Thoughts on 1080p 240hz vs 1440p 144hz

[@silogaming6840]

Thanks for helping me decide! I already ordered a 1080p 240hz monitor from Amazon and it’s coming in a few days, but now after watching this vid, I’m definitely returning it and going for a 1440p 144hz monitor instead.

Provided your machine can push a frame for every buffer swap, the two are functionally identical in terms of visual data rate: 530MP per second vs 497MP per second. In terms of gameplay? I won't be upgrading from 3x 144Hz 24" screens any time soon - I'm 56 years old! Seeing more than 60 fps is a miracle I haven't experienced since I had 72Hz Viewsonic CRTs and a Matrox G400 way back in 1998.

I was confused if 27 inch at 1080p was enough ppi. For me it was amazing to look at coming from 4k 55inch. Using Xbox series x.

I use a 27" 1440p 144hz monitor and I'm actually considering going back to a dual 1080p setup. It's not so much the resolution, but I miss the size of the smaller 24" monitor sometimes. With work, I sometimes feel like I become less productive with the more screen real estate that I have.

[@CosmicApe]

@AmpEdition It's more like I find I try to fit too much on a single screen at a time and get distracted. With a smaller 1080p screen, I can have more focus on the task at hand with two windows up with some reference stuff on the side. On a larger monitor with higher resolution, I had so much stuff on screen that I lost focus on my work.

I'm having issues with this very same choice... need it for work as well as gaming - already have an ''old'' 1080p 144hz VA panel (Samsung) wich will become the 2nd monitor in the setup. I mostly play esports-like titles, but do enjoy other things (and own consoles) as well. It's a difficult one tbh!

[@kanekify2322]

How is ur monitor that smooth i have the exact same 240hz monitor u got it doesnt look at smooth at all i also have it set to 240

[@stephenadrian3389]

Dude this is a great video!! Though I'm still in pain deciding between the two, cuz I play both Valorant and Apex.

[@kztang]

I would go for 1440p 144hz! More versatile monitor for other games and daily use

[@stephenadrian3389]

@@kztang I'm leaning towards this choice as well. Thanks dude!

[@MrWebon]

Wow thanks for this video. Perfect timing. I have a 1440p 144hz and I was considering buying a 1080p 240hz as a second monitor... But I think I don't need 240hz for now, I just play esports titles casually. Even though I got a 1080p 240hz for $250 (crazy good deal in my country), I would be better spending that money in other parts for my build.

[@kztang]

Glad to hear this video helped in your decision! With all these new GPUs being able to handle the higher resolution, 1440p is the way to go

[@MrWebon]

@@kztangYup, I think it's a good balance. Keep on with the videos, I really liked the peanut butter analogy haha

​@@kztang its worth it to sell my monitor ( LG 27GL850-B 2K IPS 144hz 27" ) to Get Alienware ( AW2521HF 1080p IPS 240hz 25" ) for mainly FPS games --- Rx5700xt + ryzen 5 2600 ?

[@kztang]

@@abdulmalekabdullah3569 If you're mainly playing Valorant/CSGO then yes, but if you like to play other FPS games as well such as Apex/Warzone then I personally would not switch

[@hong_1712]

currently I have 1080p with 144hz. still confused get a 1080p 240hz or 1440p 170hz. but after watching your video, I think im gonna get 1440p with 170hz I think I'm a competitive gamer, but sometimes its kinda blurry and hard to spot enemy at game like PUBG at far distance.

[@djblackwing737]

My skills cant even distinguish 360 hrz on my laptop hahaha... dude need your opinion 24 inch 1080p 240 hrz vs 1440p 27 inch 160 hrz? I play rpg more than fps games and my laptop screan is too small. Have not tried 1080p at 24 inch, Hopefully its not too grainy.

[@kztang]

Go with 1440p 27" 160hz! It will be better suited for your RPG games

[@HasimFN]

240hz 1440p os what i have. No compromises

[@cTothy]

Great video man

[@123youknowme]

music is taking away from your review.

[@mattenpedak4634]

I really want to buy new monitor, but I don’t know what to buy.. Right now I have I7 10700F, RTX 3060 TI, 16GB ram and MSI 165hz 1080p monitor

[@kztang]

I would definitely go for a 27" 1440p 144hz/240hz (if your budget allows) monitor. Your 3060 Ti will definitely be able to handle the higher resolution!

[@f.f.c.b.1803]

@@kztang well yeah it would but what about future games?

[@ufanisoneetze]

For siege players is it 1080p 360hz or 1440p 240?

[@kztang]

I don't personally play R6, but I would assume 1440p 240 to be better since it would be hard to hit 360 fps in that game
