So I have an existing 24” (23.8”) 1080p monitor. I want to buy a 2nd one. But if I want to buy a 27” (for bigger screen) it’ll need to be 1440p. This means different resolutions powered by my laptop (mainly work and some video watching use case). Is it ok to mix and match resolutions and screen size or should both be the same resolutions and screen size?

Is it practical to use monitors with different resolutions?

My use case is home office, setup powered by my 5 years old i5 laptop.

you can certainly mix-and-match display sizes and resolutions. the system i am typing on now has 24in 16:9 and 19in 5:4. i am constantly flipping which screen or both (or neither, for that matter--there are other things connected to other inputs on them) is active on this pc
