Are you still satisfied with 1080p? If not are you looking to upgrade anytime soon? And if you already upgraded to 1440p+ how would you rate the "improvement" over 1080p from 1 to 10?
>>108866045>Are you still satisfied with 1080p?With how it looks? Sure. It should never have existed in the first place though, same as 720p
>>108866045I bought a 1440p screen because I wanted a screen without pwm dimming. It's fine. 180hz cheap IPS
why the fuck are all indie games weird card games now?
>>108866045I'm using a 1440p monitor because it was barely any more expensive than a 1080p monitor, but the difference is negligible. It's nice for office tasks (I can see more on my screen without panning) but it doesn't matter at all for gaming
>>108866094Everyone likes short term randomized content nowadays, and roguelites + cards can do that pretty well.
>>108866045>Are you still satisfied with 1080p?yes>And if you already upgraded to 1440p+ how would you rate the "improvement" over 1080p from 1 to 10?I have a 1080p setup and a 1440p oneThe best improvement is when developing, more area of work
>>108866094Indies are normally basement gamers who are very lazy. Card games require the least actual development of gameplay. Let's them focus on being Quirky® and Wierd to sell copies.
>>108866045>how would you rate the "improvement" over 1080p from 1 to 10?2 - you care for about a week then forget you even upgraded at all. its almost a nothingburger.
>>1088660455k monitors are now affordable desu.
>>108866093>pwm dimmingwhat does it do what's wrong with it
>>1088660451366x768 is god's resolution
>>108866312your screen turns on and off thousands of times per second. obviously it's bad for your eyes and brain
>>108866094Because market exists there and they want a piece of it. Most will not get much out of it, as usual with indies.
>>108866045I've had a 1080p office monitor for over 12 years now. Looks fine to me, not that I've ever really used anything higher res. It's looking a bit worn down, so I'm looking to finally replace it, and curiously it seems that good 1080p monitors are now rarer than good monitors of higher resolutions.
I never had "1080p". My first flatscreen 20 years ago was 1920x1200. I used a more dense 2560x1440 for a short while, but it didn't have a VESA mount, so I took the opportunity to go back to WUXGA for better scaling and the option for XP-style bitmap fonts.
>>108866428True, normies have bought into the 4k meme and a lot of things got shittier as a result. Though personally I'm more pissy about screen sizes there's almost no good monitors bellow 27" nowadays not to mention they're all matte
>>108866312causes the screen to strobe at low brightness levels. some people are particularly bothered by this, while others literally don't even see it.
When I upgrade I keep my old monitor and recycle the oldest one past monitor #3. I recently upgraded to a 4k oled and have 2 1440p ips monitors, before that I had 2 1080s.In terms of improvement I would rate it like a 6/10. bigger res and crisp text are nice but the biggest gain is just screen real estate for my old man eyes and you can get that on lower resolutions with larger screens. the most common complaint I've seen is scaling but you can just set it to 200% if you want, never quite understood why that's an issue. screens are also relatively cheap, at least compared to other computer hardware these days.it's not a must-have improvement and has some drawbacks. the main one being performance and driving the hardware. you need a certain bandwidth of DP/HDMI especially if you multi monitor, which can be fucky depending on cable, gpu, driver, and wm. if you play any sort of vidya you're driving 2x or 4x the pixels. you can upscale, but you need to do so for every title you launch which is a pain and the temptation to tinker with dlss/framegen and the other slop settings is always there.
1080p looks very fucking bad, especially on a VA monitor.I tried a 1440p monitor and it was indeed better but not worth upgrading for any amount of money. If you don't have a monitor at all go for 1440p. If you're upgrading, only 4k would be worth it
1440p better for reading shit, but I have to use scaling. The monitor has to be too close for 100% to be readable. Also macOS is a fucking nightmare with 1440p.1080p always had me look for better font rendering.
>>108866811you need to train your eye muscles
>>108866860But surely there's a limit there.I'm nearly 80cm away from the screen. I can read fine, but it's not just comfortable. Besides that fonts look like dogshit on 100%.
