New Monitor opinion/advice

[DoolittleRaider]

I am planning a New Rig. My last monitor has died on me...it was a 2007-era Samsung 244T 24 Inch 1920X1200 LCD monitor which worked perfectly for me and my Flight Simming needs (until it died). Excellent image quality, colors, response times etc.

Researching current state-of-the-art Monitors, I've discovered that LED's are the thing now, at 1920X1080 native resolution, and one of the very best, highly reviewed/recommended monitors is the Viewsonic 27” VX2753MH LED with 1 ms response, and 30,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, but only 0.311 pixel pitch. Roughly $330 plus tax and/or shipping

Alternatively, the Viewsonic VX2453MH-LED 24-Inch LED monitor with the same 30,000,000:1 Dynamic contrast ratio, slower but still excellent 2Ms response, and a 'better' pixel pitch at 0.27. Approximately $200.

As I understand it, the larger 27" monitors because of the larger pixel pitch size are actually blurrier when viewed from the same distance as the 24 inch monitors with smaller pixel size.

My question is: Is it really worth going for a Larger Monitor screen size of 27 inches if I need to sit farther back from it to attain the same sharpness as a 24 inch monitor??? I am only concerned with Flight SImming and other Gaming use, not concerned with a larger screen to simultaneously display more documents or othehr such 'business' stuff.

I'll try to set up a poll if I figure out how to do that.
