its 2026 surely most of you have switched to 4k by now? if not why havent you?
I like 1440p more.
None of my 1440p monitors have died yet.
Because the games I play are 1024x768 max, so I dont need more.
>>109515866I need 100% scaling so I'm sticking with 1440p
My eyes ain't as good as they were, but not bad enough to admit they're failing
Everything is too small on 4k. What's the point when you have to scale everything up to make it useable again? 4k is just useless and not worth it imo
>>109515866I can't decide whether to go for for an SDR display, one with local dimming, or a home office monitor as opposed to a high refresh rate monitor. Oh and the emergence of 5K displays makes me have a grass is greener effect.
>>109515866I been using 4k for like 10 years now
>>109515866I switched to 4k all the way back in 2015. It's been over a decade since.
>>109515866>Have to upscale everything >Exit upscaled app or game>Everything is a mess nowLol, no
>>109516161wtf are you hallucinating about?
>>109515866I got a 4k tv for free. I set it up in my room where the PC is and now with Valve's Big Picture Mode I'm using my PC as a console for a few days now. Not sure if the reason is because it is TV or what but picture definetly seems clearer, even on old games. Still, with my 9070xt most modern games need FSR to have stable 60fps.
because they need an insanely powerful gpu to properly utilize
>>109515866use case other than inflating hardware requirements?
>>109515866i have a 2160p monitor just because i wanted a 32 inch monitor but didn't want ultrawide because gaming compatability made ultrawide a chore, and they basically only come in this resolution at this sizei still output at 1440p because the only games that run acceptably on modern hardware at 2160p don't have the fidelity to take advantage of it the biggest advantage to borderline unusably high resolution is that you dont need to worry about shit looking like hot garbage when you use a lower res like you used to with 720 and 1080
>finally switch to 4K>it's 27" so I need 150% scaling
Just recently upgraded to 6k after ~7 years of 4k. It's mind boggling that people still think 1440p or even 1080p is good enough when you can literally see the subpixels at normal viewing distance on a 27in screen.>>109516238I have a 9070xt also and the only games I've tested that can't do native 6k60 are UE5 crap, and even those run fine at 4k max settings. What absolute garbage are you playing that even 4k needs upscaling?
>>109515866yeah been using for 4k for half a decade. i think 1440p is still defensible but 1080 is weird atp
4k, 27", 1.0 scalethe more code I can get on the screen, the better
>>109515866Only for gaming and side monitors I’m a 5K main and have been for years
>>109515866you're not going to sell 4K tvs until you lower the price of components mr smasnug
>>109515866waiting for either QD-OLED + RGB stripe + 32" or the fabled QDELI had doubts about my 9070 XT doing too well in 4k but had an epiphany and realized I don't need to play video gamesI also got a 18" 1600p monitor for use in portrait mode recently and realized the PPI from my main 1440p 27" monitor is abysmalapparently, you can also do integer scaling shenanigans to essentially play games in 1080p on a 4k screen, which could be a way to cope with insufficient GPU horsepower
>>109515866Still have 1440p monitor, what's the point of upgrading exactly? It looks nice already.
>>109515866I don't see the need to move past 1080p
>>109515866Ultra wide, curved, OLED is king right now. 4k requires better GPU(LOL at upgrading in this market) and scaling is still shit no matter what OS you choose. You will inevitably have one app that won't scale right so you can't read the tiny text in the tiny UI.
>>109515866Why buy 4k if you have to use scaling with it? Doesn't it defeat the whole point? 1440p is the highest actually practical resolution.
>>109515866I use a 1920x1080 24" monitor. Bought a 27" OLED monitor and it's alright for watching movies but I moved it to be my secondary monitor after a couple weeks. Did the same with another 1440p monitor I had. I just like the smaller size of 1080p monitor. I will say though Asus is supposedly making a 24" OLED thats 500hz or whatever and I will probably try that to see if it would be good enough to replace my current BenQ 360hz monitor.
>>1095158661440p is easier to drive, more FPS in games, no need to upscale UI.
>>109515866>surely>if notmake up your mind you fucking retard.
>>1095158661440p ultrawide is betterthe only competition for that is 5k2k but current gpus are too slow for 1.33x 4k
>>109515866I had a 40" 4K monitor (one of those Korean B rated ones - which still works btw) back when /g/ was still coping about not using SSDs (which I also had).
Because 1080p is sufficient.If my monitor dies I'll consider higher resolutions. But my monitor works and I don't need anything new
>>109517747i bought some gigabyte 240hz 1440p monitor on newegg for like 300 dollars in 2024 and it was nice but I went back to my 1080p monitor after a bit I just like 1080 more. Also that monitor died after like a year and I just used it as a secondary monitor 95% of the time so idk if it was just a lemon or what but it turned me off gigabyte monitors
>>109515866What is the point of 4k. Modern games barely have 480p worth of detail due to the layers of Vaseline smear filters. And streaming video has such terrible bit rate that 4k is similarly pointless.
>>109515866Yeah, but I kind of want a 1440p/720p oled monitor but that shit is taxed to high hell.
>>109515866I have a 4k screen but a 3060 so I play games at 1080p
>>109518592I'd probably end up doing the same, would only get a 4k miniled with +1000 dimming zones or an oled for movies and end up turning on integer scaling down to 1080p for gaming or using the other 1440p monitor if I've got enough juice for it.
>>109515866Because there's no way I can upgrade to 4K without compromising on something>Current monitor is 24" 1080p 144hz>If I buy 144+ hz, it's gonna be 27"+, which I don't want>If I buy 24", it's gonna be 60hz, which I don't wantWake me up when there's a 24" (or even better, 21") 4K OLED that does 144+ hz
>>109515866Isn't the monitor you have there not a 4k monitor? Yes I have a 4k oled.
>>109515866i can't run games at 4k
>>109515866waiting for QDEL
>>109515866300hz/300fps is superior to pixel count>>109515879>>1095158801440p is for the mentally retarded
>>109515866>triple 1440p 165hz>~$600My desktop can handle it fine, docked laptops are iffy and can't really push more than 144hz. I run 120 on two and 60 on the third to keep it stable.Until laptops can comfortably handle triple 4k there's no need to upgrade.
>>1095158664k is a meme. You are being upsold on pixels that you can't even see just to take it home and waste precious compute power. I upgraded to 1080p at 120hz just a few months ago and there's no reason anyone should need anything more.>inb4 hardwarelets give their inputI have a 5070 TI and it's going to last for more than ten years. You can't say the same.
>>109515866I got 2160p for gayming, 1440p for the rest.Websites are just too shit along with most software for 2160p sadly.
1080p is finei had a 4k monitor, realized it looks the same but is harder to run everything on, now i have a 1080p monitor and thats way easier to run everything on
>>109521492based high fps 1080p chadmy 4080 will be sucking my dick for ten years too
My tft 1920x1080 iiyama monitor from 2010 does the job.
>>109519411Why do you prefer smaller sized monitors?
>>109515866My 1080p 240Hz TN just works
There's little benefit to 4K on a desktop monitor
>>109521882Better pixel density + I appreciate the extra desk space
>>109515866i know someone with an RTX 5080 who plays on 1080p.
>>1095158664k is great if you're doing a lot of reading, coding etc. Up the scaling a bit and it's noticeably clearer than 1440p and 1080p looks like a blurry mess. For gaming even 1440p is overkill imo; once you're at 1080p a higher refresh rate makes for a better gaming experience given how much movement there is on screen. Just my 2c's for any niggers on here thinking about buying a screen (and yes, I said nigger so you faggots know I'm not some niggerlicous LLM bot faggot). Peace.
