does 1440p look good on 27" I want to upgrade from my crappy 1080p 27" is the difference really that big?

i wish 720p monitors were still a thing so i didn't have to waste compute.
they never existed, what you talking about. you had 1366x768 laptops and tvs at best
Also, Windows 8-11, dunno about 7, b***hes when you use a screen shorter than 768 lines.
Nothing stopping you from running at lower than native res.
1440p is dead, mate. Anything less than 4K is blurry trash nowadays, specially on macOS.
are you baiting or serious cannot tell?
i have a 1440p monitor at home and 4K ones at the office, the difference is night and day. you just have to try it yourself.
alright so i'll stick with my 5:4 lcd then for a little longer, thanks for confirming
This is bait. macOS actually scales better on the 1440P and will look more like the size on your laptop, though with half the resolution. 2880 will get you the best of both, but who the hell has them or wants to pay for them.
If you don't mind the shift in size to the 1080, though, the 4K will give you the same look with a higher res, unless you do a bunch of tinkering to affect the scaling.
4k is brilliant, but you really want a larger display to take advantage of it. 32" is perfect.
Yes. 1080p on 27' is awful. Also go to a store and just look at some with text side by side.
1440p on 27" is great
1440p on 32" is too big
1080p on 27" is probably too big
We have both 27" 1440p and 27" 4K screens at the office.
4K is so much nicer.
Can't even imagine using 1080p in 2022.
4K@60hz if you never play games and don't care about high refresh rate.
1440p@144hz if you play games
4k144hz sucks because few games are actually optimized well enough that they can render at that resolution at full refresh rate.
well, are you able to run it backwards in 1080p when you need it?
24" 1080p 240hz is perfection.
1440p is built for the 27"
1440 / 144hz is absolutely worth it if your hardware can pull the weight.

What are your specs? RTX3060?
I went from 24" 1080p to 27" 1440p and I never want to go back.
I have two 1440p 27" monitors. They're in a nice sweet spot. Some will prefer 4K but I would save that for if I ever get a 32"+ monitor.
I saw someone's 1080p 27-inch display during a LAN party and it looked like absolute dogshit compared to my 1440p 27-inch displays.
1440p at 27” is too pixelated, if you want a 1440p monitor buy one that’s 24” or less
I don't really have much corner space so 24'' 1080p is all I need. I thought it'd be too much but it turns out at the distance I'm sitting normally fonts look nice and smooth.
What's the price point of 4k 27' and what kind of GPU do you need for at least 60fps and that kind of resolution
I have a GTX 1080 Ti and a 4k 27’ monitor and everything runs at 60fps at max settings or a mix of high and very high on demanding games. Pretty much all graphics cards currently being sold are more powerful than mine so you don’t need to worry about that. Most 4k monitors seem to be around 400$
>I have a GTX 1080 Ti and a 4k 27’ monitor and everything runs at 60fps at max settings or a mix of high and very high on demanding games.
Your 1080 Ti gets 60 FPS at 4K in Cyberpunk 2077 with max or high settings?
2080 TI doesn't even hit 60fps in 4k Ass Creed Valhalla.
A 3090 barely hits 70fps in CyberJank 2077.
You're talking out your ass
That’s on max settings moron, just spend 5 minutes optimizing and it’ll run fine. Maybe not CyberSmeg 2077, but that barely runs on anything.
>Optimizing
>Max settings
>it runs on max settings or Ultra just fine
>Dooooood just optimize and lower the settings
L. M. A. O.
Zamn.. It is really that bad? 4k monitors seems comfy for media, for gaming I rather buy a 1440p if I can barely reach 60 on super expensive gpus
Use DLSS if available or drop the resolution.
>what kind of GPU do you need for at least 60fps and that kind of resolution
RTX 3090 Ti might do it.
1080p 27” - blurry shit
1440p 27” - decent
2160p 27” - perfection
Simple as
>2160p 27”
Too small
24' 1080p looks like utter garbage compared to 27' 1440p. 27' 1440p is very sharp and you can get away with no MSAA or 2x. 24' 1080p is always a blurry mess and not even 8x MSAA 16x AS can compete with 27' 1440p no msaano AS. no idea who had the moronic idea to standardize 24' 1080p, but frick that guy. I'm glad I made the switch already 5 years ago. 1080p is such a garbage res, I can't get over it. just a blurry mess, but not blurry enough to get the benefit of smoothed out textures/visualslike 900p 8x MSAA
I upgraded from 1080 27" to 1440p 27" this year, the upgrade is very noticable
1440p 27" is like 1080p 24"
If you're upgrading you might as well go for 4k 27" unless you NEED high refresh rates on a budget
1440p is the ideal resolution. Just be careful not every monitor does a great job scaling for example if I run 1080p on my Asus Tuf monitor it looks way worse than 1080p on my shitty 1080p monitor. So if you're planning on playing games at 1080p just make sure the monitor scales well
For 1080p, use 24". For 1440p, use 32". For 4K use 43". Anyone who says otherwise is a scaling homosexual or is sitting too close to their monitor.
redpill me on the frequency for monitors. what is reality of these higher refresh rates? 144hz I can understand, but is any higher a meme?
