Is 1440p A Waste? - 1080p vs 1440p Monitors
Yes it’s true 1080p has been the preferred resolution for professional gamers for a long time, but are they just clowns, or is there a good reason to stick to 1080p for competitive gaming in 2023.
Now this video idea came to me like a fever dream when I saw a popular streamer giving his thoughts on the idea.
But is he right, well to find out first we need to understand the real difference between 1080p and 1440p
So 1080p or 1920x1080 has a total pixel count of 2,073,600 whereas 1440p or 2560x1440 has a total pixel count of 3,686,400 pixels.
That's an enormous nearly 78% increase in resolution, which let me tell you looks much much more clear in person. This also means that targets at a distance and heck even up close will be far more detailed theoretically allowing you to potentially track and recognize targets with greater accuracy and on a personal note I get less eye fatigue when the image is clearer as well.
Now many people will say that 1440p is a waste for competitive gaming because it's much harder to run, the displays tend to have lower refresh rates, and I’ve heard some say that the PPI of 1080p on something like 24” is good enough and there isn’t much benefit to moving to a higher resolution.
That last point is just false and I vehemently disagree with the PPI argument as sure at some point a screen is so small that you can’t tell the difference, but that's not even the case on 5” phone screens let alone 24” monitors. The visual difference between 1440p and 1080p at 24 and 27” is MASSIVE and no matter what size the screen is 1440p will always have roughly 78% higher detail making PPI a metric you should mostly ignore.
And yes 1440p is harder to run, but most graphics cards today can run any game at 1440p low settings at very acceptable frame rates and the harder games to run tend to have options like DLSS or FSR to help if you can’t quite get the framerate you want, plus with now 360Hz 1440p monitors becoming available with very diminishing returns in response and input lag already happening at 240Hz especially considering LCD struggles to take advantage of framerates of 360Hz and beyond in terms of motion clarity I don’t see any reason to choose a 1080p monitor over 1440p or heck even 4K in 2023 unless the monitor and equipment to run it is just too expensive, which is a legitimate argument.
For example at 1080p a 360Hz monitor may cost you $400 and a $250 RX 7600 may be enough depending on the games you run for a total cost of $650.
However a 360Hz 1440p Monitor may cost $900 and require a $500 7800 XT to run it for a total cost of $1,400 making it far harder for many to justify purchasing, but realistically guys I think 240Hz is the sweet spot to you may be able to get away with a cheaper graphics card as well as a MUCH less expensive $450 monitor which would probably put you at a total cost of around $900 which while more expensive is FAR more reasonable.
So whether or not you can justify the extra expense is up to you, but the massive increase in clarity is certainly worth it in my opinion, and spending the same for higher refresh rate 1080p monitors to get either very very diminishing or even no returns in terms of motion clarity and system latency is certainly not.

1440P is trash, anyone not using 8k deserves to be playing on gamecube
yup
The GameCube is the best gaming device ever fym
I play on gamecube everyday it's better I don't need internet to play I don't need internet for updates
hell ya 4k 25 fps
I'm playing 64K resolution maxed out with a custom made computer utilizing 8 CPU's and 16 graphic cards in a very well ventilated PC case the size of a wardrobe. I use NASA's quantum freeze decapitator cooling system, which uses aether technology, which is important to prevent my rig from accidentally blinking out into another dimension due to the heat and high frequencies achieved in the hyper pulse fusionizer while playing. I can't even look at 8K anymore. Looks so blurry to me, LMAO.

Aha, you're the reason they were out of stock. Now I have to wait again.
1440 p looks slightly sharper to me, but I prefer lower res and higher frames when I'm gaming. 1080p is still great.
24 inch is perfect for 1080p, the perfect balance, anything beyond 24 inch you will need 1440p
@@vitorf2303 24 inch 1440p is not well used and even made, especially with high refresh rate. But it's the best combo i seen for sharpness if 1080p is too blurry and 4K is a no go for someone's budget or small desk which was my case for both consideration. Yet 1080p screen can look really sharp with 1440p DLSS and added sharpness. And if i take my glasses of nothing actually matter anyway even 8K movies look blurry, that's what i learned at the store the other day 😂
In many situations 1080p makes a game more cpu bound using 1440p often forces the GPU to take over the load for what it’s good for. I play RTX 3060 on a 1440p 32 inches monitor. Especially when you can use DLSS it starts to make sense
@@MrMOGHammer Nothing makes much sense in regards to your choice to play on a 1440p 32" monitor. Learn about "ppi" (pixel density). Your monitor has a ppi of 93, the same as 1080p 24" panels. Bigger is not always better. 1440p at 27" has a ppi of 108. Of course you have a greater resolution compared to 1080p but the bigger the screen, the bigger will the individual pixels be and you lose clarity, sharpness and detail. It also forces you to sit further away for it to become retina.
