As a more casual gamer who also likes to watch movies and videos. A 1440p is the way to go as we get a better quality. Also with game settings you can manually turn down the quality, therefore having both a 1440p and 1080p monitor in one (to some extent)

[@MichaelHarto]

One thing i'm quite shocked to learn was fighting games are much more reliant on fast response time & refresh rate compared to FPS games despite their framerate being capped to 60 fps. All for the sake of minimizing input delay. Since their reactions are based on each frame or 16 ms, they really need stable & low input delay. Pro players read frame data like a bible.

[@vtheman1850]

Oh yeah, pro fighting game players are honestly, in my humble view on a whole different level, reaction times are one thing, but these guys strategize their playstyles and complex button input attack patterns based on rendering frame times in their games, and learn it so deeply that they are able to pivot on a dime. Srsly the God-est of gamers in my opinion.

[@JohnnyRecords]

Are you kids? The way you talking as if pro gamers are like so complex.

[@MichaelHarto]

@@JohnnyRecords well, they are. You probably think fighting game players just input combos and mash buttons. Their whole game is based on how many frames each attack does and how to capitalize or punish any attack from the opponent based on how many frames their attack is active. They even made a new type of input device/controller called "hitbox" to minimize the frames needed to execute a move.

I don't even know if that whole periphery vision is true. More likely that pro gamers are just given 24" at tournaments because it saves space, and so that's how they practice in response. Same reason many play with their keyboard slanted.

[@PhillipJermakian]

I am sure for a pro the difference between which ever is better is a difference of being rank 50 or rank 53. The response time is the most important thing, a 27inch 1440p monitor also wins if you have a setup where you are a foot further back then normal I would imagine. With response time cpu gpu and ram overclocking are worth a lot too, playing with ram overclocking I got my DDR5 36 6000 up to 30 6600 and that dropped my system latency from 75ns to 65ns.

[@shiro5392]

I have the AOC Q24G2A which is one of the few 24 inch high refresh rate IPS 1440p monitors at 165hz. I also don't think size matters as much as people think. You can see some videos of some FPS pros having their monitor less than a foot away from their face while in tournament. It's all really about viewing distance and space on your desk. If you have a 27 inch further away and a 24-inch closer, they'll be equivalent size from your perspective. The advantage of 1440p is you can actually have more detail on small objects and enemies far away. The disadvantage is it's harder to run if you have a bad GPU. But if you have anything recent. In Most FPS games where it matters, you can easily get 400-500 FPS at 1440p. Personally, the one disadvantage of this monitor I got is actually the size and scaling. By default, 1440p defaults to 125% scaling on Windows without you changing anything. But I actually have this monitor closer to my face now than any other 1080p 24-inch monitor I've had it in the past. And stuff is still slightly too small such as text some sites. I'm not also sure if scaling applies to games as much as it does to applications like chrome, as some chats in games seem extremely small even with their chat size at max. Also, 150% scaling (the next size up) is too big imo, while 125% is a tad too small, if you could set a custom size inbetween this would be less of an issue. I also don't really think the higher PPI as a result of 1440p on 24 inch is that great. As I said, I move the monitor closer to me on my desk, making it sort of meaningless. It's still higher PPI than a 1080p 24 inch or 1080p 27 inch at equivalent viewing distance. But really it's too small to benefit from the PPI in a meaningful way. The advantages of a 27 inch 1440p would be that it's slightly higher PPI than a 24 inch 1080p at the same distance. But the bigger advantage is that everything is bigger and therefore actually clearer. A crisp, tiny KZbin icon is worthless. Same way, a crisp tiny enemy is worthless. This is why pros often are so close to their monitor, imo.

Immediate red flag. It also says they use LG panels so I wouldn't I just buy an LG?

I went back to 1080p gaming do to the lack of ultra wide support on many titles, along with countless resolution problems during streaming different titles. 1080p just works.

[@delveticas]

1440 is unsupported by many games, really? or you mean some unpopular specific resolution

[@Quake_X1]

@@delveticas My main problem is aspect ratio support, ultra wide/super wide is very lacking in many games. 21:9, 32:9 Aspect ratios are unsupported in plenty of games. When this aspect ratio isn't supported, you have to lower your resolution to fill in the black bars the game doesn't account for. When you lower your resolution to lower than what your native screen is you run into unique "resolution problems" of their own. Screen tearing, forced full screen, blown up imagines, random display swaps on a multi monitor setups. It's not an issue of high-resolution support. There's is also streaming issues with canvas support for ultra wide aspect ratios. The Ultra Wide Support I find lacking in this day and age. I usually have to go third party mods in order to get even new games working with those aspect ratios. It ends up not being worth it. Going 1080p was a personal choice being I do play some older games that don't support new resolutions.