144hz is really really good but going to 240hz it is hard to go back, I think 240hz will be the standard in like a few years.
75hz is barely a standard today. I very much doubt that.
Depends on what you want
HDR
COLOR ACCURACY
RESPONSE TIME
REFRESH RATE
RESOLUTION
You can only pick 1 if you want to spend a reasonable amount
Forgot size
>tfw my monitor ticks all those boxes
But it did cost a unreasonable amount.
240HZ+
0.5 ms
True black
?
1ms.. But that is the only downside if any. 240hz and true black yes. (looks like the monitor is turned off when there are black parts)
which monitor
Odyssey G9 Neo. Best monitor I have tried although not all games supports ultrawide and you need the space for it, as well as keeping the box it was shipped in.
that's a lot of excel columns...
Kek
It sounds like a meme til you try it yourself.
I did try it, then I brought that shit back within the week.
>curved screen
27in is the best size for 1440p. The difference is barely noticeable on 24in display. Get 1440p IPS monitor with 144Hz IF you have hardware that can power it
The difference isn't massive but yes there will be a decent difference
1440p isn't perfect though, even on 27". 4K will obviously be much nicer but it's very demanding for gaming.
I wish I could have 4K on desktop and 1440p ingame, without blurry DLSS bs.
Bros, I'm using a laptop with 14'' WQHD 1440p 120Hz screen and my eyes are getting tired way faster than on my old Thinkpad x220 with 1366x768 screen. Any tips what can I do about it? Should I tinker with scaling? I've set it to 150% as anything below was way small and higher values seemed too big. Maybe I should try 160/165 or other settings? I guess reading the text tires me out the most
playing on 1440p@144hz for the last 7 years. how come people are still using 1080p, 60hz or god forbid both? lol
People have different needs, moron.
60hz is ancient, I got my first 1080p 120hz in 2011 and it wasn't even expensive. Back then you still had morons saying there was no difference between 30 and 60, most likely because they were stuck on a 360.
Why pc monitors are such afterthought compared to tvs? Exception is Dell releasing qd-oled monitor this year alongside tvs but usually we would have to wait another decade to get at least one OLED monitor. But even all things considered it’s still lacking due to moronic curvature, resolution and washed out blacks in ambient light. We just can’t win and have to deal with one compromise over other. Want colour accuracy? Forget about motion handling and vice versa. There’s just no monitor which does it all and I’ve been waiting for at least 10 years. Give us glossy 32” 4K oled 120/240hz already.
because they just recently 'solved' burn in with qd oled, making it finally suitable for monitors
Dell even have 3 year warranty that covers burn in in the Alienware ultrawide, oleds in the past never covered that.
how does that even work out in practice. 3 years is nothing, most burn in will probably set in after 5-10 years when its out of warranty.
>qd-oled monitor
when can I get the 1080p 24 inch version?
yeah, it's nice
Yes, I recently upgraded to 1440p and it looks astoundingly better and my games run about the same.
Don't go full 4k, it's heavy on your GPU and doesn't look noticeably better than 1440p
27" 1440p is great but I find it's too big for gayming, tried for 2 years to get used to it but it's not great for fps. for anything else it's fine.
I'm grabbing the aoc q24g2 when it releases, first IPS 23.8" 1440p monitor.
Pixel Density is the true spec to look at.
It's incredible how only apple does it right with 218ppi and glossy finish. Add better refresh rate + display port and these would be best pc monitors money can buy.
1440p is superior as it cleanly interger scales with resolutions many old games support, while 1080/4k does not.
1440p has 77% more pixels than 1080p
the difference is huge, even an entry $250-300 level 1440p 144hz VA monitor will blow your mind
I'd wait with 4k until GPUs are better and there's affordable HDR 1000 with hundreds of dimming zones and shit, in a few years
>VA monitor
big ooof
I hate mine. I'm from a small town so there's nowhere I can go and actually look at high end monitors, I just got the one I have based internet reviews. There's no point in having a high refresh rate if the VA black smearing is just going to make everything in motion blurry anyway.
Yeah I tried a few and the smearing on blacks is terrible, I could see it just scrolling through websites in dark mode nevermind games.
No idea how so many people tolerate them.
I'm using 1080p on a 2k monitor and it's blurry. Unfortunately my GPU can only do 1080p on HDMI, and I don't have a DVI cable/connection on the monitor, so until I get a new GPU I'm stuck in here.
If you want the extra screen real-estate and don't mind everything being tiny then go for it
If you're just gonna use DPI scaling don't bother
>is the difference really that big?
It's massive. 1080p on 27" looks awful.
had both 1080p, 1440p and 4k displays. on 27 inch 1440p is nice, you'll still notice the difference from 1080p and will pay less, or get a better display for the same price. but if you have the money, get 4k, it's better than 1440p