Going from 1440p to 1080p there was quite a noticeable drop in quality. But after being on 1080p after a while it feels sharp again, lol.
Playing on 1440p at good frame rates & good image quality require high end costlier gpus and high end processors. If you can afford RTX xx70 and above, i7 or Ryzen 7 and above, then go for 1440p. If anything below, then play at 1080p with max graphic settings on budget gpus like RTX xx60 with i5 newer generations or i7 older generations.
Also, 1080p with ultra settings > 1440p with medium-high settings, in terms of both image quality and performance.
Other than forbidden west, a R5 5500 and RTX 4060 can push everything in 2024 on high at 1440p above 60fps.
@canguyen1590 not ark ascended or plagues tale requim I tried unless I'm doing something wrong and I already had a 2k monitor def don't want to buy another for idk how many more frames considering it does my fps games fine at about 100 with dlss on with high setting to medium and lower setting at full quality and my eyes can't really see the difference in quality to performance that much
tho you do need a 70 series card, an i5 will do the job, no need for i7 for a 4070 lol. You probably dont even need the K version just the 400 is enough for most games.
@@canguyen1590 not so true, there are a lot of games where it cant get 60fps with high graphics, for comparison a 4060 ti doesnt get 60 fps on all UE5 games on ultra on 1080p. Tho for esport titles it will do the job.

@The Display Guy. Can you do a vs video or opinions on the new Alienware 4k 32 OLEd and the ASUS 32 Flat OLEd. I’m torn between the two.
I got a 360hz ips 1080p 24,5” monitor running with a 4070super i play a lot of competitive games so performance and high refresh rates is always my goal. I recently found a 240hz 1440p monitor you guys would recommend upgrading? I did try 1440p but it was at 170hz felt a big difference in terms of smoothness and lag.
I am on a 1080p 500hz panel and I am okay with playing in it for now.
My games are R6, CSGO, Valorant, DBD, OW2, Apex
How do opponents on apex look from a far distance? Currently I have a 1440p monitor but I get stutters at 1440p on Apex, and downgrading to 1080p on my monitor gives me a blurry image.
@@MythicManaMaster First of all, Apex doesn't run at 500hz so theres no reason to be on 1080p over 1440p. At the same refresh, 1440p is always better. Its just most of my games run at 500fps or more.
1080p is a bit rough if you don't have good eyesight and are used to it vs 1440p.
Just get a 1440p 240hz panel and a 7800XT and you will be fine.
@yungnachty4474 unfortunately I'm running a 5700xt and it barely fits into my case so a 7800xt won't work
@@MythicManaMaster Wait for the 8800XT coming for 499 in 6 months, should match a 4080 and be similar to a 5700xt
@@yungnachty4474so which better, 1080p 240hz or 2k 240hz on apex legends for seing opponent on far distance. Im using i5 13600k and 3070
Hey Display Guy, genuinely enjoy your humour and love how you vehemently abhor matte displays like I do. Can you do a video on monitors that you would actually recommend that are preferably glossy? Much appreciated.
What is wrong with matte displays ?
Clarity isn't as good with matte screens. I think that's a good video idea, specifically glossy ips 👌
1440p is the sweet spot, 27 inch is perfect for me, 32 still feels like a tv size… I picked up the MSI 272QPF for £230 from £300 and seems great (1440p 1ms 177hz) feels great I just find £400-£600 steep for what I need it for 👍
How many cm/inches away from your monitor do you sit?
@@colinpierre3441 13 inches away I sit close on keyboard and mouse 👍 32 inch would be best sat further away (guidelines say 5 ft away!) my tv in bedroom is 32 inch so seems large to have as a monitor
22 inch fhd is good for me lol
Bro, 1440p at 27 inches is barely better than 1080p at 24 inches. 1440p only becomes an upgrade when it is at 24 inches, not 27.
who the fuck buys 24 inch monitors ...?@@angrysocialjusticewarrior
I'm goong to upgrade soon... so for a rx 7700xt (it's almost 100$ discounted in my country), would 1440p be better? I'm not a competitive player, more like a casual player... but sometimes I like try harding in fortnite. So is it 1080p or 1440p ?
