Imo 1440p offers the optimal mix of performance and simplicity. My setup uses a 3080ti, yet I still aim for smoother gameplay above 60fps, so 1440p at 144hz works well for me. My display supports up to 240hz, but I stick at 144hz to preserve the best colors. About 90% of games would struggle to run that fast, and since I'm not a CS:GO gamer, it fits my needs perfectly.
Unless I secure a better offer, I'll stick with my HP 24m and the old 19" Element TV. Playing at 1080p 60fps suits me well because I don’t compete and just want to relax. My secondary works at 720p, after all—do I really need higher resolution for reading Discord or browsing?
All except sim-racers runs at 1080p on a GTX 1070 with a 24" IPS screen. I’d love to upgrade to 1440p, but GPU costs remain high, so I’ll have to wait until RDNA 3 arrives before purchasing an RX 6800XT. For sim-racers, I currently use 5760x1080 for a triple display, but once my GPU improves I’ll switch to VR—likely a G2 or Quest 2. At 1440p I’ll likely drop the triple screen and opt for a single LG 27GN800 or 32GN650 based on which looks better at that resolution.
I’m still using a decent 24" 1080p display, but my upcoming 32" 1440p screen is coming soon. Some folks claim the resolution isn’t high enough, but I’m not that young to notice big gaps and it feels just like my old setup. What matters most is having enough space for work, better visibility in games like Hunt, and a more engaging experience in environments. I’ve enjoyed 4K on smaller sizes—24" and 28", 1440p at 25"—all that was great—but I don’t mind unless it starts looking blurry, which neither of my monitors does. That’s why I chose the compact one; it gave me a solid setup, and now it works the same with my larger screen. I even experimented with 800p using FSR on my Steam Deck on an older model, and it performed well.
I came along a bit late to comment, but this feels quite accurate. Early 2010s storytelling. I upgraded an old PC and kept the same 720p setting I used before. Organizing your desktop, folders, and icons in your preferred way still feels natural. But then Twitch started gaining attention, and I tried a new game—everything seemed okay. Then I stumbled upon a Twitch stream for that game and decided to watch it in fullscreen. WHAT THE HELL, why does this video look so much clearer, brighter, and more vivid than when I play it? (The new hardware seems to support 1080p, which I hadn’t used before, for reasons mentioned earlier.) What’s going on? Is there a push to adopt 1080p and change things up? It’s frustrating. Still stuck on 1080, which is better for the environment, but it won’t be until my old LCD fails. Even then, my 9-year-old PC will be replaced soon.
I was working with a 3440x1440 display until roughly two months ago, after which I acquired an Alienware 1440p at 240Hz. That’s 1440p resolution.
I watch in 1080p resolution, but I've been searching for a 1440p screen. It seems like moving might not make it possible right now.
I use 1080p at 60Hz on a 32-inch screen. It was purchased in 2016 during a sale. The colors look good and the higher resolution reduces stress on my GPU. I'm thinking about upgrading to 1440p with a faster refresh rate, but it's not a pressing need right now.
