In this video, I try to answer: Is 1080P good enough for 27-inch gaming monitors? Also, is 1440P worth the extra money over Full HD at 27-inch?

LMAO OMG
only computer shops i know are newegg and amazon
I went to an Apple shop in my City of Perth, and despite having literally no covid-19 cases in the state it was like going into a biohazard zone!

In Poland every shop is business as usual despite 800+ new cases per day.
Coming from a person that owns a 1440p 27 inch monitor almost 3 years now , (mostly for gaming) , the difference isn't huge but it's definitely noticable . And yes it does make a difference in games . They just appear much sharper and cleaner .
@Filthy Casual yeah the high resolution high frame rate is not that intelligent. My monitor supports up to 165hz 1440p but realistically speaking , what games can run at this frame rate and is my gpu capable of doing it ? Probably not many . Plus , more than 60-90 frames for most games is pointless and you don't see a difference (expect eSports) . The only reason I went with 1440p 165hz is because I wanted to play both eSport tittles at high frames but also get the higher res for triple A tittles and other games. If you want something exclusively for eSports though, then 1080p 240hz is the way to go. And lastly of you are PS5 or Xbox series X user which again is not worth to buy a monitor like this , just buy a 55 inch or bigger tv to fully enjoy your games
Gonna change my 32 inch 1080p TV to a 27 inch 1080p monitor. I had a 24 inch monitor before and damn... Looked pretty cool
@@patriktoth3346 yeah although it's the same resolution , because it is smaller in size the image will actually appear sharper and better . But also keep in mind that the distance between you and the screen also plays a role (the further you are the better the image resolution-wise)
@@overpoweredjelly3513 1.5 meters always
@@patriktoth3346 yes so overall you will see a sharper imagine
Thank you for this awesome review! Your reviewing technique holds up even now 3 years later. I appreciate how much you matched the specs of both screens and ensured the variables you tested were isolated.
My opinion: 24 inch or less: 1080p more than good enough
27 inch and above: 1440p
4K: won't recommend for gaming, I think higher frame rate is more important
4k is not for now, until gpu's can do 4k 60fps at a decent pricepoint 4k will be only for the few with expensive gpu's
I would agree except for the fact that 4K does have it's place RN: playing casual, easy-to-run games on a 4K TV. For any AAA or competitive games, I totally agree.
What about 24 inch 1440p 144hz monitor?
@@TheBinklemNetwork Why would i be surprised? I meant when they release gpu's that can do 4k 60hz on all games minimum.
27 is 1080 native
1080P feels so blurry to me on a 27-inch.
yep, especially on newer game engines that often rely on TAA, which makes the image very soft in 1080p, and anything except MSAA looks too jagged.
That is actually intriguing... I've got three monitors 27" with 1080p, transfer from 21". I must say I don't see any blurry parts. Maybe that is because I didn't deal with 1440p with that screen size.
Honestly for me a 27" 240hz 1080p monitor feels fine to me
Heyy you're that red dead youtuber
I have a 144hz 2k monitor and a 240hz 1080p i like the 240hz more for competitive games and the 2k only for games like fall guys
Thanks for explaining the pixel density and also comparing pixelation side by side, which no other youtubers does or doing it even now.
Daft question I got an old intel iMac and don’t use it anymore as a computer. But, it’s got a lovely 5k display. Is there a way I can use it as a monitor at all? 🤔 😂
24" Inch 1080p works more than well if you unsure of what to buy and it's cheap, I been a gamer for years and I used to play with a 60hz 24" screen and competed in all type of games, always been able to reach the best weapons n gear n ranks in all of the games.
A better screen will help, but it won't you make you much better. It will really benefit players who already is at a TOP tier. So spend money wisely don't buy things you really don't need.
Me: Should I buy 1080p or 1440p at 27"?
My wallet: 900p 19".

Very cool your video and point of view. I've had this question in the past, I've chosen the midterm 2560x1080 with a 34 inch ultrawide display at 75hz. But I had to invest in a more recent graphics card, because the one I was using didn't handle this new demand. Hug and success.
Hi can u help me with this? I am using a 1660 and planning to buy a monitor to use before I changed a new GPU. The monitor is 27inch 1440p 144Hz, will my screen get screentear or screen delay or the screen will just showing low fps as my gpu cant achieve full performance on 1440p?
@@Unknownthewiu Idk how the 1660 performs but you can always just change the in game resolution to 1080p if it's not playable. But having low fps won't add screen tear, maybe if you're getting under 60 fps then do what I mentioned above
@@aidand907 I am ok with the low fps problem , but I don't want any screen etar as I bought the 27inch 1440p with 144Hz which my 1660 cant run full. So i am worried. So wont have any problem right ? except the low fps
@@Unknownthewiu the 1660 super cannot reach 140fps in 1440p on modern titles. There’s hundreds of titles that came out in the past which it might run well, but any triple A release after 2020 is going to see very poor performance in 1440p on a 1660s. You’ll get the benefits of 144hz outside of gaming though, so that’s up to you. You won’t get screen smearing or tearing if you get a good monitor. Though in this sort of situation if you have the money for a 1440p 144hz then I’d personally spend it more towards a high end 1080p 144hz panel, or even a higher end 1440p 75hz panel.