Go for 7800xt if you want 1440p
Frames are better then resolution case closed
Yes and no, I would take 1080p 144hz over 1440p 60hz, but I would take 1440p 144hz instead of 1080p 240hz, don't understand the people that get 500hz 1080p monitors, get 240-360hz 1440p it's so much better.
Nah like all things in the universe there needs balance.
Yes but people who chose 1080p 540hz over 1440p 360hz are crazy, there is a limit.
@@yarincool1237 Ya that doesn't really make since to me like I think what they need to do to open there eyes is playing at 720p at 2000hz and be like I can't see a damn thing
Competitive gaming is different than recreational. 1080p is the perfect middle ground and what a lot of people play on/are used to. Back in the day people used to play Counterstrike on 4:3 720p settings and when it was migrated to CSGO, a lot of older competitive gamers still preferred the smaller resolution with slower mouse speeds. I do not think one is inherently better than the other I truly believe it’s personal preference. But objectively speaking the less pointless information your eyes have to comb through the faster you get on target. The brain is very adaptable however, and the new generation will be very accustomed to 1080p/1440p gaming.
Anyone still on a 24 inch monitor is a Pleb... Nobody needs anything above 144hz to 165hz, all those so called "Pro Gamers" are full of crap.
Don't be bamboozled by the "Pro Gamer" BS hype, it's wrong. Pro Tip: only 2% of gamers are actually competitive, the rest are wanna be Plebs that got sold a load of garbage marketing.
We ran off "Pro Gamers", right out of our servers, them squawking in chat that you need the highest possible refresh rate at 1080p or you can't compete.
What a complete joke and those fools spend hundreds of more hours in game "practicing".. They got ran through harder than a Thai prostitute on a Friday night, their whole team jumping server, more than a few times.. Man I wish TWL leagues and rented servers were still a thing. 1440p, 27 inch monitors at 120hz to 165hz FTW... Every time
@@Eric_Von_Yesselstyn No 1080p's is not outdated garbage 4k is Outdated garbage kid
I still use a high end 27” Asus 1080p panel from 10 years ago, and I absolutely still enjoy gaming on it. I use a Zotac RTX 3070ti card maxed to any game on a recently built i7 computer, and for the first time since I started gaming back in the 90’s my computer is pretty much dead silent, and I get to enjoy incredibly smooth gameplay with graphics maxed out. I’ll eventually move to 4k, but it’s not as important as you think.
I promise you if you get a 1440p you won't go back. 4k 60hz isn't worth it. 1440p 180hz is absolutely worth it
4k 27" is not worth it. I ended up selling mine because i would usually play games at 1440p for more fps. At 27 inches, 1440p still looks good. If you want 4k then I'd recommend 32".
Get a better monitor really you wont regret it
Everyone gangsta until you buy a GPU that runs better on 1440P than 1080P to avoid CPU bottleneck ☠
Trust me, it is as important as you may not think. Go ahead get a better monitor and don't lie to yourself, it is better, the same experience going from 60Hz to anything above.
if only 23.8" 1440p 240Hz+ monitors were a thing MANY eSports players (and also the casual tryhards) would upgrade, some people just don't want 27"+ displays man...
THIS. A big problem is that there are no display manufacturers making those panels and the monitor manufacturers aren’t asking for them and I think that market is pretty small in general. But I do think now that our graphics cards are so much more powerful, professional players should consider high resolution monitors. It kinda dawned on me the other day perhaps a reason so many csgo and fps pros play so close to their monitor is because they play at low resolutions so having the the monitor in their face helps them make out important details while playing. I’ve started to thinking higher resolution might help with that issue and promote better/healthier habits and posture for competitive gamers.
Who cares about esport players. Let them play on their crappy high refresh screens. The rest of us will enjoy 27 inch 1440p which is a much nicer size and allows me to see objects in games.
@@portman8909I’m not an esports player but i do want a 1440p monitor on a tn panel which is almost non existent rn. I play rhythm games and the ips monitors I’ve had have mad ghosting, I’m seeing double notes on high bpm songs
Just save up for an OLED, they have better motion handling and responsiveness than TN panels.