Most of 1080p monitors nowadays are budget products or if they are more expensive then they are full gaming monitors. So most of those monitors will be without wide gamut and even if having wide gamut, they will have some color reproduction problems and etc. 1440p monitors are mostly done with wide color gamut and they trying more to adjust them and put better panels because higher budget on all around product still for gaming.

[@StinkyQT]

Not sure 165hz is considered "high" for refresh rates nowadays

[@e5disintegrate]

CPU throttling will actually happen more with a lower resolution, because the more fps you push, the more your cpu has to keep up. Adding quality settings and increasing the resolution will offload some of that to the GPU at the expense of FPS.

[@taxa1569]

Not... how that works O.o It isn't offloading anything to the GPU by stressing the GPU more. It's just stressing the GPU more to the point where the CPU is still doing the same thing just... within a longer timeframe. Same in reverse, Also known as a bottleneck. You're just picking which one to bottleneck. And CPU bottlenecks always 'feel' worse, because the CPU controls everything else in the system. Keyboard, mouse, network controllers. 100% CPU usage can do weird ass things to everything and anything. For anyone that might benefit from a lifetime gamer's advice. Limit your fps, always. That way you have neither a CPU nor GPU bottleneck, it basically minimises stutters and long frame times because neither CPU nor GPU are pegged at 100% when a particularly demanding scene renders.

[@leanlifter1]

@@taxa1569 The adaptive sync means you don't have to cap frames anymore with no input lags that come with vsync but all the positives like a stable image with no tearing at any framerate.

[@mttrashcan-bg1ro]

Low settings, resolution included, will use my CPU due to it pumping more frames, increases graphics settings can often increase CPU usage with settings like draw distance, or anything increasing the density of objects and AI, and especially ray tracing. If your GPU is asleep then a higher resolution will often no reduce your fps if your CPU can't keep up anyway, and having your fps uncapped with the CPU at it's limit will cause more stutters than letting the GPU stay at 99%. There's too many variables and factors that play in to it for there to be a "be all and end all", and this is what pro players don't understand is that there's always a downside somewhere. You can cap your fps with Rivatuner to like 120fps if your PC was getting 150fps and it should be constant with a flat frame time graph and be smooth, but pros like having uncapped because it has the more "up to date" information, it's just preference.

It is much more comfortable, viewing angles are better, your eyes strain less etc. Speaking from experience. Now, I don't have a crazy good rig, since I just can't afford to build a high end or even a mid tier gaming pc, so I opted for NucX-i7. Thunderbolt dock for cleaner set up, switched my flat 24" regular ass monitor to a 144hz 23.8" curved monitor and it feels exponentially better. I do have a VESA arm, and I tend to move my monitor a bit closer to me when I'm playing games. Had a 27" monitor at work (not for gaming purposes, obviously) and my eyes start to hurt fairly quickly.

My ryzen 5800x3d and 4090 are more than capable to provide me with fps in any competitive games i play. And on 4K screen you can crystal clear run 1080p since downsampling will be easier without any blur (unlike 1080p on QHD monitor, where downsampling to 720p would be optimal).

Nearly zero response time with oled compared to led. 1440p sharpness and 27 inch is still small enough. IMHO this right here is the new standard and we can finally say goodbye to 1080p. There are OLEDS just announced out that are 480hz 1080p. But these would only be for games like CS, valorant, league that can hit those framerates. If you can’t hit those framerates because you play CoD or apex for example, the 240/360hz are perfect and you get the added benefit of 1440p clarity

Honestly, the average gamer, or content consumer for that matter isn't really "educated" enough to take full advantage of resolutions and how they are derived to encourage clarity. Productivity is much different, however, i'm going to speak mostly about content consumption. 1080p for example is a resolution that was designed when people sat greater distances from their displays. The rule of thumb for 1080p is 1.5x the size of the screen away for seating distance. So Ideally, with a 24" monitor for example, you would be recommended to sit at maximum 3 feet away, you can sit less if your vision isn't perfectly 20/20. A 24" monitor, at 3 feet away, would have the same clarity as a 2560 x 1440p monitor at 1.5 feet away for example. So in reality, if you have good vision, and you're sitting close to your screen and using high pixel density at the same time, you're technically robbing yourself. Personally, with 20/15 vision, I sit about 3 feet away from a 29" 2560 x 1080p monitor, its powered by a 7900 XTX/i7 14700k system, this is what I use to game on. At just about 3 feet away, a little under, with 20/15 vision, I have the exact same acuity of a 1440p monitor. Because visual acuity for a 1440p monitor would be about 2 or so feet away. To better represent this. Visual acuity is flat rate. So, if you're sitting in visual acuity for 1080p at 3 feet, then you're also witnessing the same visual acuity for 1440p at 2 feet. Because visual acuity is as its worded, visual acuity, meaning there is no longer a way to discern pixels from one another. So basically, in short, when it comes to resolutions, the rule of thumb is: The closer you want to sit, the more expensive it becomes. The further away you want to sit, the more you get for your money while maintaining the clarity of greater resolutions.

