[@biggranny000]

I went from 4k 60hz with a subpar TN panel to a much more color accurate and faster 1440p 165hz, and I'll take high refresh rate over resolution everyday, even though 4k was incredibly sharp. (Both are about the same size monitors). 1080p on high end systems creates a huge CPU bottleneck, so I think 1440p is a good balance.

[@C0Y0TE3]

Can’t you just turn the resolution down without downgrading to a different device?

[@stephenhood2948]

Id rather have 1440p/Ultra/High FPS than 4k, low-mid and 60 FPS. I can see why some would want 4k though, especially as DLSS continues to advance. I love the really nice visuals, but just don't think 4k is worth giving up the smoothness of high FPS gaming. Plus the cost of trying to get playable framerates at 4k is very high. 1440p looks good enough for me, especially after gaming at 1080p for so long. I am an old school gamer and can still remember what my Atari 2600 and Intellivision setups looked like. Once the cost of 4k gaming comes down, and 4k FPS gets higher then I will move on from 1440p, but until then I'm very happy with my setup.

[@stevelo2057]

Swapped from 32 inch 4K to 32 inch 1440p for gaming. 4k is sharper but 1440p isn’t that far behind,however ‘60fps vs 100fps is Huge.’ Honestly, budget gaming PC 1080p, mid-high range 1440p, only gamer with highest budget should go for 4k gaming.

[@dylananhorn1]

I have been debating a 4k 32" 240hz or the aw3423dw/f 165hz and I have a 4090 already. Should I go 4k with it or go performance on 1440 ultrawide? I do play some competitive games, but it's not usually my daily game more often than not I am on singleplayer games or non-competitive games. I hear a lot of raving about the new 4k's, and I think they are a little more future proof as the aw ultrawide is already a few years behind. But 4k performance still seems behind until probably 50 series comes out.

[@stevelo2057]

@@dylananhorn1 If you got 4090 and want best graphic on games. I think 4K for you, just that few demanding new games with max settings may need to turn DLSS on to have 80+fps. I will go 4K with 4090, except fps is really important for you. It’s your opinion, fps vs sharpness. 4090 is a bit OP for 1440p, 4K for me.

[@dylananhorn1]

@stevelo2057 I completely agree that 4k is better with 4090, and I have the money for my new monitor ready to go. The thing is, tho the 4k 240hz is 1000-1400$ and I prefer the ultrawide 21:9 ratio. So with the Gen 3 ultrawide coming next year as 5k2k. I am debating if it's worth spending that amount if I want to change my monitor in the next year. I definitely don't want to stick with 1080 for a whole extra year waiting. Currently, I will wait a bit longer for the msi 34cqpx, which is 2.5gen. How do you think the resell value of the 4k 240hz will be in a year?

@@dylananhorn1 I am in the same boat, with a 7900XTX and already have 2 (use 1 for gaming) 4K IPS panels at 60Hz, which i want to replace.

I am also aware of 5k2k next year, but you need a beast of a graphics card to get decent FPS out of them (more pixels as a 4K screen) and i am sure these won't be cheap. I play a lot of FPS games so that's a thing. I can always buy the second screen somewhere in the future or replace something later on. But yeah, it's difficult about what to do. Already thinking and researching for a while what to do. Also, at the end of this year i'm going to build a new PC with the Ryzen 9000 series for a good performance increase overall.

4K OLED here, 120Hz, which is reasonble to drive. Wouldn't give it up for higher refresh at lower resolution. All comes down to each person, and what they prefer. Some people want response time, some people want fidelity. Not everyone cares about online shooters.

[@Mortlock2204]

The human eye at 20:20 Acuity has a focal point resolution somewhere around 420~ Megapixels for whatever we are specifically looking at at any time. So you will definitely notice differences between 1080p and 4K. As you said in the video, it’s MUCH more resource friendly to push 1440p instead of 4K so it might be possibly going on here is a reduction in overall Input Delay. Input Delay/ Input Lag is how long it takes for any action/change to physically show up onto your display. So pushing the game through 1440p should theoretically improve your experience: I say theoretically because a proper 4k monitor has an input delay of 8ms or less vs 4-5ms for a 1440p; so your improvements will not come from the monitor. However, your system should theoretically process 1440 faster than 4k giving you not only more frames but lower input delay; 44.4% lower input delay if I’m looking at the numbers correctly. This could be significant or completely negligible depending on how finely tuned your machine is so it might be worth looking at. A PC player has several tools to SERIOUSLY tune their rig for maximum performance. A Console is considered to already be pre-performance-tuned but with no access to tools, we can’t really tell.

I can get over 100 on most games at 4k and can fiddle with settings/upscaling if I want more. Love the eye candy personally but thats just me.