Im looming to upgrade to a 1440p and the Asus TUF monitor is going for $250 at 240hz
Depending on the game and your rig, 1080 will allow for higher fps so in tandam with a high refresh screen will look nice and smooth. On the other hand 1440 will look sharper but you may have to lower the settings to keep the fps high enough to seem as smooth. Theres a sweet spot you need to experiment and find depending on your hardware. generally the pixels per inch on a smaller screen 1080 will still look fine. But in a 60" telly your gonna see them jaggys so youll want a higher res to increase the pixel per inch count. This is all generalisation though. Again, experiment. Honestly the bigger issue is oled over led. The vastly superior colour gamet, pixel response times and the blacks, oh lord have mercey the blacks on oleds will have a vastly greater impact on your viewing pleasure then resolution. Hell some games look great at 720 on most monitor size screens. Juggle and experiment kids, juggle and experiment.
im thinking about getting 1440p, im on 1080 360 hertz, and i want to keep playing 360 hertz and im not spending more than 400 on a new monitor, iont know what to do
@@drstinky8396I just sold my ASUS rog 360 hz 1080p monitor and bought a 1440p 300hz ASUS rog
I was gaming at 1440p but due to the fact my monitor was playing up...luckly I still have my Acer VG252Q I was using 1080ti but upgraded to RX 6800 but downgrading to 1080p will increase my rig's longevity and my 5800X3D is awesome. Majority of my media consumption is 1080p so it makes sense me going back to 1080p. Gaming at 1080p is smoother and looks awesome.
Jiggled and experiment I like that
also on games optimized not as well, if you dont feel like dropping your settings you can always render in 1080p in specific games with nvidia control panel
Simple, if you play on 24" it doesn't matter, if you play on 27" and above, difference is huge
Bro to be fair I think everyone is missing the real point.
Don’t need 1080p if the highest ress you use is 1280x960 or 1024x768
we need more 1440p-4k 24-25 inch high refesh rate monitors.
True. It'll look like 4k
we need 4k 24-25 high refresh too, or 1800p, i wish that would exist, and no its not useless at that size there are 4k phones.@@deagle7602

Got a benq zowie 27 inch monitor coming, super excited for the resolution upgrade
i play single player open world games in my gigabyte g24f 1080p monitor sitting from 4feet distance. today for the first time i played ac mirage on my friend's asus proart pa278qv 27@1440p that too sitting back from same distance and i didnt see any difference. i have been listening so much from youtubers that 1440p is the sweetspot and much better than 1080p i tried really hard to find any difference but i couldnt. is there something wrong with my eyes cause i need something firm to convince myself to upgrade to 1440p.
no idea bud, but I just upgraded to 1440P and I personally see a BIG difference. So worth it if you ask me.. don't know why you did not notice much.
depend on the games the diff you will see be greater of worst xD
I don’t see much of a difference either. I mean it’s better then 1080p quality wise but not big enough to say it’s amazing. Idk maybe I need a bigger monitor.
Bc most pc gamers just buy whatever they tell them it's cutting edge but actually it's the same poo
I think it's also because of the 4feet distance. at that distance I think both would look very sharp
here is what u need:
1080p monitor only take 24 inch
1440p monitor only take 27 inch
4k monitor take 32 inch
1080p above 1440p for me. Here's why (just to help people)
1) That expensive part really does it for me. Even IF you find cheap monitors/graphics cards, it'll be expensive enough and "once" you have 1440p, there is NO TURNING BACK! So expect expensive money wasting for ever...
2) Not to mention the games. Yes competive is 1 part of the gaming community, but people who are enjoying their single player experience, will have a greater time playing at 1080p. They would technically experience it even better with 1440p, however... This will "yet again" come at a very expensive experience, cause if you see starfield, you won't be able to get 60fps so easaly...
3) IPS... If you want a good monitor, people will need to go IPS which is expensive. VA is cheaper but too dark.
4) The vast majority still plays on 1080p as mentioned by yourself, and no we are not idiots xD. There are simply those of us who don't have money...
So a good IPS 1080p144hz is still the better choice here...
