I thought moving to a panel was the best thing ever. Now that I have had an opportunity to play some modern games on a CRT, I was blown away of how good they look. To bad they can not make a 1" thick CRT.
3080 and 1440p is the sweet spot for me for a long time. I'll go to 4k IF gpus become cheap / monitors, but my eyesight is so bad the UI of 4k is too small.
The scaling when changing your resolution does exactly that… makes the ui a usable size again. Instead of 100% try 240% UI scaling and work down or up from there. Hopefully that helps:)
@@W1HURI Have you seen a 27" 4k monitor with scaling? It looks great, like a printed page. The whole point is to make the pixels so dense they don't matter anymore.
I was a huge 1440p guy. But decided to take the plunge for a 4k screen getting ps5 and it not natively supporting 1440. went from 27 1440p 144hz va panel to a 27inch 4k 144hz ips LG 27GN950-B. I kid you not I was converted at startup. RAZOR SHARP. In fps games I am able to see enemies at greater distances more clearly. it is such a game changer to the overal video quality if you have the hardware to run it. my 6800xt is coasting along 60-100fps + maxed out on most titles (no rtx, obviously)
27 inch 1440p 144hz is the absolute sweet spot. I have a 4K monitor I use for work and a 1440p gaming monitor sitting next to it, and the resolution is not that much different at that size. What is definitely different is the amount of power your GPU needs to create to do the 4K graphics.
I think the sweet spot is still 27" 1440P at 144HZ. I used a 4K panel and went back to my Acer Predator 1440P 165HZ IPS display. For the games that I play, higher refresh rates and being able to turn up the graphics settings matters more to me than the highest possible resolution. Of course if you have the money for a 3090, 5950X and 4K 120HZ display, this really doesn't matter.
@@19summers81 I am very happy with the 4K gaming performance of my 10GB 3080. A 12GB 3080ti would be even better though so if you can afford it, you'll be very happy. I went back to 4K gaming last month with a 4K 120HZ display.
@Star Clusters had the same situation, if you are just concern about competitive gaming, 2k 165hz might be a better option. 4k is worth it if you will use it for work but i dont think 4k is worth it at 60hz for gaming. 144hz 4k might be good or even a 90hz 4k display for non- competitive gaming.

I use a 32" 1440p monitor. I have sub-par vision, in fact, its pretty bad. I have a friend with a 4k 32" monitor and I do not see a visual difference other than my monitor has better color, which my friend agrees with. But what I do notice, is the drop in FPS in some games, and that is with a 3080 card. I will stick with my 1440 for now.
I have a 29” 4k 60HZ monitor paired with my i7-4790k and a GTX1080 for the past 4 years now. And it’s been an amazing experience. I mainly play RTS games so it’s perfect for me. If you play a lot of shooters 60Hz is kinda not enough the screen gets blurry when moving around and turning really fast.
A lot of gamers are into shooting games and I am not one of them due to dizzyness playing fast phase shooting for over 30mins. And so I am into rpg games still have some fast motion but not as ridiculously fast like in the shooting game. Therefore I really appreciate 4k 120hz gaming
@@forsaken7161 4k 60hz or even 1440p will do fine for your needs, at least get a 27" or 32" monitor for that resolution. 1080p it's oudated, for gaming 1440p at 144hz is the Best affordable option, more hz more money.
I own a 27" 60 Hz 4K IPS panel and a 34" 144 Hz ultrawide 2K panel. In my humble opinion, 27" is way too small for 4K. Perhaps it's me getting blind over time but I generally enjoy using 34" panel more.