>>108866045This is the same argument as 1366x768 in the early 2010s and late 2000s, or the 1024x768 in the early 2000s, or the 800x600 in the late 90s to very early 2000s, to the 640x480 in the 90s... I can keep going back. The answer is the same: Yeah... Stuff made nowadays are made for those resolutions, so yeah... Resolution is meaningless without also having info on the media, form-factor and DPI.1080p on a mobile 6"-ish screen is perfectly fine. it isn't on a 32" Monitor that sits near your face. Same goes for 4k: It's fine on a 50" TV that sits a few feet from you, but not if you use it as a monitor, because the DPI sucks. It might also suck on a much smaller screen if you use it for VR, for example.To address the OP about 1080p vs 1440p: It doesn't really matter, really... If you're buying a new monitor, obviously go for 1440p or higher if you can find it on a good price, however the difference, unless we're talking >24" monitors, is negligible at best. I use a 27" monitor at 1080p and the difference is huge there when comparing to a 1440p, but it disappears if you go for 4k, if you can even find a monitor at a good price with that size at 4k. The one thing that is clearly better, as others have mentioned, is the total area of work, since you can't always shrink down interfaces, so having more pixels and "simulating" multiple smaller ones are easier on a larger resolution.
>>108866891what is the screen size
>>10886694027''
My 4k monitor is over 10 years old now.
I'm on 1050p, actually
I bought two 1440 monitors and was waiting for the 5080 super to come out to hook them up.The wait continues
>>108866094Easy to design.
>>108866504YES this was hard for me. I've built a small 'second desk' in my living room that I wanted to be unobtrusive, but finding a small monitor for it was impossible. 23/24 inch was the smallest I could get new, apart from portable monitors (that don't have a solid stand built-in). I eventually bought this very old Apple display that came out in 2004, which is only 20 inches in diameter.
>>108866045>1920x1080 in the current year.one day my 4090 won't be able to play the latest games in 4k and your post reminded me I could just drop it down to 1080p and get another decade out of this card
>>1088660451080 is too many p, its a waste of power.The real question is wether or not 960p is worth the upgrade over 720p.Iv'e been perfectly content with 720 for ages, its HD nigger, its great, however, it doesnt integer scale as well with older games and dvd movies.It does scale perfectly from most true retro games, which are 240p, x3 = 720.But does not scale well from 480p games.Thats where 960 comes in;240 x 4 = 960480 x 2 = 9601080 doesnt scale perfectly from anything, its shit.
>>1088694481440 does scale perfectly from 240, 480, and 720 though, @ x6, x3 and x2, respectively.Therefore it is probably the perfect resolution for almost anything smaller than it, that wasnt made explicitly for 1080.
>>108866045Used a 1440p laptop for a while with 200% scaling, really liked the font rendering but the laptop itself was total shit so I went back to 1080p for now. Will definitely consider it in the future though.
>>108866045Depends on the size of the screen. I use a 40 inch 4K display on the desktop and I wouldn't accept less, but the individual windows are all pretty small (it's great for multitasking). For my laptop, 1080p would be good enough(the laptop is also 4K, but its pointless as I have to scale everything up 2x).Gaming is irrelevant as most games I like are either pixalated or straight up just text.
>>1088660451080p PC monitor and 720p tv master race reporting in
I was never happy with 1080p, but 1920x1200 would still be fine.
>>108866906It didn't matter much what resolution your media was back in 00s and earlier, since CRTs didn't really have a fixed native resolution. So no, it's not "the same argument".
>>108866492>My first flatscreen 20 years ago was 1920x1200Don't see myself ever upgrading, it's literally perfect.
>>108866045I have a 16:10 screen.I'd rather have a 16:10 1200p than 16:9 4K
>>108866045My primary monitor was 1080p but I wanted a larger workspace, and crucially I still wanted a standard DPI of 95. So I bought a 32" 1440p monitor. It's fucking massive but totally worth it since tiled windows are larger, I can view 3 pages side-by-side in my word processor, I can see more of my canvas when drawing without having to zoom out, and I can see more tracks simultaneously in my NLE. It's a huge productivity boost and I will never understand HiDPI fags.
>>108871680people with 27 inch screens just move it 5 inches closer and have the exact same experience
>>108871688>move it 5 inches closerThen you're shrinking your desk space, thus making you less productive. If my monitor were 5 inches closer, I would not have enough room for what I need.
>>108871692Ok
>>108866045i recently got a 1440 32 inch monitor and its great. a lot of games support it, and those that don't/perform badly at that res on my 3070 can just be put into 1080 windowed mode. i have it at 125% zoom to help my old eyes. the extra screen real estate is great, really convenient when i look at the data and have much more room for information. i'd say 1080 is still fine, but 1440 is nice to have. probably won't get a 4k ever. but who knows at this point i said that about 1440 too haha
>>108866045>Are you still satisfied with 1080p?Yea, works fine. My monitors are the lowest priority on the upgrade list for me right now.
