppi is really useful. That's what make the retina display in macbook
Is 1080p good at 27 inch with 81 ppi ? PLEASE reply
no 27 inch is 1440p minimum
A 24 inch 1080p doesn't look so good. With 27 inches, I would personally go 4k. And I would now only update my screen for a 24 inch 1440p.
24 inch FHD is on the edge of what is acceptable for productivity work. It is perfectly fine for gaming. 19-23inch is the sweet spot for FHD for non-gaming purposes.
I just purchased a 24.5inch FHD monitor as a 4th monitor in my setup. Got it for $55 from newegg. 100Hz. 300 nits and 99% sRGB. Couldn't pass that up.
If you're gaming, then 1080p at 27 is perfect unless your face is against your monitor.
1080p at 27inch should be banned unless you watch it from the other side of the room.
My guy if you're using a 4k tv as a monitor like I am, PPI matters alot lol. Esp if you like to scale down the window while gaming to get more clarity. I game at 1080p and 2k on my 4k monitor so I cannot fullscreen my 43 inch tv, otherwise everything looks blurry. I have to scale down the window to get a higher PPI so everything is more crystal clear.
Interesting take, never thought of it that way
Complete nonsense!!! I call this bs.
PPI is literally pixels per inch. The more pixels you have the better sharpness you get no matter the setting.
My eyes literally went bad because of my night shifts working on a gaming 1080p 24inch monitor and another one 2k 32 inch odyssey g7. No matter what settings I set them on, text was grainy as heck. I could hardly make a difference between i and t.
For working people out there, please invest in high ppi monitors if you work with lots of texts - coding, governance, legal, supporting roles. There are affordable 4k on a 27inch which gives you 163 ppi, and that is great on your eyes.
Question, so a 49” 1440p and a 38” 1600p have simple PPI and viewing distance suggestions. For my my CRG9 is not crisp enough anymore, I was looking at the LG 38” 1600p monitors. Is this a big enough bump is resolution to make it looked better?
This is too much oversimplified, the answer is it depens on the usage. PPI does give you one thing: sharpness , and you need sharpness if you are a photographer-videographer, graphic designer, UX-UI designer, architect, CG artist, engineer, etc.. anything that needs PRECISION. In any of these professions, the goal of the ideal screen is to not be able to see the pixels from a work office distance of between 1.5 and 2 feet, that's it, for that you need a bare minimum of 110 ppi (27" 2k), 140ppi recommended (32" 4k)
PPI very obviously does matter
aliasing is my number one nemesis tho
PPI MATTERS
Thank you !!!
Adverts really paying for space anywhere huh
So for the most important question of all, which one looks better 32 inch vs 27 inch at 4k. Does ppi tells you which one is better in the same reaolution?
They look the same. I just prefer the larger screen of 32”.
What about an oled c2 42" compared to a samsung 32" gq950. Which one would be clear? Thanks.
@@thedisplayguy They do absolutely not look the same. The smaller one with the higher pixel density looks sharper and more crisp. With the bigger one you are forced to sit further away. Smaller one is still sharper due to smaller individual pixels.
Is the downgrade in image clarity from arm length distance at 2560x1440 going to be major jumping from 27" to 32"? I have a large desk so moving a larger monitor furhter back is no issue.
why change?
@@Lob-fb8my Well having moved from a single 27" monitor to 3 32" monitors, I can say the experience is much better overall. You get so much more room to do stuff, and sorting your files while they are open between screens helps a lot with reducing visual clutter. My right monitor is for media like Discord and Spotify.
My left monitor is for stuff like youtube and at the angle it is, it makes a good screen to kick back and watch movies. My center screen is for gaming and everything else when I have no need for multiple things being open at once. Realistically I probably don't need more than 2 monitors, but given the choice, I wouldn't go back to a single.
I often listen to youtube videos or music when playing games, so having multiple displays is really nice. My desk is about 75" across and the monitors reach both ends even though they are curved, You get so much room to work with, it's really nice. And having interactible wallpapers has a cool effect when it's mirrored on 3 screens.
It's not PPI. It's ppi!
So dpi matters!! 😃
I completely agree. My 4K TV has a lower PPI than my 1080p laptop screen, but the TV looks much better
I would say that’s mostly due to the sitting distance away from you. Your laptop will be closer to your face most times, so the pixelation doesn’t look as good as a tv sitting multiple feet away from you. I guess it’s just what you’re in the market for
guys should I go for a 24'' or 27'' at 1080p?
They are basically the same thing. If you tend to sit super close to your monitor 24 is probably better. 27 is better in every other way.
Finally, Someone that has answered everything I wanted to hear! I almost feel like this video was made for me 😂 thank you good sir! You definitely have a large ppi
Do you like to hear bs talk so much? 🤣
So look for resolution not ppi,ppi is waste,only when the resolution is same for two screens then ppi might be considered by you
Should i get a samsung 144hz 3840×1080 over dell 60hz 5120×1440??
I would go with higher frame rates if ur gpu can handle it, personally 60hz it’s to slow imo

PPI is exceptionally important. Its almost as impactful on the human eye as refresh rate.
It is important he was jus sayn resolution is more important which I agree
Mega Pixel count in monitors 🤣🤣 What's wrong with this guy. The PPI is evaluated using a formula which has horizontal pixels, vertical pixels and the size of the monitor. PPI is the most accurate way of deciding monitors needed for our intended task. Made a video just for the sake of making a video.