I remember when I bought a dell 24inch 1080p monitor (flat screen) in the mid 2000's, it cost me a little over $1k, but damn it was glorious. Now I run my pc through HDTV's from my couch.
I have a 4k60hz monitor that I really like and have been really happy with. I don't play completive games. I mostly play single player games, and it more than suits my needs in that regard.
Imo i noticed the 120hz for about 3 weeks or in shooting games. But not other than that. But it still looks smoother when you go back to a 60hz display.
Recently picked up a 27gn950-b and demoted my ex-main 1440p/144hz nitro vg1 to "media" status to phase an old 1080/60 screen out of my setup and I've gotta say, 4k 144hz is beautiful. I know the focus here was gaming, but keep in mind that it's still a really sharp looking buttery smooth panel for everything else you do as well. Still on the hunt for another 3080/3090 but my 2080ti seems to be doing alright even if it's not ideal anymore.
@@charlesanderson1321 Yeah but take in to account, people using lesser graphics cards are less likely to upgrade than people using more expensive ones because people with the higher-end cards wanna continue playing at ultra or at high framerates.

I only intend on upgrading my 3080 due to 10gb not quite cutting it for some games at 4k
Same here. Perfect size for 1440p. I remember when I had my first 32" HDTV and was blown away from it in like 2007 or so...? Now days we have monitors that are 42"+ for quiet a few years now.
I've used 1440p 144hz gsync since gsync was launched in 2015, with a 980ti and then 1080ti, and then RTX 3090. Recently upgraded to a 4k 144hz Gsync and I can answer this question for everyone: Yes. This is the upgrade that happened with phones going to "retina". The difference isn't so much about the number of pixels but the fact that individual pixels are invisible at 4k. If you can get your hands on the GPU for it, do it.
@@asc2276 To me it would depend on the games. If you're playing single-player adventure games or strategy, then 4k is the answer. If you're playing Valorant, CS: GO, Warzone, or Apex Legends, the faster screen will be a better choice.
@@deimosok2003 Absolutely- more now than when I wrote that response. A 4080 will do great with competitive games at 4k 120Hz and even if it's not hitting 120hz in single player games with great graphics, the smoothness provided by adaptive sync will make it look fantastic. Send it on 4k! You've got the graphics hardware to run it.
Personally went from 27" 1440p 165 hz to 27" 4k 144 hz and granted I rarely get above 80-100 fps now I think not being able to see any pixels no matter how hard I try is worth the trade off in frame rate.
@@jaquelineknaack575 as long as you're using something like dlss or even frs it's great. Almost no hit in quality. Using resolution scaling and sharpening in the Nvidia control panel is pretty good as well but a little more noticeable. Because 1440p can't divide 4k evenly just dropping the res to 1440 without any kind of sharpening can be more noticeable than I like but it's not a deal breaker by any means.
4k 144hz sounds so nice, but other factors big time come into play even past price: pixel response, G2G, nits, etc. Many like HDR too but other than the black levels and maybe 10 bit it only does so much for me personally.
Once you have used 4k, you can't go back. I have 4k60hz and will replace it with a 4k144hz when prices lower a little. Looked at many 2k monitors in stores and I see pixels everywhere...I see you!!. LOL. cannot go back to lower resolution /2k. Text is so clear on 4k.
as a 4k 32inch 60hz user i really love my monitor, i used to drive 144hz 1080p TN panel for years but i realised that i prefer graphical fidelity over smooth motion in games. Also imo 32inch is the sweet spot for 4k monitor, 27inch is more suited for 1440p and 21-24inch for 1080p.
Definitely far from best option, anyone who has the money truly wanna step out and get into the 1440/144hz world as minimum requirement... FSR for when your rig can't handle it or turn your panel into a ultra-wide by cutting the vertical pixels for extra performance still better than 1080p.
I bought a Samsung G9 (1440p widescreen) to replace my nearly10 year old 32" 1080p vizio tv I was using. Depending on what is on the screen I can somewhat make out pixels but the improvement from 1080p is noticeable and that is if you discount all the extra real-estate to the sides as alot of games don't support widescreen and are better in window mode 16:9 aspect ratio. A 4k monitor may have been the better option as 1080p upscales to 4k beautifully whereas upscaling to 1440p with 1080p content, not so much, too much blocky text and other upscaling artifacts so you are really forced to run native or windowed mode to make it look right. As with most things it is a series of compromises so which can you afford and more importantly live with.
I actually went backwards in resolution from 4k60 to 1080p240. I don't really miss the high resolution that much. Of course 4k with high refresh would be amazing but it is so hard to drive games at that setting. I rather turn on RTX and have 100+ frames at 1080p than play at 4k and barely get playable framerates. I have an RTX 3070.

