I bought an HP Omen 27" 2560x1440 with native Gsync about 2 years ago. It was emotional buy. My 10 year old Lab passed away the day before and I needed something to try to take my thoughts away from it. Was cruising Wal-Mart and they had them on the shelf for $800.00. Checked their Web site and they were on sale for $600 (online only) so I bought it online for store pick-up. Left for a few hours, then returned and picked it up at the service desk. I've been fairly happy with it, very fast, no lag or stutter, but the colors are a bit washed and it has black banding at times. If I still played with Photoshop as a hobbby, I would have returned it. So my Black American Lab puppy just turned 7 months old and now I'm looking for a 32" or 34" with GSync. Fair winds and following seas to all.

I’m the same way. I’ll be keeping my 1080p 240hz monitor until there are substantial improvements to 4K/Overall GPU Power. For my SP games I just use 4K DSR and enjoy them that way, but I keep my frames high in my comp shooters. No need for a 1440p panel IMO. Even then, most modern games have built in res scalers that work wonders.

[@kizzenger]

Xavier I have 27” 1440p 144hz VA monitor that I’m returning to go down to 1080p 24” 144hz. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy gaming on 2k monitor, but I tend to lower it down to 1080 when playing FPS games for maximum FPS. Everything looks a little fuzzy when I play 1080 on my 27” monitor. I rather have 1080p crispy looking game on 24” with maximum amount of FPS I can pull. That’s just my preference though. If you have high end graphics like 2080 Ti and can pull 144hz consistently on a 27” set on 1440p, then you’re golden

[@spiltcoff33]

kizzenger totally understand where you’re coming from, my monitor looks terrible in 1080p so anything lower than 2K is a no go for me but my 2080 OC keeps me 120fps+ in most scenarios.

[@MMOStein]

My only fatal issue with 1080p is blurry text in windows. Other than that, there's no reason to go higher than 1080p unless you do technical/creative work that requires it, especially on 25 inches or lower. Though I do admit 27 inches is pushing it for PC gaming, maybe thats okay for console/couch, but for a computer monitor I'd begin to look at higher resolutions options just for ppi reasons, or scaling back down to 22-25 inch screens. Nonetheless, as long as you 1) have decent calibration on your monitor 2) don't buy a cheap ass monitor 3) don't sit literally one foot from the screen like an idiot, you won't notice any pixilation in games/images. The most noticeable negative by far is small text is a little blurry.

I changed both my 1440p 27" monitors to predator 24" 1080p monitors a year ago. I thought, maybe it would stop me from needing top tier hardware and save me some desk space. But, after about 6-7 months, i went to purchase a 1440p 27" and a 1440p ultrawide 34"... 1080p was just much too blurry. And sitting up close, you can just feel the difference in the softness. Can't go back to 1080p after 1440p.

[@Stagmuffins]

Right? The comparison shot he had of RDR2 looks so much better on the 1440p side. The 1080p side of the comparison looks like a blurry console shot. I also have a 27" 1440p 144hz and a 1440p ultrawide. I wouldn't even consider going back to 1080p unless I was legit pro-level CS:GO player.

You can tweak some of the ultra settings to high and there would be no difference, only after 2-3min of comparing screenshots.

[@ivey77426]

I've used 27" 1080p panel for 5 years. Curve is NOT required at this size and does not give you advantage in games AT ALL. Pixel size in such monitor is not great for productivity AT ALL, but in games it's kinda okay (not great either). Having this experience, i strongly disagree with almost everything that was said in this video. (another sponsor-friendly push from Canucks?) TL;DR - if you have 27" 1080p monitor then great, use it, it's not obsolete. If you are looking into buying one in 2020 - Don't.

[@FPSTUGA]

Completely agree. This is borderline pixel size for this resolution/panel size ratio for me. I bought it quite some time ago but sometimes I wish I stuck with the regular 23" panel for that higher ppi

For open world games or ones that I like to admire the video quality, I use the Ultra wide. The only thing that i regret was buying a 60hz screen laptop with an excellent gpu.

Recently I went from a 25" 1080p to a 27" 1440p monitor (the bottom left LG at 2:26) Both 144hz. My frames (specifically warzone) dropped. Before they were capped at 144 and were steady. Uncapped it was 200-sometimes 300 fps. Now they are about 80 to 100 and medium settings with 1440p. Wondering if it would be better to get a 27" 1080p at 240hz (the bottom right at 2:26) and get great frames? I run a i7-9700k and GTX 2070 super and I thought I would get at least 120 frames but no. We also do some tournaments so I think I'd rather have higher frames.

[@ActionBrother]

"The smoothest experience isn't fully possible on a 4K display..." It is probably possible on a 4K display , just not at a 4K resolution ;) I was thinking that you were going to throw a 4K screen in the comparison, but sadly you didn't, I would have loved to see the difference. I especially wonder if 1080p gaming on 4K display is different than native 1080p because the scaling should be perfect (exactly 2x). Maybe you can try the LG 27GN950 as soon as it releases (the release is 1 August)? It is 4K 144Hz and 160Hz OC, 1ms GtG and it is Gsync-compatible and has Freesync Premium Pro. Maybe RTX 3000 and Big Navi are going to change things up a bit... probably worth testing 1080p on a 4k display vs native 4K right now and in the future with the upcoming GPU's.

There is no question if you have a mid range current generation GPU or high end last gen gpu with a decent cpu whether you can run 144fps on 1080p preriod.

[@shottytheshotgun]

I think 200-300hz 1080p is the sweetspot rightnow. You can run most games at enough frames to make the hz selection worth it, and your future proofed as new hardware will let you max out the fps on more games, and 300hz is about the soft limit of human vision. Basically by the time the hardware allows you to reliably max out the fps, you could probably just upgrade to a higher resolution at the same hz.

[@jaymz8222]

1440p 27" monitor is fine for single player games and casuals. 1080p at 24"-25" monitors is still the way to go for competitive gamers. Unless there's a 1440p at 25", I don't see comp players changing away from what they currently have.

I play competitive shooters like rainbow six siege, battlefield and valorant and 27 inches is just too much of a screen space to follow and flickshot. So I use 24.5 inch 1080p @240hz in order to flickshot better. This is also the reason why most pros don't go over 24.5 inch.