loved the comparison, as someone who loved using 1920x1200 (coming from gaming @ 1600x1200@4:3) I never understood why monitors suddenly went backwards to 1920x1080...I guess it was to force 1080 compliance industry wide...but still silly nonetheless.
Because of 16:9 ratio is more comfortable
I agree, my old ass Apple monitor is 16:10 and it makes a world of a difference

Thanks for this video. Canceled the order for my monitor and bought a different one thanks to you. 🙌🏼
I've been running 27" 1080p for last year or so, and honestly I think its fine, but now I'm in for a 2nd monitor either to get as a secondary or turn my current one into secondary. I fear that if i got 144hz 27" 1440p, I won't be able to go back

Matthew Hoey What is your screen size?
This is a fantastic review. To the point with no waffle at all. Covers all the bases. Interesting about the 24 inch@1080 too. This is what I have used for a decade (only 60hz though) and always been happy with. However I have had to build a new PC that is med/high end and it could definitely power a bigger higher resolution and frame rate monitor so it is a waste of the PC's capacity to stick with my trusty Dell U2410. It seems that it would indeed be worth splashing out for a 1440 27 inch monitor with higher frame rates.

1440p is probably the sweets spot. Any more is a bit overkill unless it’s for video editing or photography
i tried 4k on my monitor since it did have 4k, but it wasnt intentional because i had 2k 144hz with freesync on which was the best for this monitor but when i turned off vsync i got the option to use 4k with 60hz and not 144hz so i turned it on and i dont know why but the apps and background on my monitor looked weird... in games i play a lot for example minecraft when i had 4k on there were very odd bugs that i havent seen before, so idrk why thats a thing but im guessing its probably because it is just minecraft.

A great and informative video, thank you. I'm an old man (60) who struggles with tech yet loves gaming! Just this week I decided to upgrade my pc, here's what I've gone for. Ryzen 7 7800 x3D, 32 GB DDR5, RTX 4070 ti and a 27 inch 1440p, 165 MHz. I couldn't afford to go for a 4k setup so I opted for the next best thing. One thing I took ages deciding was the monitor size, 27 or 32 was my choice. I got 27 in the end because of pixel density and because of my eyesight need to sit a little bit closer to the monitor. I think the viewing distance is an important factor. Cheers 😁
Which monitor did you get. I'm planning to buy one but having a hard time deciding.
1:27 Man said "Yet." That aged well.
Lmao
THIS IS THE EXACT VIDEO I NEED
27" 1080p is enough when you sitting at good distance from your display (about 0.8m-1m). To make your working/gaming place better you just need a table with good depth and VESA Mount, to minimize space between monitor and wall.
What David doesn't mention:
Games and/or the driver change the mipmap bias with the selected resolution.
That's causing the higher sharpness.
So you can get a similar sharpness on a 1080p monitor with using a negative mipmap bias.
Though you shouldn't set this bias too low because you can get moire shimmering.

I've used 1080p at 60 hertz for as long as I can remember. When I picked up a 27 inch LG monitor that can go 75 Hertz it made a huge Improvement on clarity and crispness.

tips if u using 1080p monitor
-play with 1440p game resolution setting(depend your GPU)
-turn off blur(in game)
-turn on dlss and ray-tracing
-setting your monitor color,brightness,contrast as good as you think.
-dont use useless fiture in your monitor, believe me its not worth.(better user-manual setting)
-use freesync/gsync
-dont push the limit of your GPU
-use a good display port cable(buy it, for better deliver)