I’m waiting for the parts to arrive for my ‘once in a lifetime build’. i9-13900k, RTX 4090 and a 4k 144hz monitor. I’m so freaking excited. I had a 1440p 165hz display on its way at first but decided to go 4k since I should be able to push the frames. I think I’ll end up returning the 1440p after having this reinforce my decision. Heck, I could even see a difference between the two displays in your video (desktop wallpaper) on my phone watching in 720p lol. Thank you for the excellent video! I also appreciated that you made a friendly call out to the other TH-camr and his reviews (saw his first but came here still) 😊
Hey! I'm sure you've got your build right now! Was just wondering how it was since I was thinking about getting the same thing. Maybe AMD cpu instead but was wondering how much did it all cost if you don't mind saying, would love to know!
I'm so glad I went with 2K plus 144 HZ couple years ago within the last year my brother bought a 4K 60 monitor and honestly the difference between 2K and 4K ain't much at all I'd say it's a diminishing return after 2K and then after 4K to 8k it's pretty much even more of a diminishing return it's not worth the money right now for 4K not when you can get a 2K 144 for less give it a couple more years and then it be justifiable to get a 4K on the prices go down
@El Cactuar oh cool yeah it's crazy how it's not much different from 4K and then the jump from 4K to 8K is even less can't wait for games to become standard at 144😁
I think you're underselling the added "reality" of higher fps. Temporal resolution adds at least as much to the "window effect" as standard resolution. 162 fps vs 105 fps is HUGE imo.
I don't understand how blogger can use 2K and 4K monitor at the same time. I have bought 4K 27inch monitor 3 weeks ago, and I can't use my old 2K 27inch monitor anymore, cos I see pixels, It looks blurry in games and Windows. 4K is an ideal resolution for eyes. I can't see any pixels from 50cm (my eyes 60cm far away)
i bought the 27gn950 and own a lg 34gpa83. honestly the 4k looks soo nice on the eye but its hard to hit that 120+ fps. my pc is running 5950x with 3080 FE and 32g ram . 1000w psu. ended up selling the 4k monitor its really not much difference with the 1440p . ultrawide is just hands down better experience for me especially in mmo or fps games
hello how far away in cm do you sit from your monitor. I have a 3070ti and seriously considering 4k over 1440p. Obviously the further away you sit from your monitor the less the difference is between each res. factoring out frame rate as I mostly play easy to run to esports titles with some AAA story games mixed. Is 4k a massive difference from 1440p or is it just a tiny difference?
At 27" I don't think 4k is worth it at all, especially if you want high fidelity and high framerate. Bumping it up to 32" I can understand the argument for it a bit more. I am running an RTX 3080 and would rather have 90 -100fps ultra 1440p than 70-80 high 4k.
I went 1440p 144Hz 32" VA, paired with an RX 5700. I need a big display, because my eyes are as old as me, which is pretty old.... I only play MMORPGs and this setup works great for me.
I decided to split the difference. I’ve got a 1440p 165 hz monitor for the more actiony titles and a 4k 60 for slower, “scenic” games. Working out well so far with only having to offer half my kidney. 👍🏻
I'd drag my pecker through 500 miles of scorching saharan desert coated with shards of broken glass and WW2 shrapnel just to play one single game of doom eternal at 8k resolution on a 32" monitor
Nah, I tried doing that with a 1080p and 4K 60hz and you'll just end up using whatever you like the most. Or maybe it's just me because I don't have a need for a dual setup.
