Hi Guys
I have been using a 24" monitor for a while now but I want to upgrade it to a 27".
Does anyone use Sonar on a 27" monitor and if so how does it look?
Thanks
Alan
 

I think the aspect ratio determines your "look" more than the size. I use two monitors one is 4:3 and one is 16:9. I put the console view on the 4:3 to capture the full height of the console strips without having to scroll. I put the track view on the 16:9 which gives a little extra width so the inspector and browser don't take too much screen real estate. They are both close to 24" and I have no complaints, I see what I need to see pretty well.
Your best "upgrade" would be getting a second monitor - going from 24" to 27" doesn't really seem like much of an upgrade to me, imho.

Thanks Steve understood.

fwiw this is the graphics card I have and it supports three monitors. one is VGA one is HDMI and one is DVI-D I use the VGA for one monitor and since there isn't an HDMI on the second monitor I got an HDMI to VGA converter pretty cheap . Sonar didn't require any extra setup for the two monitor system - it used both monitors no problems

Several years back, I moved to use HDTV's for my display monitors, rather than the traditional computer monitors.  I get WAY more screen for the money that way.  Most, if not all, motherboards these days come with HDMI ports, so I connect up my primary display with the HDMI port, and then I have a 2nd or at times even a 3rd display hooked up to either VGA or DVI ports.
 
My current computer's CPU has built-in graphics, and my primary is a 43" HDTV I picked up for $250, and my 2nd display is a 32" HDTV I picked up for $199.  By using HDMI for the primary and the DVI for the 2nd one, it works flawlessly.
 
As a bonus, the on-board audio from the motherboard gets sent through the HDMI cable to the HDTV, so I let the tv's speakers play the Windows audio (YouTube, Media Player, etc).
 
(Edited to add) - Windows is quite happy to support multiple displays, and so is Sonar.  I normally will have the Track Pane on my primary display, and I have the Console View on the 2nd display.  You can just drag stuff from one display to the other (and back again if you want to), and not only that, but in Windows, you can tell Windows which screen is on the left or right, or even have it function as if one if above or below the other - this makes it so that when you drag the mouse off of one display, it will then appear on the 2nd display as if they were both connected, making it a logically smooth change from one to the other).  What I mean is that for MY setup, my 2nd screen is actually on the left of my primary display.  By telling Windows which screen is on which side of the other, it can then make it so if I drag my mouse off the primary screen moving to the left, then it properly picks up the mouse on the 2nd display, coming in moving right to left.  It makes sense visually to work like that, and if I ever move that 2nd display to the right side of my primary display, I would simply reflect that change in Windows and it would make it work going from left to right.

I also use a 43" 4K

Perhaps, rather than having a higher resolution monitor, it would be better to have more monitors. I use 3 monitors, where normally on the central monitor I leave the track view, on the lower resolution monitor I leave the console view and on the third monitor I work with Piano Roll View, among others.

I went from a 24" 1920x1200 to a 27" 2560x1440 and I've never looked back. Sonar Platinum in itself works fine with this screen size and resolution so the only potential problem relates to some older plug-ins. Arturia V Collection 4 was one of those, but since I upgraded to V Collection 5 that's no longer a problem. Korg M1 Legacy is another small one but its great sound makes me use it anyway. And all my AAS plug-ins have been enlarged in recent updates as well. To name but a few.
 
Do remember that a very large monitor, or multiple monitors, might block your speakers.

I had 2 smaller displays.  I chose the size and resolution of my 43" so that physical display of things stayed the same (same pixel density), but I ended up with the equiv. of adding two more monitors.  IOW, I have the same real estate as a 2x2 set of smaller displays without the gaps and seams.
 
Where I had previously kept the CV on one display and TV on the other, I'm now able to have over/under with a much wider TV.
