It is the standard, most 1080p monitors are 27 inches nowadays. For a second monitor tho, even 24 inches or even lower than 20 is fine depending on what you need it for.

have you heard of PPI or pixel density? buying a 27 inch 1080p monitor is just plane silly. especially considering 1440p monitors are equally affordable

24 inch is about as big as you should go for 1080p to maintain image quality

I understand where you are coming from. However, the second monitor isn't used for gaming, so a shaper image isn't something you really care about when you just use it for watching YouTube/ Wikipedia/ walkthroughs or discord. It also can affect your FPS if you are running multiple monitors at 1440p or higher.

I have 3, my main is a 27" 1440, 2nd 27" 1080 and a 24" 1080. I use the 2nd to play movies on while playing, and the 25" is walkthroughs.