Made the jump from a 24-inch 1080p 144hz TN panel to a 32-inch 4K 60hz VA with HDR when I left my old gaming setup at home and got a new gaming setup in my dorm. RTX 2060 is not enough to play most games at 4K, but I found that 4K does wonders for web browsing, video consumption, and for more than a few games (games from 7-8 years ago can hit 4K 60 fps with no compromise). High refresh rate was really nice, but I'll stick with having more pixels. Native 4K or even 1800p is much sharper than DSR.
I just got a 32 inch 1440p monitor a few months and I love it. Of course it replaced a 1080p monitor I had been using. I am not going to be considering 4k until prices come down of gpus. I got a 1660 super last year for $230 and I am totally fine with it for now. I also have a gtx 970, gtx 960 4gb and a gtx 780. I kiss them and tell them how much I appreciate them all the time.
@@RAXIIIIIIII i have two monitors both 27" one is 4k (60hz) the other is 1440p (144hz) and in games i don't see a difference, except for smoother gameplay on the 144hz monitor.. the only real difference is reading text on 4k and when typing out documents it looks better. other than that.. no visual difference.
The system I'm getting will have a 3070 in it and I plan to go with a 27" 1440p monitor that can go at least 120Hz though most seem to be 144Hz these days. I feel like at the distance I'll be using it at, that's a good bet. One question, if I wanted to add 1 or two additional monitors as additional displays (not necessarily for gaming) does it matter if the refresh rate or resolution is the same?
Still waiting for 32" 4K high refresh rate to drop. IMO that's the best size for 4K, I have 27" 1440p high refresh rate and it's still good in this form factor
The only problem with a monitor that size is that your cursor has to move further on-screen. This can actually make things more difficult in a shooter. Not so much a problem with the monitor as a problem of human limitation.
Having had both 4K and 1440p I'd say I'd rather have the frame increase over resolution. The biggest advantage for me for 4K is you can play a game at 1080p without it looking weird. 1440p can have issues at 1080p. Also, congrats on the mention on Austin Evans' newest video!
I feel like they're for different tasks. 4K is amazing for the pure amount of desktop space in things like photoshop or excel, but hader to run in games. 2560x1440 is the middle ground that fits sort of a sweet spot. 1920x1080 is easy to run, so almost every game will reach high framerates even on affordable graphics cards. Oh, and Ultrawide is obviously great for watching movies, but also for things like video editing to have more in the timeline or watching 16:9 streams while having space on the side for the chat.
I would think a better question is is a 4k high refresh rate worth it... compared to a "low" refresh rate (60Hz) 4k monitor. I mean if you're going to say 1080p is still good, then I would argue a 60Hz monitor is still good, difference being you can watch 4k movies and youtube videos (*snerk*) on it.
The hardware markup from even just a year ago is absolutely insane! I got a new 27in 1440p 144hz monitor back in March 2020, right before everyone started working from home. In hindsight, I was extremely lucky. It cost about $315. Amazon does this stupid thing and recommends you buy items you've already bought AGAIN, so a few weeks ago it recommends the monitor. I click because I was curious and it had skyrocketed to over $500 in price! WTF. I knew gpus were bad but sheesh. It's a good monitor, but it's a dell. Nothing special.
Hey I'm thinking about buying a 2k monitor can u pls let me know if it's good for watching stuffs like movies animes series and stuffs not gaming and can u find everything at 1440p?
Actually that is a valid point. The greater the resolution, the less hard your eyes have to work to fill in the gaps. Also, higher refresh rates are easier on the eyes.