Unless it's 1080p360hz, and you want 300fps, yea, those are expensive and then by all means, it's better to go 1440p.
thank youuu i felt so ashamed for getting a 1080p monitor instead lol

Great video. Guys I’m trying to have the best competitive edge. I’ve never gamed on 1440p. But I have a rig capable of 1440p @ 360hz and 1080p @ 540hz. My last step is a monitor upgrade. Which is best for First person shooters and competitive edge. Thanks
i have a 240hz 27 1440p monitor, i will say from my experience obviously it looks better especially at the size it is, but things like objects that are a medium distance away from my character become incredibly blurred in 1080p compared to 1440p
I really want utrawide as I prefer the visual enjoyment. But I'm worried about lag on ultrawide. Or should I just get 2560x1080 with high refresh rate. At the moment I have 2560x1080 but only 75hz which tares a little less than 60hz.
I'm running 2070 super so might be pushing it to run ultrawide 4k
If you only care about visual and you got the money go for the ultra wide. You will get lag on the ultra wide. With that GPU running 4K. You probably get less than 60 FPS or even less. If I was you upgrade your GPU.
You should honestly just go for 1080p high refresh rate.
You should not ignore ppi.
I just upgrade my monitor from 24” 1080p to 27” 1440p and kinda regret, I don’t see much difference in terms of graphics in gaming but quite suffer in performance. In Cyberpunk I have to turn on the frame generation with path tracing to get 60fps, I never use frame generation before in 1080p.
In the desktop display yes it’s sharper, for example the wizard installer box become smaller and have more details, but not in game graphics.
this guy is insane talking about 360 Hz monitors what the hell- i didnt even know the existed

MSI G27C4X 27" Curved Gaming Monitor, 1920 x 1080 (FHD), 1ms, 250Hz... Should do a video on this thing very cheap for a 250hz kinda skepticalits only 180 with tax
I used to have a 3.5 inch smartphone with a 480p display. I was like almost like 4-5 inches away from it sometimes and I couldn't care less about how clear the pixels are. Color accuracy and viewing angles are WAY more important as far as clarity goes. I have a 19.5 ish 1600 x 900 old ips display and I actually prefer it to some modern 1080p 21 inch ones cause it has really good colors. I am not a professional gamer but even if I could run 4k 120 in games I would still prefer even a 1080p 240 let alone 360hz.
I personally want a 1080p display cause no game has scaling issues at that resolution. I can't really tell the difference between 1080p or heck 900p to a 1440p panel
Also I agree that upscaling helps a lot with performance but guys, don't forget you can just play some of the older games on your backlog until new and faster gpus or just faster used ones come at a normal price so then you can play the then old game with ease...
I have played on more expensive systems than what I own and I can say for sure that the game you play is way more important than the hardware you are running it with.
I play @ 4k 240fps on Apex Legends and i can't go down to 1440p after that. I use a Samsung Neo G8. When OLED drops next year I'll get that and upgrade to the 5090 when that comes out.
rightio money bags haha!
damn I didnt even knew 4k display have that very high refresh rates already
Why buy a new 2K monitor to run games with low graphics settings? maybe it's better to buy 1080p but with a better matrix? For example, instead of TN, buy IPS or WOLFED and run games with high graphics settings. The user is encouraged to change the monitor to 2K in order to then change the hardware of his properly working computer, which would subsequently force him to buy more expensive hardware and bring more profit to the manufacturer? It's so disgusting, techno bloggers are not on the side of consumers but work closely in conjunction with manufacturers, because their income comes from advertising. And who pays the one and orders the music)
yes, so the optimal choice is to save money and buy a graphics card which at the same level or higher than rtx4060, and a 1440p 27" or 32" (24"?) monitor depends on preferences
I use a 1080p 27 inch 240hz, is that good?
I have 1440p 165 hz should i switch to 1080p 240hz ?
I found a 24" monitor and 1440p resolution , will be better than a 27" 1440p ??
Yes
Should I upgrade? I have 1080p 144hz .. it’s either i get 1080p 244hz or 1440p 244hz
Is 1440p monitor effects PC performance instead 1080p ?
yes it will lower your fps a little but good graphics cards nowadays run it with no problem
1080p is future proof. Getting 1440p monitor is forcing you using native resolution unless blurry. And if you dont go with 1440p you dont miss anything, 1080p offers just as wow graphics
Also 1440P makes you spend more money on upgrades.
