Sure, GOOD 1440p monitors have become so affordable, but the thing is 1080p monitors have also become even cheaper these days. Plus affordable GPU that can run 1440p smoothly is such a rarity these days that most people still game on 1080p resolution anyway. And 1080p does NOT look good on a 1440p monitor. It's noticeably blurrier than just playing natively on a 1080p monitor. That's why I think 1080p monitors are still popular in 2024 over 1440p monitor. The GPUs are holding them back.

@@HifeMan 1080 Ti saw me through 7 years of 1440p. And before that 1440p was "ok-ish" on a GTX 970 before that. A 3060 12gb (overclocked) is pretty close to a 1080 Ti. 1440p has been playable, without huge spending, for a loooong time. It isn't gpu's so much as it is the fairly common desire for ray tracing (which really abuses gpu's). That, and Nvidia using vram as a gatekeeper feature to vamp the market. Ray tracing, by itself, is about a $400 "eye-candy feature" (for same fps performance), sometimes more. 4000 series somewhat addressed this, but is still gatekeeping on vram. AMD's run fantastic on raster, many 6000 series cards ace 1440p, but they likely won't have ray tracing in a good place until 8000 series. I'd argue that on a budget, 1440p without RT looks much better than 1440p with RT, and raster 1440p is plenty affordable.

[@josuad6890]

I think this is where DLSS may shine though. I mean, look at it from upscaling perspective. DLSS balanced on 1440p panel will look as decent as native 1080p resolution, and DLSS quality on 1440p panel is well, slightly inferior to native 1440p. But DLSS quality on 1080p panel is just.. bad, vaseline smeared kind of bad. And honestly, all recent AAA games right now have some sort of upscaling baked in already, upscaling has become the norm. Games that do not have upscaling yet are mostly indie games that are rather light on GPUs anyway.

Unless the gamer is focusing more on competitive games or use for work or general entertainment activities (browsing the internet, watching series/movies/animation).

I know people throw a lot of flak at image upscaling, but I remember gaming before it was a thing and man, if your GPU couldn't pull off native resolution at the lowest settings, the idea of image quality became a distant dream, even dropping down to only like 80% resolution scale started getting gnarly on the aliasing. Nowadays we got DLSS/FSR/XESS quality looking damn near native at ~67% res scale, there may be some artifacts sometimes but boy do we take for granted the ability to just effortlessly put our performance in a higher GPU tier at little to no visual cost, just wasn't a thing 6+ years ago.

And despite that out of touch tech channels want you to believe, normal people do not feel the need to upgrade their monitors after several years. They are basically good until they break and they do not break. This is why market share will be very slow to turn and for 1440p to actually become a new norm.

[@walter1824]

Yeah but in the future you`ll be forced to run at 1080p if you have a mid range GPU Running 1080p on a 1440p screen doesn`t line up pixels so for each pixel it renders 1.3333 pixels (unlike 4k > 1080p which combines 4 pixels into 1). Also the large size monitor viewed at shorter distance will make it blurrier. The fix is to remember to display image with *Black Bars* to fix both problems

[@rhoharane]

In practice, it's not too bad imo. The blurriness is more obvious in some games than others. Might depend on the AA or post-process effects they use. A lot of recent games also let you set a render scale in smaller increments to dial in how much sharpness vs performance you want, so blurry 1080 and sub-60fps 1440 aren't actually your only choices. A few games even weirdly look better at 90% render scale than 100%. But the UI always stays sharp in those games.

[@stefannita3439]

I think he's talking more about newcomers or people building a fresh PC in general.

[@resteel1525]