The most important point is the one you made about seeing or not seeing individual pixels. For me, I just can't get use to anything less than 4k. However I also have been gaming on larger displays.

If you compare both on a 27" screen then yes, there isn't much of a visual difference. If though, you compare them both on a 32" or higher monitor. 1440p really starts looking more pixelated and blurry and not the better option. My point is that you can't just make a blanket statement as to which gives you better returns or bang for your visual buck. The size of the monitor is a HUGE factor.

The clarity of the images displayed on your TV is not only affected by resolution by also display frequency especially for fast moving actions in a movie. Therefore it is more important for sim racing games than first person shooting games to have a higher display frequency because all the background is just moving too fast in a sim racing game. Display frequency is even more important in 3D VR if you don't want motion sickness. It is not really subjective; it only depends on what you want your TV or monitor to display.

You should redo this test comparing 4K/60Hz with 1440p/144Hz on the same size monitor (as in here both 27"). I'd say at 27" the 1440 hi refresh wins hands down. Static image quality between the two is barely noticeable at 27".
FPS is still king imho. Bought a renewed Acer Nitro XV272U X, CoD and BF at 200fps with a monitor to go with is sublime. Find it less fatiguing than even 144Hz.
you should re-do this test on the 1440p monitor while using nvidia DSR set to 2.25x so it displays a 4k image on the 1440p monitor....that would help with the aliasing your seeing on the 1440p monitor and will show that 4k monitor isn't worth it
I got best of both worlds, 27" 1440p 240hz (Lenovo) & 27" 4k 144hz (Acer Predator) depending on what I want to play. (RTX 3090). I will say though that IMO 1440p looks trash compared to 4k.

3080 and 1440p is the sweet spot for me for a long time. I'll go to 4k IF gpus become cheap / monitors, but my eyesight is so bad the UI of 4k is too small.
Scaling fixes that.
The scaling when changing your resolution does exactly that… makes the ui a usable size again. Instead of 100% try 240% UI scaling and work down or up from there. Hopefully that helps:)
Scaling isnt natural for the monitor, the pixels dont work right. I would recommend 4k 32” or 1440p 27”

This is the upgrade that happened with phones going to "retina". The difference isn't so much about the number of pixels but the fact that individual pixels are invisible at 4k. If you can get your hands on the GPU for it, do it.

4k 144hz sounds so nice, but other factors big time come into play even past price: pixel response, G2G, nits, etc. Many like HDR too but other than the black levels and maybe 10 bit it only does so much for me personally.
Once you have used 4k, you can't go back. I have 4k60hz and will replace it with a 4k144hz when prices lower a little. Looked at many 2k monitors in stores and I see pixels everywhere...I see you!!. LOL. cannot go back to lower resolution /2k. Text is so clear on 4k.

Definitely far from best option, anyone who has the money truly wanna step out and get into the 1440/144hz world as minimum requirement...
FSR for when your rig can't handle it or turn your panel into a ultra-wide by cutting the vertical pixels for extra performance still better than 1080p.
I bought a Samsung G9 (1440p widescreen) to replace my nearly10 year old 32" 1080p vizio tv I was using. Depending on what is on the screen I can somewhat make out pixels but the improvement from 1080p is noticeable and that is if you discount all the extra real-estate to the sides as alot of games don't support widescreen and are better in window mode 16:9 aspect ratio. A 4k monitor may have been the better option as 1080p upscales to 4k beautifully whereas upscaling to 1440p with 1080p content, not so much, too much blocky text and other upscaling artifacts so you are really forced to run native or windowed mode to make it look right. As with most things it is a series of compromises so which can you afford and more importantly live with.

Also, congrats on the mention on Austin Evans' newest video!
I feel like they're for different tasks.
4K is amazing for the pure amount of desktop space in things like photoshop or excel, but hader to run in games.
2560x1440 is the middle ground that fits sort of a sweet spot.
1920x1080 is easy to run, so almost every game will reach high framerates even on affordable graphics cards.
Oh, and Ultrawide is obviously great for watching movies, but also for things like video editing to have more in the timeline or watching 16:9 streams while having space on the side for the chat.
1080p is half the resolution of 4k, maybe that is why
I would think a better question is is a 4k high refresh rate worth it... compared to a "low" refresh rate (60Hz) 4k monitor. I mean if you're going to say 1080p is still good, then I would argue a 60Hz monitor is still good, difference being you can watch 4k movies and youtube videos (*snerk*) on it.