Actually I use a 55 c1 in of the table because I don't have to focus as close so I don't strain as much because of the focus point
So basicaly games will look better 49’’ 5120x1440p ultrawide monitor or a 34’’ 3440x1440p ultrawide(both have almost the same ppi)
They will look exactly the same
lol it does matter. if it looks better it matters. yes the amount of detail is down to resolution but higher ppi displays do look better. This argument can be reversed. What does the actual resolution matter if it looks worse?
I don't want to see any pixels in 2024 i want my monitor or tv smooth as my smart phone why would anyone settle for less and pay for more?
The dissplay guy
Great video it made perfect sense
In Mac it is important for crisp text tho.
Yes higher PPI means less aliasing. This is the only benefit, and the only reason to discuss it really.
itssss true my 65" 4k tv looks faar better than 27" 1440p g7 monitor😮😮😮😮😮.. dude is not lying at all
As I'm sorry, is this a fracking parody?!? This is outright misinformation or a lack of understanding about the technology even despite using the right words.
Y better tell me another thing.... Why thefck i dont see 4k 2k monitors with 24" 22" inches ?! Why i must buy 356643" huge gaming panel to have a 4k ? Why? I dont like big screens , and i dont want to seat for a mile from monitor for eye comfort. Give me fcking small sharp vision monitor with 4k and 200+ ppi
LG Ultra fine, Apple Studio Display, Samsung viewfinity S9 are great options, but all of them are limited to 60hz, and your PC must be compatible with Thunderbolt, that may be an issue.
So dpi matters! 😃
We need 32" 16k480.
query I have a 27 benq xl2720z 144hz 1080p 27 inch monitor the detail is that you cannot see enemies from a distance, well according to what I investigated it only has 81ppi pixel density I don't know whether it is good or bad the distance I am from the monitor is 80 cm, I have tried various grips and apparently the conclusion is that I do not notice enemies at a distance, this monitor has to customize the inch display from 17 to 24 inches when I change it to 23 inches in native 1080p I see even the small edge of the weapon and head of the enemy camped but not in the 27 inch, How can I solve it by being 1 meter away and playing it natively at 27 1080p or customizing it at 23 ich 1080p at 80cm away, which is the viewing distance I always use?
A lot of this comes down to viewing distance.. take the cinemas for an example, the front rows vs the back rows.. I think 95% of people would say the back rows would look more detail and sharper image vs the front rows Agree? even though it's the same resolution. This is why 1440p at 32" vs 1440p 27" the 27" would technically looks slightly sharper at the same viewing distance but once you change the viewing distance slight further back that argument goes out the window, Making the 32" screen looks just as sharp as the 27" screen
Not in my Experience...I have 1080p 21" and 24"...and the 24" looks blurry regardless of distance,I can go as far as 4-5 feet until i cant read but the 24" will still look blurry specially vector based content like text and games...21" look much better.
you dont get it bro. peace @@DarkPhychic
Some of these comments are truly small brain
High PPI means higher resolution which in turns means great quality for the eyes. People are now used to iPhone, iPad, and Macs that have high PPI when viewing text, etc. Not one wants to see pixels in their text. Garbage screen. Give me high PPI, widescreen, OLED, and glossy. You will get my money.
Higher PPI does not always mean higher resolution sadly. I have a 55” screen that is much higher resolution but much lower PPI than a 27” screen.
Yet it still looks much better.
@@thedisplayguy Let me rephrase that... The PPI has to be iPhone quality PPI, whereas the text looks crisp and clean. So, no matter the screen size, the minimum PPI should be that of an iPhone or similar device.
@@vette4life518 So you sit in front of the monitor at the same distance 📏 as from 📱 that you need such a high ppi? xDDD
@@jarekzahary well, every pixel counts for how I bring in the cash... I'd rather have too man than too few... Hence my small XDR.
@@vette4life518 it's waste 🗑
Did u really just woke up and decide to do a nonsense video ? Lol
ppi is only good if were talking about same screen size, and even then thats just sharpness, cause if you have a 300 ppi monitor but its a tn display and a 100 ppi monitor thats oled, im positive the oled would look better. Going further we dont have gpus that can play at the resolution and framerate required for a good gamin session at 300 ppi given a standard 27-32" display
Thanks for your opinion, I guess.
So many bad takes. I will also guarantee this guy is not higher than gold in any competitive game.
Wrong on both ;)
nice counter argument :^)
is that you saying he actually has a social life and doesn't sit in the basement for 10 hours a day?
@@MarcusS103 Would you make purchasing decisions by tips from an amateur?
I can't count how many times I've found myself trying to tell people this exact same thing.
The screen with less ppi count has more overall detail bc has higher res 😹 Ok 🤣
That’s like saying 49” 5120x1440 will look better than 34” 3440x1440 because it has a higher resolution when they have the same PPI 🤡
This is true, if a 50 inch TV has one pixel and the resolution is 4k, the image will be the same and look the same compared to a 50 inch TV with 8,294,400 pixels displaying a 4k image. It's all marketing scamming dumb people out of their hard earned money and piece of mind.
Can't agree more - resolution is more important than ppi. Higher 👆 res = more pixels which means more details, regardless of the PPI.
You have no idea what you are talking about
😮I might be first this time
