PC + Monitor

one good sample of a lesser density pixel in comparison to a higher density pixel.

if you draw a line diagonally, on a lesser density pixel, you`ll see stairs, yep, not a line, but boxes arranged like a stair. but on a higher density pixel, you`d see an almost straight line, the denser it is, the more tiny boxes you could fit on that line.

think of the image as if each box is a monitor with the numbers on top is the pixel count, aka resolution.

Osmo:
Thank you for the comments people.

I know it's lazy of me to ask but could you guys put up monitors that are better then the one I put up?
I want to spend £200 - £300

what screen size do you prefer? or rather, how would you use the monitor, as a movie monitor? or as a desktop gaming monitor?

movie monitor tends to be viewed from quite a distance, 2-4meters away mostly. while gaming monitor gets a little near, less than 2meters, 1meter at best, some even at half a meter.

[£674.48]Dell UltraSharp U2711 Black 27" 6ms HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor with PremierColor 350

[£220.97]Dell U2311 23 inch Widescreen IPS Panel LCD Monitor

[£320.94]ASUS VE278Q 27 inch LED Widescreen Full HD 1080p with HDMI Display Port 2ms Response Time Picture in Picture

this is what my preference is, 21.5"-23" is just right as a gaming monitor, while its a bit small as a movie monitor. 27"-32" is just right as a movie monitor, but a bit too big as a gaming monitor.

well, if you want a big screen that much, try and find a projector with 1920x1080p or 1280x720p at least as a resolution, you could get like 100" screen out of it.

PS: why the F*** are the good monitors priced too freaking high, can't even find a 27" 2560x1440 res under £500.

zat0x91:
Don't bother using a TV as a monitor otherwise have fun with that 50ms+ input lag or reduced image quality to compensate (somewhat) for that.  Plus the lack of space compared to the pixels that you should have will probably be annoying.

You'd probably want to get a 24" IPS Dell Ultrasharp.

First off 16:9 is retarded for a computer resolution - especially if you're going for that size.

Second they're expensive because they use IPS panels rather than cheap and shitty TN panels.  I'd personally take my friends Dell U2311 over my spare shitty Samsung 26" TN panel.