Actually that is a valid point. The greater the resolution, the less hard your eyes have to work to fill in the gaps. Also, higher refresh rates are easier on the eyes.
I got a cheap 24 inch electriq 4k monitor (60hz) and I don’t know whether I should return it for a 1440p 75hz Philips e line monitor. This is a second monitor btw as my first one is a 144hz 1080p one. Should I return it as the HDR quality and browsing looks poor but the game quality is quite nice at 4k? I have a Gtx 1080
"You'll get frame drops gaming in 4k at 120fps?"
**Laughs in HDMI 2.1
Haha VRR go brrr
You'll still get frame drops.
I still play in old lcd monitors using vga and I am happy with it.
Same, But my computer's monitor is an old one I got for $10 used and I just haven't upgraded yet

"hmm makes sense"

Yeah, take my like and sub
4K OLED TV gang almost upon us.
Hey Dawid, I know this videos a little old, but I was wondering 240hz 2k or 60 hz 4K? I have a 4070 Ti
I would think you would get more bang for the buck with the 1440p with the high refresh rate. The 4k I'm willing to bet you will out grow quickly
@@2ZH duuude thank you so much for the reply. I was hoping maybe somebody would read this.
@@lostsoulhd936 for sure. The other thing I've heard is it's hard to tell the difference until you get to a 32" screen. Plus you're card will hold up better as new things come out for 1440p.
But I hope it all helps!
The prices end up putting me off always... and end up sticking to my 32" 1080p 75hz panel.
When i built my setup i got dual acer 32” 1080p monitors from walmart on black friday for combined $310. They are 165hz too. Some reviews said “oh that resolution sucks at that size. These monitors are absolute garbage. They were wrong i couldnt be happier
Not sure if you still have it but going from 1080p to 1440p was huge. Probably the most substantial upgrade I’ve ever made and I’ve been building PCs since 2009.
split the middle and go 1440p ultrawide. It's awesome
David be like: :0 got money for sponsor lets burn it on the 4k monitor
The sponsor then gets skipped at 1:25 (0:16 is where it starts).
@@aleksanderkysiak9540 what
It would be great to see a 4k vs 1440p Ultrawide video with some gameplay footage to compare them.
I'm watching this video on a 27" 1080p monitor and I don''t see the pixels unless I'm too close of the monitor which I never do, so, imho, my next monitor will be a 1440p one but probably a 32" 1440p, yes 32".
21-24” is for 1080p 27” is 1440p but imo anything bigger then 27” should be 4k so 30”+ its just youll see the pixels like more if you got a 32” 1440p
@@GermanicGoosicus I don’t see the pixels on a 27’’ 1080p, how would I see the pixels on a 32’’ 1440p ? 1080p on 27’’ is 81 PPI when 1440p on 32’’ is 91 PPI, so the image will be better and have more PPI 😉
This might be the best title of 2021
Damn, I can't imagine the pixel desnity on that "small" 4k monitor
Like playing on fresh snow or butter
At 4k my gpu turns into a space heater
The answer is simple. Would you rather game in 1440p 150+FPS or 4K 60-100fps? I have the Alienware 1440p 240hz monitor so I think that explains my opinion on the matter lol
I like 1440p 60pfs +.
Yo i really need help. Should i choose 4k but 60hz or the 1440p but almost 140 hz. (For ps5)
@@johnnybattah5567 ps5 does not support 1440p unfortunately. xbox series x does, but not ps5. only option is to get a 1080p 144hz. ps5 isn't powerful enough to achieve 120 fps in 4k so thats out of the question too. even super expensive pc's can barely achieve 100+fps in 4k.
@@XadjustmentX damn. But if the ps5 supports 4k why doesn’t it support 1440. So is it better to get 4K and 60 FPS or 1080p with 120+ fps
@@johnnybattah5567 Sony's response.for no 1440p is that 1440p is a monitor resolution, and not a tv resolution. and they were more focused with how ps5 performed on tv's rather than monitors. (keep in mind sony sells A LOT of tv's.) but Sony has also said that while ps5 doesnt support 1440p right now, that doesnt mean it wont in the future. my suggestion is always going to be framerate over resolution. 120fps will change your gaming life if you've never experienced it. 4k isnt all its cracked up to be, in my opinion. and i just flat out prefer higher framerate over resolution....as do most gamers by the way.
Good luck Dawid's Kidney on you adventure!
Where can I find the wallpaper, its dope.
