What screen size recommended for PC monitor?
Hi, was wondering what opinions people had on the best size for a monitor for PC use at 1080p. Mostly photoshop, some gaming, as the usual web browsing. I have already purchased a HP 25xw monitor from Staples last week on sale for 200.

It is very clear imho, and a good price when on sale for $100 off. My concern is that the 27" version went on sale this week for $250.

My concern is that usually prefer the largest screen available for viewing. However, is it a good idea to go 27" when the max resolution I can output is 1080p. I will be using monitor as an external for my laptop with an additional external keyboard to give me a proper work station when I do not feel like staring at a 15.6" screen. So far the 25" seems very clear to me, is it worth extra $50 to go to 27", or would the benefit of extra screen size be lost to a worse PPI count? Also, curious was screen size most people are using now, and what their ideal screen size would be. I read that anything over 23" should be higher then 1080p, so at 25" I may already be pushing it.
Thanks for your opinions.