I have 27" 1440p, Cyberpunk runs great in 1080p with DLSS with anything from 0.5 to 1.0 sharpening! Looks fantastic, but YES, some games WILL look blurry without the correct settings! You can always add image sharpening from Nvidia Control Panel !
Your opinion is a lot like all others ive heard. I think your on point with this.
Thanks to image sharpening I think 1080p at 27" is a solid choice. It will also allow the GPU to perform well for longer.
Great video!
I picked up a 32" 1440p monitor a few months ago, and find it's a bit too big for the resolution - especially when watching 1080p media. 27" is definitely the sharpness sweetspot.
1080p on a 1440p monitor might look worse than it would on a 1080p monitor depending on the scaling though
@@nicklasmartos928 It definitely does in my case.
My 1080p 144hz monitor has been great the past two years but I definitely want to experience 1440p 144hz eventually when higher end cards get closer to msrp. I will wait and see what the 4000 series Nvidia cards have to offer. For now, 1080p is fine since I didn't spoil myself with experiencing 1440p yet
I went the step to 1440p but I also have the pc to power it effortlessly an 144hz.
I will never go back… secondary monitors are still 1080p, but that’s more than enough since they are 24“ and I don’t want to spend anymore money on monitors.
@@SkyzzV_ hell yeah thats good! Im gonna eventually upgrade my cpu to a 5800x3d and maybe a 3080 or something equivalent so i can push 1440p 144hz. I also have a small second monitor and i usually just use it for discord so no point in upgrading the second monitor as well
@@Bdot888 definitely a good upgrade. I have a 5800x and a 3080ti, and I easily have more than 144fps in most games… except cyberpunk… without dlss on maxed settings i have around 25fps xD
@@SkyzzV_ yeah cyberpunk is the exception lmao. But thats awesome, im looking forward to having a setup like yours in a couple months! What monitor do you have?
@@Bdot888 this one: LG UltraGear 27GL850-B, 27"
I'm using an OMNI 165 hz 24in curved monitor with my 3060 Ti and it seems awesome. However my son's have 1440p 27in144hz monitors on their Series X systems and it is very obvious how much crisper and better looking their games look.
the glasses thing sold me thats all i needed to know lmfao thank you
I would rather get more FPS though especially for competitive games
Even if you have a high resolution monitor you can still run the game at a lower resolution... So in my opinion if you have the money I would encourage you to get a 1440p monitor
@@christopherallard1693 its going to look fuzzier on a 1440p monitor at 1080 resolution as the pixels don't match up perfectly
@@createor8590 yeah so what should I do now? Should I just get 24 inch 1080p for my league of legends gaming? For 1440p that is 27 inch I can't find anything in my retail store within my budget
@@dad4378 I actually can't recommend anything in good faith right now. Monitors way more expensive due to corona. But if you had to grab a monitor I would say (1440p 60 hz)if you're only playing league and watching videos.
1080p 24 inch for the tryhard gamer on a budget (easier to hit 144 fps plus smaller screen allows you to see more without moving head)
@@createor8590 I dont think its a noticably fuzzier. GPU-s have pretty cool scaling algorithms by now. I recommend buying a higher resolution 27" display and change it to 1080p when playing competetive.
I just bought a 32" 1440p monitor and it's insane how much sharper the image is (before watching this video). I have some pretty high settings on monster hunter. Own a 5700 xt and it's crazy to see the difference. However i it is using 7.2 of my 8gb vram and gave me a warning. Playing rocket league I noticed some crashes, and I'm wondering if my graphics card isn't up to par with this type of demand. On 1080p im getting 111 fps on monster hunter and when I switch to 1440p I'm only getting 66. Don't completely understand why there is a fps difference other than it must take more power to produce such a sharp image. Great video and definitely left understanding more than I did when i started. Subbed.
It's sharpness is the same ppi as 1080p@24" so must be placebo unless your 1080p monitor was 27" or above
This is the answer I was looking for.
I hear everyone complaining about 1080p. Meanwhile I'm rocking a 720p 60hz monitor.
Yeah. Im using 1440x900 and 1600x900.
It felt great to switch to a 27" 1080p monitor after my 720p 30hz monitor
Generally happy cranking out 300fps on my 1080p, but when trying to place those super accurate long range shots in BF4, it turns into a game of "which pixel do i aim at" rather than placing it on a target in general. I also do photography and need the 1440p clarity.
I don't know any 1080p monitors that can support up to 300 frames per second that's cap just cuz it shows on the monitor from steam that you're getting 300 FPS doesn't mean it's actually showing up on the screen like that your monitor has to support it
@@geargod39 Asus ROG Swift PG259QN is a 24" momitor with a refresh rate of 360Hz. Crazy I know eheh
@@mikedasneves op monitor
@@geargod39 higher fps still has a huge difference even if you have a 60 hz monitor it makes your aim a lot smoother because theres less latency even if your monitors 60 hz
@@howelon3099 in a way that is true, but never beats a higher refresh monitor. Now i can notice the difference between 144hz and 60hz just by scrolling through windows on both of them
