Black Bars on a 27inch to feel like a 24.5inch ?

[Ganja]

Hey Guys, if I'm in the wrong section, I'm sorry but maybe someone can help me here.

I always played on a 24.5 inch 1080p monitor and recently upgraded to a 27 inch 1440p. But in games the 27 inch just feels to big for me.

So i wondered if it's possible to just use a custom resolution of like 2330x1310 with Black Bars so that it feels like the size of a 24.5inch monitor ?

Are there any disadvantages or does it change the sensitivity, the feeling ?

Thanks

Provided you changed all scaling off in the gpu control panel, a 27 inch monitor with a custom res of 2323 x 1307, would be the "same" experience as a 24.5 inch monitor.

Perhaps I should expand on this. so in a 3D game there would be a change in pixel density for the image clarity compared to your 1080p monitor,, but no other real change of any note to how it feels except you visually have some black around your image which you may not have been used to before. But on the desktop, the cursor speed would change relative to the displayed screen size, since, for example, 6/11 always moves one pixel for each count, and 24.5 1080p has a different pixel density than effective 24.5 "1307p"