DLSS and FSR both work better the higher the resolution you go. So this is objectively false
Future proof? 😂 Sorry no it doesn't offer just as "wow" graphics. EVERYTHING is better at 1440p. Color is far deeper. Trees, leaves, clothes all clearer and more detailed. It's not an opinion it's simply a fact. 78% is a HUGE leap. 1.78x actually. 1080p is the new 720p. It had it's time but GPUs have got so powerful that even budget ones run 1440p games above 60fps just fine.
@@smithnwesson990 Budget is a strong word...
I can say atleast for battlefield 4k > 1440p > 1080p but for games like overwatch it doesn't make nearly as much of a difference. Using the LG 27" 1440p 240hz OLED currently
I am playing low settings in battlefield to get 120+ fps at 1440p. It feels good, but I think getting 4k and increasing settings to high will feel great.
@@daniil3815 I still use low settings for all resolutions but 4k really increases target visibility at t long distances
@@znoozaros make sense. Better resolution might help to see opponents at a distance
Dunno how people use 27' . I hv tunnel vision, tall screens need to make me move my neck and it hurts after a long time. I wish they had some gaming monitors that are like 24' tall and 27' wide, something like that.
Ultrawide monitors
Will a 1080p video look worst on a 1440p monitor than a native 1080p monitor??
Yeah sure
I have a 1440p monitor and tried it out, it looks a bit blurry, you wouldn’t want to play on it, if the game supports it though you can change the render resolution to 1080p and it doesn’t look too bad. I tried it on cod and it almost looks the same as native 1440p, But changing the display resolution isn’t a great idea and better to stick to 1080 if that’s the case or if you’re worried about frames
100%
I use a 32 inch monitor and I must say. You must at least have a 2k resolution, 1080p is not cut out for the 32 inch size. The pixel scattering is just not worth it. Let it be for gaming or artwork. 1080p is simply not a minimum requirement for 32 inch monitor. Btway I now run 32 curved 165hz ips. And I must say. You have to try higher than 60 75 herts monitor, its a whole different world. But once you get in. You cant go back. Feels like youre watching a 30fps speed while doing 60.
Does the 32 inch ever feel too big compared to a 27 inch? And how far away do you sit from your monitor?
This guy is a used car sells man. 1080p is king for high level competitive gaming. I have a 27 OLED 1440p and I use my 24 inch 1080p when I want to PWN noobs.
Let me tell you. If u are on a budget with good cpu mid gpu going beyond 1080p is crazy . Coming from an editor who optimise cpu for editing with 4k monitor and mid gpu . If you think i can play with my amd 9 you are mistaken. I downscale
I dont play games just tested but you cannot play with more pixels. It bottlenecks
Thanks for that intro
i think all the midnight gaming cooked these guys retinas 😂 1080p is perfect
I personally have a 1440p monitor with 31.5" and 165hz refresh rate. I am the type of person who wants my game to look nice. I'll turn down settings if I need to but if I get at least 100fps I'm all good
some people just can't get over other's PPi
At 2:00 I disagree, I watch TH-cam at 360p on mobile on a iPhone XR and notice minimal to none changes when upping the quality, I am a 1080p gamer at heart but I just have to disagree.
Edit: I would also like to state my opinion on hz/fps, I’ve played most games on 30 fps (switch and ps3 games), and have recently played at 60 and noticed little to none in difference (when using a mouse I do realize a decent size diffeence without motion blur), upgraded to a 144hz monitor recently as well and have noticed no difference from 60 fps (will update if I do).
1440p is where its at honestly upgraded from a 1080p 144hz to a 1440p 360hz few months back and i could never go back currently still use the 144hz as my 2nd display and its actually kind of jarring how low 144hz feels now to me
but do you feel like 1440p makes a lot of difference? I'm thinking on going back to 1080p
1440p was such a game changer from 1080p. and now being on 4K, 1440p looks like 4 bit VGA, lol.
what are ur pc specs(gpu,cpu,ram) wondering bc im looking into getting a 360 1440

1080p fullscreen video will always look better on a 1080p display though.
Competitive gaming tag just needs dropping from the conversation the pro gamer bros/wannabes is like 10% of playerbase if that..most people rather run games to look good and modern not like a potato for an extra few FPS that isn't going to make any difference to there experience.