>>108871736what's the highest
>>108871741Moving from a DDR3 based board to a DDR5 based one. I'll upgrade my CPU then and bring my 1080ti along until I can find a card I want.
>>108871699What do you mean OK? Your desk is a limited resource and bringing the monitor closer to your face means less room for your peripherals.
>>108866045no, I upgraded recently and I won't go back>1440p>ultrawide (43:18)>34">flatwhy?>most new shows/movies are wider than 16:9>can watch a 16:9 live stream fullscreen *and* have the chat open on the side without letterboxing>lends itself to 2/3 + 1/3 window tiling for multiple use cases
>>108866045No idea. If you work with text all day, the much sharper text is a boon.
>>108872161>muh textIf you want to use a productivity argument, you'd buy a 1440p monitor because the actual screen is larger; not because you want a higher pixel density while maintaining the same effective workspace size. If you want better-looking text, consider ditching Windows for an OS with better font rendering than NES games.
>>108866045Not exactly, I never liked 1920x1080. However, I do use 1920x1200 on my PC and I'm satisfied with that on a 24 inch monitor. It's not realistic for me to fit a larger monitor, so I'll probably continue to use displays with this resolution for a long time.
>>108866045im happy with 1080p, i havent upgraded because there are no 24 inch 4k screens and 1440p cannot scale 1080p content nicely
>>108871769I mean I accept your use case. You are an artist, you require more room.I can fit my big keyboard and a laptop between the screen and the edge of the desk.
people who use higher res than 1080p all use scaling to make it look like 1080p anyway as its the most comfy
>>108872760Only if their DPI is above 95
>>108866094there is a reason people played card games for centuries
>>1088660451200P / 1600P / 16:10 master race.
>>108866045I went from 1080p 60hz IPS to 3440x1440p 144hz VA and it made a huge difference to me, everything is higher quality, better contrast, etc... and i've put my old 1080p monitor (linked to another PC) next to the 1440p one and the 1080p looks blurry in comparison.And the monitor is 34 inches, perfect for gayming especially in war thunder because i can see more of the screen without moving my plane/tank, it's a pretty beefy advantage.And yes, it's VA. It does have a bit of ghosting but i don't mind, i use it for watching my series too so it's nice to have truer blacks without the typical light bleeding of IPS.And it only cost me 399 euros instead of 800 euros for an IPS but now that i've tested a monitor without black bleeding, i'm not sure i'll ever go back to IPS.
>>108866094Because it's less art intensive and despite the fact that all art fags do is complain all day about AIThey neither want to team up with a programmer unless they are getting a comission and most likely are worse then AI slop.Cards can represent something with a single non moving image.
>>108866045Depends on the size of the monitor. 1440p already needs a massive monitor to shine.
>>108866045is this a game? looks pretty
>>108866045>upgrade anytime soon?My collection of 1080p wallpapers say a resounding "no".
The improvement in how much I like 1440p vs. 1080p is maybe 20% at most, and that is dependent on use. 1440p -> 4K is probably 5%. I think we're at the point of diminishing returns in terms of resolution, at least for my eyes and how much I care.
>>108866045No, I want irregular shaped screens. Like a star.
>>108872933Yes, but that reason is not the answer to her question.
>>108872179>i breathe through my mouth
>>108866045>Are you still satisfied with 1080p?Don't really have a choice. Onboard Realtek audio on my current rig is head-phones only and not amplified enough to drive actually speakers, which means I have to use HDMI Audio-out.And to accommodate the average roomtemperature smoothbrain, Nvidia intentionally disables HDMI Audio output on resolutions higher than 1080p to preserve enough HDMI bandwidth to put out a picture without data corruption and/or connection loss for those morons that never bought proper higher-spec HDMI cables but still want to push a 1440p@120 screen or a 4k@60 screen on their shit-old cable that is not even certified for HDMI 1.4 features.
>>108866045I use a 4k 32 inch monitor nowadays.Improvement from 1080p: 10/10, I feel like a retard for not having done it sooner. The arguments you read ITT are the same sort of cope I used to do myself before biting the bullet.