Until then I have a 32" 1440p that is 4 years old and is still great, 144hz, freesync, no hdr, etc. I'm not exactly suffering here.

[@MattL4J]

Specifically for overwatch, your outline thickness on enemy players shrinks with higher resolution. If you try setting render res at 50 or try using fsr with a lower res, you should notice the difference immediately. Thicker outlines makes tracking and target acquisition much easier, so it’s no surprise that 1440p > 4k.

[@Varnishes]

[@rody2213]

My 4080 super will last a lot longer at 1440p. I get to crank up the settings, even on the games that are difficult to renderwith ray tracing occasionally and still get high frame rates. On consoles, there's a great argument for 1440p as well because a lot of open world games render closer to 1440p on performance modes than 4k, so you'll always have a sharp image with the 1440p monitor.

It really depends on the types of games you play and at what viewing distance. I think the new 4k 32 inch Oled monitors with 240 hz is the best. I can still get high refresh on shooters and get immersion on everything else. For me I like the best of both worlds and yes it takes a very high end build but I buy nice not twice. Currently using lg c2 42 inch and have debating on one of the new 32 inch 4k oleds but I game mostly on controller but depends on the game really. To each their own. My friends preach about 27 inch 1440p but yet I still smoke them in shooters. I do understand but let’s be real most people aren’t e sports pros. I’ve been enjoying more immersive games lately than the same old , cod, destiny, Fortnite etc….. so I still get well over 165 FPS in 4k on those titles in 4k.

Now I own 4090 and get around 180hz on warzone while on the 2k I get 240hz easily but still feel the crisp of 4k is a bigger advantage that is until 5090 comes out and reaching 240hz on 4k becomes more possible.

I see many comments about clarity, 4K does look good, but it looks better if you can maintain 144+ fps. If that's thrashing your GPU then you are probably better off at 2K. High fps does improve clarity and sharpness, so i would prefer higher fps at lower resolution than the other way around. If you don't have an OLED display it doesn't really make much what resolution you use, an OLED should be your next upgrade (for gamers and watching movies) get whichever resolution your GPU can comfortably maintain a matching FPS output, you're not going to be disappointed. OLED's feel faster than their Hz would suggest, they really make a big difference to the gaming or movie experience (especially HDR content)

Same pixel density like 24 inches FHD monitor. I use flat screen 270Hz QHD 32" Acer Predator XB323UGX for 18 months. I am thinking about getting 43" 4K for my next monitor TBH.

[@Bustxp]

i use 1440p 165Hz 32" Rog Strix curve monitor, 14700KF with RTX 4070Ti Super. i think thats a very good config. 😁

a prebuilt 4090 pc is crazy 😬how are the temps

[@Cons2911]

Would love to have 4k but my aging rig won’t be able to push the frames.. and I don’t see myself paying 2k for a GP2 anytime soon.. unfortunately I can no longer afford those

[@EvilOneee]

I just got a rog swift 32 inch woled 4k 240hz What about a 4080 super tbf I just got a rig which is relatively good, i9 14000kf 4080 super 32 gb ram. Would it be good? For playinf in 4k and what type of settings would i be looking at. New to the current generatiom of gaming. Havent had a rig since like 2012

I have a 4k 27inch 144hz a 42 inch 4k 120hz oled, 24 inch 1440p 165hz and a 24 inch 1080p 240hz. I cant do anything but 4k anymore. I tried, once you go 4k, you dont go back.

[@TerkelNL]

i play RDR2 on my LG oled TV with a 3080TI GPU looks insane man even on 1440p the dlss makes it looks 4k

It matters what you play. 4K could be awesome in games like Frostpunk.

[@ardithconley2628]

I put this in the search area and I get nothing. Why or how am I getting 4k on 1440p monitors. How is that possible. The Septre . (C325B-QWN168W our of the box. Nothing on this monitor says 4k. It is great and very bright but It does do 4k 3840x2160. Nothing on the box or Amazon says it is 4k. Strange thing is I have a LG t 27QN600-B 27hat used to just get 1449p but I built another PC and while setting up the display using that monitor I noticed it would suddenly do 3840x2160 also. I want to know why this is happening? I hear nobody talking about it.

[@RatFendi]

If you’re a competitive gamer and dc about being able to see every inch of dirt 1080p is the best

[@Dangeruss]

Wait a minute didn't your switch to 1080p a while back. 😂

[@MinimalisTech]

haha yeah! I was promptly roasted, apparently pros have been at 1440p for a while. Lots still on 1080 tho but apparently these newer OLEDs at 240hz+ have been the way to go? I’m still trash but I’m better on 1440p 27” lol

[@theswagger5386]

@@MinimalisTech Pretty sure almost every Apex pro is on 1080p. A lot of them use Zowie's. Any thought's on Zowie's vs OLED's? I heard Zowie's are still better than OLED's for comp.