Also with DLSS upscaling been as good as it is makes it a no brainer to upgrade your not even having to push any more pixels.
More like 1%
You should never be relying on dlss unless it’s a single player experience.
Lol run 1440p at low settings or 1080p at ultra? Hmmm I wonder.
Totally agree, do you think a 7800XT / 4070 could legit push a 240hz 1440p monitor?
In an esports title, yes. In starfield/rdr2/etc, you're not hitting 240fps. I have a 7900 XTX and can't hit 240fps in those titles.
@@steve42069master I kind of figured that was the case, really only need the higher refresh range in competitive titles anyway as long as the monitor still looks good in the lower refresh ranges. I mainly play horror and FPS games.

I have a 1080p alienware monitor but im just going for fps. Never had a 1440p monitor but dont think it will make that much of a difference.
It makes a big difference in fps games, especially trying to see an enemy at distance. Well worth it
it will
It worth it i just upgraded from 1080p to 1440p monitor
Personally i don’t think it was worth it, doesn’t seem like I’m missing out on much. I’m shooting for a 1080p 240hz monitor next time but that’s just me
@@nolyfe4814its not just you, people d-ride 1440p for being "crisp" meanwhile never actually trying 1080p
1440P is absolutely not a waste. it's such a noticeable improvement, especially on something like a 27" panel and up.
What IS an absolute waste of heat and energy is 4K.
Bro I been watching your videos and this monitor you been using is glorious
Makes your fps drop I tested it my self I used the same size and same refresh 1440p makes your gps drop by at least 30 to 40 fps
U have a trash gpu
Quality dlss/fsr 1440p on a 24" 1440p screen. This is the best combo you can get
But on 24 Inch, 1080p is Fine Right?
Perfect
220$ rx 6650xt is plenty for 1440p, i can run helldivers 2 high settings at native rez at 70 fps which is more than enough. I can run apex at 190 fps medium, and havent found a game it cant run at 1440p, aslong as you are fine with high to medium
Can I play with 6700xt at high?
On 1440p but with a 21:9 screen. Cannot go back to traditional aspect ratio.
Played on my buddies lg 1080 27 inch and my 1440p 27 inch. Only difference was smoother picture on 1080 but picture quality 1440p hands down
Well since Grown men are killing the gaming industry with there involvement 1080p at 60-120 the latest games for 400 bucks is amazing for the kids since that's who there made for well.. that when men were men
1440p 240hz monitors are affordable nowadays. an RTX 3060 or 4060 will run games fine at 1440p if you're playing esports games.
i am very happy with my acer predator 1440p 240hz screen 😊
talking bollox. coming from someone who owns a 4k tv and 4k player and a physical collection, there is no quality difference in a 50 inch 1080p and 4k in the detail. until you reach insane sizes, resolution is unnoticeable. Most cinemas for nearly 20 years now have been using digital 2k resolution and you probably didn't even notice it wasn't film or 4k digital and that's a 40foot width.
LOL. Go check a doctor.
1080p sucks, 4K good monitors with equivalent features and response time will cost 2x more than 1440p, or atleast is what i'm facing on my country, so 1440p is the way to go, but yeah, if the cost difference was not so big, i would go to 4K.
On 24 inches its not a massive difference.. please ignore this.
I would like to see 1080p oled monitors, in 24" and 27", at 240 hertz.
Why 1080p?
@@autistukral It's the most common resolution for 27" monitors, and I actually prefer it, as I don't need to use scaling (windows or browser). It's also good for gaming imho (mainly for framerate).
I also want to use 27" 1080p oleds at some point on my sim racing triple monitor rig.
Driving 3x 1440p is pretty hard (at a high enough framerate), where as 3x 1080p is the sweetspot imho.
And hardware that can run 1080p is less expensive.
got a 1440p 165Hz display.... bad deal... should have stuck to 1080p 240Hz
Some think monitor will fix their skill issue.
AMD FSR looks really awful on 1080p. Just bought a 1440p 175hz monitor yesterday and it looks a thousand times better.. Dunno with DLSS, been a while since the last time I used an nvidia gpu..