The most important point is the one you made about seeing or not seeing individual pixels. For me, I just can't get use to anything less than 4k. However I also have been gaming on larger displays. I have a 32" 4k and just recently purchased an LG CX 48". 1440p in my opinion looks absolutely horrible on a 48" screen. I also think 1440p looks pretty bad at 32". If you compare both on a 27" screen then yes, there isn't much of a visual difference. If though, you compare them both on a 32" or higher monitor. 1440p really starts looking more pixelated and blurry and not the better option.
My point is that you can't just make a blanket statement as to which gives you better returns or bang for your visual buck. The size of the monitor is a HUGE factor.
what really grinds my gears is that with 4k 120hz you get a hdmi 2.1 $500 tax added
There goes the other kidney... I guess I will have to do with a pump?
I have a rtx 3070 and I'm wondering if I should get a 1440p 240Hz monitor or a 4k 120Hz (both with HDR) , and I want it to be 27 inch ,can someone please help me choose?.
I have a 300hz 1080 monitor, looks freakin beautiful. I know there are better monitors, but I'm not sure that I can see well enough for it to make a difference 😆
To me 300hz is just to much, there is not much difference from 240hz and there is really like 3 games you can really use that 300Hz and have 300fps minimum
I liked your Jeremy Clarkson outro with the "bombshell" ending. Nice!
I feel sorry for Squarespace for having to sell their kidney for a Dawid Does Tech Stuff video. Hopefully, they can buy it back if you click that link in the description!
Once I screwed around with an LG Oled 4K 120hz TV. I couldn’t go back. 1440p looks blurry to me
Yeah Oleds are amazing man.. some people just don't know!
What I do is 1080p for max fps. Or that's what I would do since I'm dirt broke and have no gaming setup 😂
The clarity of the images displayed on your TV is not only affected by resolution by also display frequency especially for fast moving actions in a movie. Therefore it is more important for sim racing games than first person shooting games to have a higher display frequency because all the background is just moving too fast in a sim racing game. Display frequency is even more important in 3D VR if you don't want motion sickness. It is not really subjective; it only depends on what you want your TV or monitor to display.
Tell me you never played first person shooter ( competitive ) without telling me
@@S.V.23 haha And you use the real sight of the hand gun too? LOL I have Contractor. But shooting game is just 1 of MANY genre that I play. Get a brain; play some real strategy games and racing games. LOL
You should redo this test comparing 4K/60Hz with 1440p/144Hz on the same size monitor (as in here both 27"). I'd say at 27" the 1440 hi refresh wins hands down. Static image quality between the two is barely noticeable at 27".
It's crazy that you should be able to get a 42 inch 120hz OLED tv for not much more than that 4k monitor in about 18 months
got such, but Tv is not monitor. Now I look for 32 or 27"
I just bought a 50” 4K 120hz tv to use. Already have a 27” 1440 165hz monitor. Sometimes I like to play on a big screen.
Which do you prefer tho
FPS is still king imho. Bought a renewed Acer Nitro XV272U X, CoD and BF at 200fps with a monitor to go with is sublime. Find it less fatiguing than even 144Hz.
you should re-do this test on the 1440p monitor while using nvidia DSR set to 2.25x so it displays a 4k image on the 1440p monitor....that would help with the aliasing your seeing on the 1440p monitor and will show that 4k monitor isn't worth it
Considering that a graphics card that can fully utilize the 4K screen costs more than a trio of the screen itself....
Yea upgrading to be able to play on 4k cost you a lot, it's crazy.
I use 3440x1440 and that's the sweet spot for me, nice and wiiiiiide
That’s what she said.
What would you recommend for a xbox series x or ps 5 bro 1444 120hz or 4k 120hz ?
I got best of both worlds, 27" 1440p 240hz (Lenovo) & 27" 4k 144hz (Acer Predator) depending on what I want to play. (RTX 3090). I will say though that IMO 1440p looks trash compared to 4k.
More likely, Lenovo looks trash compared to Acer.
144hz/fps 1080p is all I'll ever need. Beyond that is just overdoing it.
Maybe 1440p is fine at some point. But that's as far as you'll ever need to go.
I have 1440p 240hz,once you go 1440p it's hard to go back 1080p