@MinimalisTech, your insights are invaluable! The revelation that many professionals are transitioning to 1440p monitors was quite the eye-opener. I’ve been contemplating an upgrade for some time, and your informative content is nudging me closer to making a decision. The 1080p vs. 1440p debate is a tough one, but I’m eager to see what further wisdom you’ll share on the matter. Keep up the great work - your channel is a gem for tech enthusiasts! 👍👍

nobody ever talks about what your ping is. Some areas of the country do not have fiber yet. 1080 might be best case scenario.

Does 1440p gaming looks good on a 4k monitor? I want to buy a 4k 32 inch monitor to watch movies in 4k and play games in 1440p. I am thinking of Gigabyte M32U monitor.

[@Zer-md2ls]

Unfortunately, 2K won't look good on a 4K monitor, this is a good explanation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5yUfpenZtJgbbs

[@Freddie2916]

On a 27 inch monitor I cannot tell the difference between 1440p and 4K they both look great.

[@Goblue734]

4K OLED 32 inches is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen I could never imagine a world where I go back back to 1440 P 🤷🏻‍♂️ you simply just can’t unsee it when I look at 1440 P now it looks like dog💩

[@J.Wick.]

4k has it's place. In certain, slower games I like 4k. But for shooters, etc. Especially "competitive" (whether I am or not) I prefer 1440p.

[@J.Wick.]

@@raeeslatif9422 didn't say it was better. Said I preferred it.

more frames.

[@CamaraRod98]

4k 120hz is the way to go

[@masonrawdon155]

😮I hear 4k is so good but without a 4090 or unless u want single player 150ish fps games there'd 0 point if u r competitive or like fps at all higher refresh rates just make more sense 7900xt and 34 inch 1440p 240hz user here and I would never trade for 4k

[@ArtiicxAzreal]

I play on the 4K for games like diablo, wow, cyberpunk etc en my 1440p for competitive fps games

[@Pillokun]

I had 3 monitors at 1440p, one ips at 170hz and two world at 240hz, and even the 240hz oleds were too limiting with its 240hz refresh rate. 390hz 1080p is better until we get those 1440p 480hz oleds.

[@Varnishes]

mfs acting like the more frames they have the better they'll play lmao

"Clapping 12 yr olds" 😭🤣

[@inceptionsd]

Not sure if the pros would approve gaming with wireless mouse, though.

[@bathsaltfiend986]

pros don't play at high resolutions. high refresh rates are king. if you beef up the resolution to 8k chances are your game of choice won't be able to keep frame events (1% lows, 0.1% lows) at competitive rates(>120hz) even if your pc rig is an overkill. a lot of games even stand to benefit from lower resolutions because of it's impact on fov/aspect ratios. so. your presupposition is just plain wrong.

[@theswagger5386]

Thanks for the video! Is it bad to play 1080p on a 1440p 360hz OLED? My pc can’t handle 360hz on 1440p

[@ell1cs]

What's your gpu and cpu and what games you intending on playing is the key here.

[@puffyips]

lmao

[@theswagger5386]

@@ell1cs 4080 13700kf Apex Legends My actual question was, is it bad to downscale resolution for any reason that isn’t obvious? My pc can handle anything, but I prefer 1080p because I run a single pc stream and want to minimize pc latency.

[@ell1cs]

@@theswagger5386 It's not necessarily bad but you can really tell when something is 1080 a lot more because of the pixel density of a 1440p monitor as opposed to a 1080p counterpart. The size makes 1080 look terrible when you drop resolution. I tested apex btw, and it locks at 300 for me at 1440p low with a 7900xt and 5800x3D.

[@theswagger5386]

@@ell1cs ohhh ok, thanks so much for the info! I didn’t take the size into consideration, I play on a 24 inch so 1080p isn’t an issue. But I can definitely see what you mean, probably best to go 1440 on a 27 inch.

[@Krypterium]

1440p is definitely the best for PC 4k suits more with Consoles assuming supports 120hz

[@zackfair_og]

What if I have a 4090 and want a 4k display? Is that viable? Whats the best 4K display?

[@ricktheweeb5382]

im personally going for a 4k 240hz oled monitor from samsung but they are around 1000 or so, but the 4090 will defiantly be able to push for 240hz for most games on 2k with no raytracing and from what ive seen it gets around 80 fps on highest settings and raytracing on 4k for some of the big games.

[@sauceyballs]

4090 paired with the asus pg32ucdm oled is just sex. It can be taxing on gpu depending on game. If you want to sweat you can simulate 24in or 27in on the monitor or do by pixel and change resolution so you have flexibility. Although 240hz can only be applied in certain resolutions