I play stretched so I don't gotta upgrade at all :)
💀💀💀
One aspect you didn't mention is FOV. You can fit 1080p better into your FOV. More of the screen will be near the center of the vision, which means less movement is likely to go unnoticed. This is why I believe 4K will never be competitive. To properly see 4K, you need to sit so close to the screen that you actually need to tilt your head to see the periphery. This is great for immersion but not so great for competitive gaming. I believe 1080p is the superior format for competitive as a result. 2K is great for the average gamer who wants decent immersion and competitive performance. 4K is for whales who just want to get lost in their screen.
I speak as a person who owns 2k and knows the proper distance to sit from it. My screen fills my glasses and that's perfect for me. I doubt I will ever upgrade to 4K.
We are talking about pixel count on a same sized screen here not just getting a bigger screen...
Lol the size of your monitor and the resolution are two completely separate things dude
What about using DLDSR on a 1080p monitor? You get superior image quality and you don't have to get a new monitor.
@thomasboob559 Personally, I find it almost as good as 1440P native. Miles better than 1080P native.
@@kotztotz3530That's what I did as well. I'm using the monitor for streaming services and they don't support qhd. Got a 100hz fhd for $100 and it's fine coming from a 4k 27".
It will look better than native 1080p, but not as good as native 1440p
I have a 3440x1440 34inch monitor and I don't regret it one bit. I can never go back to 1080p, it just looks blurry to me now. lol
1080p belongs in laptops, 900p in handhelds
asking game streamers like Shroud as ex. for what is better 1080 or 1440 is not relatable because their rig is 5x powerful and capable than yours. Unless you have so much money that Nvidia loves.
1080 is just better, if you are stuck on 100 fps on med settings on a high end pc when a 1080 pc is smoother on higher fps. ue5 is eating pc alive
1080p is outdated in 2023, stick to 1080p if you can't upgrade your setup to 1440p
or stick to 1080p to increase your system's lifespan so that way, when you do upgrade...it'll be worth it and you'll see the gains.
people are this spoiled to 1440p?
oh well im keeping my 1080p moniter for 12 more years there no reason to upgread i need it for my 1080p amzon fire stick nintendo switch and 1080p bluray discs as a tv

This guy makes no sense why go 1440p if you're just going to lower the settings to low? Why not stay at 1080p high?
Least biased youtube review.
1080p is too low resolution, it is a handicap.

Go straight to 4K people. Turn off volumetric fog and similar worthless settings, and run DLSS. still looks wayyyyy better than 1440p.
Would you recommend 28" or 32" for 4K?
@@colinpierre3441 I'd go with 32" AT 4K. 120hz or higher IMO. 4K is so awesome and totally within reach if you use DLSS and optimized settings for the specific game (you can find optimized settings for any game on TH-cam).
@@routine8 Ok thanks much... seems like 32" is the way to go. Now just need to decide on VA or IPS lol. I'm not using it for gaming though, just browsing, streaming, videos, movies etc.
@@colinpierre3441 👍 enjoy! Lots of content out there about IPS vs VA to check out.
@@routine8Unless you wanna do games and movies and TH-cam you gotta go back 1080p looks wayyyyyy better than 4k.
As a not pro or competitive gamer, my take is that 1080 is fine for 24", 1080 is okay ish for 27" but on the edge of bad, and absolutely unacceptable for 32", while 1440 being good enough for 32" and 4k being awesome. To me the bigger issue is that 24" AND 27", are just too small and unacceptable to me anyways so it's all a moot point
I'm guessing you have a 32" 4K... but how far away from the monitor do you sit?
@@colinpierre3441 I have several 32" monitors. But yes obviously I sit back farther then if I had 24". My desk is custom built to be deeper to accommodate how I like my setup
@@VoidOperator Ok I see... well I think the 32" is what I'll go with then, thanks. Now just need to decide on VA or IPS lol
@@colinpierre3441 Honestly, if you're willing to spend the money on 32" 4k, just wait a bit longer. 32" OLED should finally be coming in the new year and that's really where it's at. I also use a 55" LG C2 as a monitor and I actually prefer it for gaming because of the better colors, contrast and response times
@@VoidOperator Well aside from the insane prices on those... the burn in thing sounds really troublesome to deal with.
if my 8 year old pc and gpu can run games at 1440p and 240hrz, then there is no excuse saying you can't run 1440p
Solo player games on higher resolution and esports 1080 p 240 hz
Factually any monitor with a refresh rate higher than 165hz is a waste .
And using 1080p on a 27 inches monitor is a no go in 2023.
Idk I still might buy one
4k is best