99% of games ever released will look basically the same at 1080p for lack of geometric density, lack of texture resolution, and good visual design. If your game requires 1440p to be able to see, it is probably poorly designed, like the games with yellow tape everywhere to distinguish between static, un-interactable meshes and the linear path forward. Even games now are running at 720p on console routinely using a hack to upscale fake detail in what is glorified anti aliasing. I am disappointed by the lack of 1080p options going forward, and have roll my eyes at all the people who trash talk it. It's hard to take them seriously when they don't mention what they are comparing. 1080p on a 1440p monitor is going to look worse than on a 1080p monitor because the monitor will have to upscale it, and it is standard to do so by blurring the picture. If you just got a 1440p monitor, chances are, there are a lot of other things that are better about it, like this video explains, which could contribute to perception. Everyone ignores these considerations and uncritically parrots "1440p is the sweetspot! 4k is overrated even though the jump from 1440 to 4k is bigger than 1080 to 1440!" In fact, the idea that 4k is too much is in principle the same idea that 1440p is too much. If your game was not a PS5 exclusive open world game with distant detail and no anti aliasing, 1440p is more than you need. 1080p is the definitive resolution for compatibility with existing software and the last console generation, including Nintendo Switch, and offers more performance and less temporal blur with more performant native rendering with no weird resolution switching driver hitches, etc. Switch, PS4 gen, PS3 gen will generally look better on a 1080p monitor unless you have an expensive upscaler, because they are incapable of outputting a higher signal, and there is no reason to play the PC versions of those games in 1440p or 4k for more than 30 minutes when they were designed around 1080p or sub 1080p for consoles where higher couldn't even be output. A 1080p monitor will use less power, produce less heat, have better compatibility, is lower cost, is more easily replaceable, has higher refresh rate for the money, is more compact, and at 24" is the ideal size for a desk setup 2 feet away from your eyes (for games, not productivity). That is only true, however, before the PC Master Racist hivemind gaslights the industry into thinking 1080p is obsolete and no one manufactures decent quality 1080p monitors anymore. 1440p will never be the target resolution for the mainstream now that 4k is here, which makes it even worse.

By then, I'll likely upgrade my PC and be in a better position to invest in a quality 4K OLED monitor. The increased screen real estate and higher resolution of 1440p will already make a big difference, especially since I work from home. Plus, the improved motion clarity and color accuracy will be great for both gaming and media consumption.

[@foxandro]

Also been thinking about the one you got. Not sure if I want an OLED since I'm using it for more than gaming or if ill say screw it and risk burn in.

[@thetechrealist]

Yuck, why does everybody think regular LCD is still good enough? We don’t even have LCD on most mid to high end phones anymore… QLED or even VA is the minimum if you’re going to upgrade from any LCD monitor

[@256shadesofgrey]

When a 15 game *average* is 60 FPS that means that about half the games are below 60 on average. And in games that are above 60 on average, there are probably places where they drop below 60 too. So 4060 and 7600 really are not suitable for 1440p. Also 8GB of VRAM are limiting.

[@Rullino32]

@@fgdvdszedsa 60fps is still a good framerate for most people, or at least in AAA titles, we're already struggling with framerates in that regard since even that is becoming unattainable unless you lower settings and resolutions or use upscaling and frame generation.

[@pryo6382]

W take. I honestly love 1080p, and I never once thought it was too low or anything of the sorts. This could be due to having a good 1080p panel, too.

[@bbbbbbb51]

​@@pryo6382for me it's the jaggies. I still use 1080p, but most AA implementations at this resolution introduce jaggies and it drives me crazy. It's one of the reasons I'll actually take an upscaler or TAA if offered, because the blur they introduce at least helps hide the jagged edges. At 1440p or higher, I'm fine with even FXAA

[@KCswiish]

@@pryo6382 What's your monitor mate?

[@REgamesplayer]

Oh, you needed to stay silent about performance part. Modern games became A LOT more demanding and it is one of the reasons to stay at 1080p. Especially since people who are buying budget parts are going to have lowest tier GPUs. So your point is moot.

[@SapiaNt0mata]

games don't become demanding. i play Lords of the Fallen with unreal engine 5 on my 2019 PC at 1080p/60+ fps. what starts to happen is developers not optimizing the games cause DLSS/FSR and frame generation. did you see the requirement for Star Wars Outlaws, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Assassin's Creed Shadows? you need upscaler for 1080p/60 fps at medium settings and frame generation for higher settings. and this will continue cause devs will not optimize the games since you can get fps with upscaler and frame generation. but when you require these for 1080p/60 fps at medium settings, it will take a while for 1440p to replace 1080p.

[@REgamesplayer]

@@SapiaNt0mata You just described how they become demanding. The issue with those games is that they often use more advanced engines. In addition, they start using some inherent raytracing capabilities which tank performance. Also, those games tend to look better than games which came before, so their growing requirements are justified.

