Depends on the game. For large games like battle royals where you need to see at a great distance or games like battlefield a higher resolution is essentially to detecting objects at a distance. The vast majority of them play games like cs where the maps aren’t that large so 1080p is the choice.

lol, I just downgraded from 4k to 1440p 165hz because my 3090 is starting to sweat and I absolutely cannot get a $1.5k card to keep maxing out games. 4k might look beautiful but imo its definitely not worth having to move 2.25x the amount of pixels.

Yeah, same here. PCs tend to last longer in the mid range than the high-end tier. Especially with these newer Unreal engine 5 games.

[@julianmorgan79]

Honestly, despite the awkwardness for some unoptimised games, ultrawide 3440x1440 is perfect, it immerses you, gives you extra pixels for better clarity but less demanding than 4k when running ultra or max settings. Plus they also reach 240 hz which is enough for competitive gaming.

[@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.

[@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.

PC i run 1080, xbox series x i dropped it down to 1440. As it stands right now, imo 4k is not worth it. Ppl will say "but PS5 and X were made for 4k" and im like, no, they upscale the crap out of image. These consoles dont have the power to properly process 4k, and it shows. Specially on the PS5. You can clearly see PSSR working (and failing) at times..

4K choice here. Not competitive gaming. Just enjoying life 😊

[@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]

So basically ur bad at overwatch lulul

you prefer this over the lg c2 42"?

[@SSJ2MajinMark]

Debating on buying one

[@dotxyn]

Have you tried a lower resolution on your 32" and setting scaling to 1:1 to create a smaller screen in the middle of your monitor? I do this with a custom resolution on my 32" for competitive games, creating a 27" size picture. Many monitors now even have a special mode for this.

[@QLMTA]

This creates uneven pixel wear on oled displays though.

[@dotxyn]

@@QLMTA so do movies with letterboxing, and OLEDs even have modes where you can create a smaller display with black bars, like I said. It's a perfectly acceptable technique. Displays have OLED care processes that mitigate burn in, and there's always burn in protection if you have it in your warranty

[@dotxyn]

@@QLMTA also, if you're that concerned, run windows mode with a background. There's little to no latency doing that in Windows 11.

Gaming in 4k is justified only on TV and I did it myself before I sold my 4090 (now I game on the same tv in lower resolutions using my 5L build with 4060 low profile). Doing 4k gaming on 27" monitor is mental.

keep in mind, sometimes 2k monitors will have better colors and contrast vs 4k, and 4k isnt necessary until 32 inches or above, especially if all you're doing is gaming. I also would choose visual fidelity over any hz over 240hz. You can tell the difference between 60hz-120hz, but you cant really see much difference between 120-240 and even less above that, but sometimes the higher hz monitors also have better response times

I would have to disagree and I own a dual monitors Alienware OLED 4k 240HZ 32" and Alienware LED 2k 240HZ 27" and I play shooters and care a lot about my performance on CSGo and Warzone. I will hands down pick the OLED 4K and I feel the advantage here. As for the size difference I just move this 32" a bit back and I still enjoy dominating in shooters. It seems to me no pro shooters are for real giving 4k new oled panels a true chance in competitive playing. 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.

[@Un1234l]

Very poor conclusions you came to because you didn't factor in the variables that could have affected your conclusions. It might not have been due to resolution but instead due to display technology. I.e., the responsiveness (pixel response times) of OLED vs LED. The clearer motion and colour clarity of OLED vs LED. To truly come to your conclusion on 4K vs 2K, you'd have to compare using monitors of the same technology. Also, when you say 2K, are you referring to 1920x1080 (actual 2K), or 2560x1440 (2.5K commonly mistaken as 2K)?

I did upscaling multiple times on PC games, and on EMU, it was always the same as a medium jump. Even on vids shows it's not a big jump and pics show this too. I watched vids on my 4K TV and the jump isn't big like I said it's med. People even on forums say the jump isn't that big in games, PC, or console. Text is where it shows a big difference from 1440 to 4k, Unoptimised games struggle to run native 4K even with monster cards like a 3080-4090. That problem doesn't always happen with 1440p. I'm thinking of switching back to 1440. I have been using a 4K screen since last year. 1440 I had used for like 6 year's

[@jackdaniel2623]

What many miss is monitor size and placement. Near 32" needs 4k. Placing 32" to fill view similarly to 27" and have more desk space works with 1440p. But with 1440 i fear one day 4k will be the new HD and everything will require it as minimum, causing oddball broken GUIs, blurry scaling etc on 1440. AFAIK something like that is already on some consoles and mac. Just like nothing supports 720p today.

[@Twitch_Moderator]

*Buy whatever monitor works for you. But 1080p is typical for competitive players. 1440p on certain titles. 4K is mostly for people who play on TVs or sometimes on small monitors (32" and smaller). I mean small for a 4K display. 4K should be on NOTHING smaller than 40".*

[@nameless.0190]

No lower than 40 inches is an absurd take lol You clearly never used a retina display before. Even 4k at 27 inches is good.

[@srn7254]

discussing over resolution vs display size is pointless because it strictly comes down to your preferred monitor distance, table depth, and eyesight. for some people there's practically zero reason to go above 27" 1440p because there's only so many pixels they can see at a given arcminute, while others might end up noticing pixelation even w/ 4K at that same display size.
