Will I see a percieved difference in IQ between my current 1920x1080 screen and 2560 x 1600

I know this may be pretty basic stuff. Apparently I Cant up grade my graphics card to full 4K.
So the screen will be limited to 2560 x 1600.
I just wondered, where I currently say zoom in am I seeing all the pixels on A RAW image from the 5D3 and just scrolling around that. Or will I actually see the image more clearly at a pixel level?

Hope that makes sense.

Obviously I will also get a certified colour balance to 99%. So that will be an advantage.

Any views / help appreciated

Well. One thing is for certain. You will need to adjust your eyes to seeing smaller icons...

I assume you're talking about native screen resolution of the output display; if the native resolution of the display doesn't match your chosen card output resolution (or at least isn't an integer multiple of that), things will look fuzzy when, e.g., 1 image pixel takes up 1.5 display pixels. You can get an idea of this by changing the output resolution on your current video adapter and display to, say, 1680x900.

If you zoom in to 100% it doesn't matter what the screen resolution is as far as the individual pixels are concerned; you'll be seeing the individual pixels on either screen resolution. Just on the 2560x1600 pixel screen you'll see more of them, so a larger part of your image. They'll probably also be smaller (assuming nearly the same physical sized monitor), so you may perceive things as sharper.

Don't assume you'll automatically get a 99% colour balance with a new monitor - if you want to get correct colours, you'll need to run a calibration tool (at regular intervals) against your display card and monitor.

The whole purpose of increasing screen resolution has to do with viewing distance. Like Jon said, zooming in 100% is not going to change things.

As a general rule, increasing resolution helps decrease the distance you need to be from the screen to gain a 'nice' image. However, as you increase resolution it's a good idea to increase screen size.

It's kind of the whole point of increasing resolution... so we can have movie theater sized screens 6 feet from our face. We're all going blind, anyway. Why not?

Thanks guys
So my suspicions were right.

Or, so that you can get close enough to a 27" monitor to fill up most of your field of view without seeing individual pixels.

I noticed a huge difference when I switched to a 2560 x 1600 monitor. If you like to get your nose right up into your work when editing, it's great. But if your face is never going to be closer than three or four feet from your monitor, it doesn't make much difference.

Thanks fornthe info much appreciated.