that was actually really interesting to read lol

[@TheManWithoutNarcissisms]

@@robbielyricsz1262 Thanks, I work as someone who designs environments for large format displays. There's a lot of information that is simply not taught to consumers when it comes to taking advantage of pixel density for content consumption (not productivity).

Getting a monitor that's good for competitive and using Gsync and HDR on it kind of defeats the whole point though.. Those add a lot of input lag. HDR just doesn't feel worth the input time loss, some monitors have terrible performance when that's not turned off. And Gsync is literally ONLY good if you experience screen tearing without it. It's not as bad as Vsync, but it's still bad. It fixes the tearing but adds even more input lag due to the nature of how the feature works. If you have high fps, and your monitor can reach that high, and you see no screen tearing when it's off, keep it off!!. It's one of the most noticeable settings when it comes to input lag. It's possible that you don't see input lag either way. Most people don't notice unless they do a 1-to-1 side by side comparison. It's the kind of thing you think you're not missing out on, until you try and realize how important that is for not only playing competitively, but for games in general to "feel" good, or almost as natural to control as your body in real life. Once you go into that territory, everything will start to make sense, but it's really hard to go back. Also, all monitors write 1ms on the box nowadays. But the actual refresh rate actually varies a LOT from one to another. If you're going to mention specs, you should get the test results instead. Rtings is pretty good at that, they give a lot of information so I would recommend you google that and look for yourself. These guys are doing god's work. They also have giant lists of tested monitors that can be sorted by a bunch of criteria of your choice, for exemple native resolution input lag @max refresh rate. You'll see just how much difference there is between medium to top tier monitors, it's quite interesting. They all have the same 1ms written on the box though, except OLED monitors are 0.1 or 0.01. It's just how fast the pixels are rated, but it's more a generic thing tied to the type of hardware. having low response time doesn't necessarily mean you will feel low input lag. The monitor companies never tell you how delayed inputs are....... so you could get one that looks super good visually, which can work for watching movies, but that has a 30+ ms of delay. So as soon as you actually try to play something, it'll feel really bad and everything will feel more difficult. There is a relation, but "not seeing a difference in input lag on a 1ms monitor" just doesn't mean anything. The response time is just the time screen pixels take to change colors, which varies from color to color. It could affect how fluid the image seems to be moving, if fast-moving things are staying clear or getting blurry, etc... but it's not directly linked to input lag. Of course cutting refresh rate in half would cut your input delays by about the same... because you need twice the time for colors to change. But that alone is too small to mean anything meaningful to anyone. So you could get input delays despite having a 240hz "1ms" monitor, due to hardware, system utilization, graphics card, usb ports, or even your usb cable or blutooth. Anyway, figured someone has to tell you all this stuff if you're gonna do that type of reviews. I can't believe there isn't a single soul around kind enough to at least tell you to turn off your Gsync when you have a fast enough monitor.................... that's just mean guys

Such a bad video.

1440p is not 2K

[@nunyabidnes6010]

It's commonly referred to as 2k. Even if technically it is not.

[@Egleu1]

@@nunyabidnes6010 not commonly. 1920x1080 is 2k, not 2560x1440. Unless he's referring to a 4:3 monitor that's 1920x1440 then sure.

[@xnyte]

1440p is 2k buddy but I agree. We don't call 1080p, 1920

[@Egleu1]

@@xnyte No it is not. 2k refers to the horizontal pixel. Since 1080p is 1920 horizontal pixels, that is 2k.

[@xnyte]

I get what you mean. If that’s the case we should be calling 4k, 2k. Since it’s 1920x1080 = 1080p and 3840x2160 = 4k. Should be 2k with that logic.

"Sent me two monitors to review and give away." Lost me here with any genuineness of the review.