[@SapiaNt0mata]

@@REgamesplayer demanding my ass. my 2019 PC = ryzen 2700x and rx 5700 can play Lords of the Fallen(2023) = unreal engine 5 at high settings with 60 fps without upscaler. with newer parts i could run it at 1440p. devs are just lazy and don't want to optimize the games, and they use upscalers as a crutch. Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin's Creed Shadows don't look better than older games. they look worse. you need upscaler for 1080p/60 fps at medium settings. what does this tell us? that Ubisoft devs got lazy with optimization and use upscalers as a crutch. and this trend will continue.

[@Dogtastick]

Yes the prices and quality have improved greatly but 1440 is still pretty niche because the tier of graphics card you need to run it well is still prohibitively expensive. The time that 1440 really takes off is when the low end graphics cards are able to run it without any of the upscaling nonsense. If you buy a 60 class GPU to run 1440 even with upscaling the life of the GPU will be very short before having to upgrade especially as GFX memory has become more important for scaling and other features such as RT. This from a guy that has been building PC's for 30+ years and went 1440 18 months ago but had to pay about >30% more for his rig for the privilege.

[@Tubes78]

I have a OLED 1440p Ultrawide and absolutely love it. Only drawback is the GPU needed to power this thing with heavy AAA games at high refresh rates. You'll upgrade more often.

1080p will still be 1080p as long as I have the GPU that I have, because GPUs that can give me the same frames in 1440p that I get in 1080p are close to $1K. Edited for those who couldn’t comprehend.

These videos always remind me of the ads at the beginning of movies like when watching a VHS tape showing how good DVD was, then later those ads showing DVD vs Bluray while watching a DVD. Watching this on my 1080p 27" from 2017 doesn't show much difference with the 1440p content, even pushing 4k video on KZbin. Also like around the 9:50 mark he kinda just says get a 4k display with upsampling tech like dlss which dismisses 1440p. :)

[@Fennek_Kaipii]

We are working towards that the last 4 years now and depending on how many Hz you really need and the size it was viable price/performance for a while already... Also for racing centric entry level, you can get kinda cheap 21:9 1080p now too...

[@silverwerewolf975]

9:40 solution, optimize games and fuck upscalers and TAA 😊

[@SapiaNt0mata]

good luck with optimization in newer games. did you see the requirements for new games like Monster Hunter Wilds, Star Wars Outlaws, and Assassin's Creed Shadows? for 1080p/60 fps at medium settings, you need upsacaler. for higher settings, you also require frame generation. a gpu like 4060 = 1 of the top most purchased gpu cause it cost like $300 ain't gonna see 1440p even with upscaler and frame generation. you will need a 4070 and the upcoming 5070 = $600-700. for 1440p to replace 1080p, the $300 gpu(4060 and AMD equivalent) should have the performance of 4070 and enable upscaling for high and above settings.

LMAO, tell me you know nothing withot telling me. 1440p on performance mode looks better than native 1080p. With how good upscaling looks and how garbage native AA does, nobody is going to use native res in future anyways. AND consoles literally run Sub HD resolutions. Even the PS3 couldn't handle 720p. To even think that cosnsoles could do 720p back in 2004 lmao

[@kennyoffhenny]

@@DragonOfTheMortalKombat your brain is gonna explode when I tell you that consoles can run native 4k. With better game optimization. You’d need a $750 computer to get the same performance. Yea a 3060 can run 1440 60fps at medium settings with DLSS, but that’s not very impressive for like a $300 card in a $600 lmao it’s 2024 buddy. The Xbox Series S could do that for $300 total, 4 years ago

idk what these reviewers are smoking, simply because their circles and the people they interact with on the daily are rocking 4060 ti and 4070 ti tier cards doesn't mean majority of gamers are running those, not everyone is willing to put 2 salaries into a damn graphics card let alone the cpu, monitor and other crap.

I bought a 144hz 25" FHD monitor in 2019 and it's still great. I considered a QHD gaming monitor but bought a Quest 2 VR headset instead because it was about the same price as a QHD gaming monitor yet offers a lot more. If I was still on 60hz, upgrading to a 144hz+ QHD 27" monitor would be a no-brainer.
