Because I've been on 1200p since 2009, and it's more than enough. I could do with waaay less if needed.

Not to mention those >2K resolutions are an absolute meme, that only help to drain your wallet because of much higher system requirements, further aided by the soaring component prices and Unreal 5 sludge ruining the industry.

I'd rather play at 720p and 120fps than jumpy 30-60fps at ""1440p"" (upscaled from 360p).

Human eye can't see past 1080p

I have two 1440p monitors and I also run my PC to my 4K TV when I play horror games.
I still have my old 1080p monitors, I should sell them.

>>730813975
>1440p
Are you retarded or just poor? Everybody's moved to 4K.
Not your shitty meme resolution.

>>730813975
I moved back to 640x480, life is better. Big screens are for work.

>>730813975
960p is the King's resolution.

I don't want all of my 1080p content to have to be scaled by a non-integer ratio and I don't care. Yes I do appreciate 1440p is an integer for 480 and 720 and I wish I could justify that but at this point most 480 stuff is going on a CRT anyways.

I just did recently, I noticed some newer games I wanted to play looked like total fucking shit at 1080 so I bought a 1440 monitor. It was worth it. Basically everything I'm playing looks miles better and there's barely a drop in performance. Maybe it would have been worth it to pay double what I did for a 4k monitor or something but I can't say I'm not satisfied with my monitor as it is.

>>730813975
Because I don't need more. Sure more would be better, but my old 1080p monitors work fine. Maybe I'll upgrade when these finally die but until then I see no real reason to.

It just works

>If on a smaller-sized 4k display, 1080p integer scales perfectly. 1440p does not.
>1440p lacks the clarity of 4k, but also lacks the performance of 1080p; it's the worst of both worlds. Better to go all in on one or the other than half-ass both.

I'm still using a TV from 2012 thats 1080p. Sony bravia 65 inch htx65 or some shit. It was a flagship extremely high end 120hz panel. It is extremely good. I have bought 3 4k tvs and returned them all as my tv is better still, 12 years later.

1440p and 4k are rubbish and gimmicks. The panel qualities are so bad now that it's insane. Yes my picture is worse. But my motion, input lag, blacks, etc. are still so much better than anything outside of an OLED C2-C5 basically.

>>730813975
Because 1440p is a shitty meme gaming resolution. Most TVs and monitors these days are 4k and 4k is objectively better. Also most content is made in 1080p or 4k.

>>730818443
I can tolerate it but I certainly wouldn't go back to it.
>>730818476
I didn't pay enough to need to do that

>>730818435
Yes, but they look like even bigger trash at 1080p than they do at higher res. There's a reason why everyone who complains about TAA being dogshit still has a 1080p monitor, and people with 4k monitors barely notice it.

I moved to 2160p finally, and it's better for older games and better font clarity. Even top shelf hardware can't keep up with new crap. Unlike decades ago this is because software keeps getting worse, not hardware advancing too quickly to keep up. If anything hardware has been crawling for about a decade. 1440p was always a cope resolution, 1080p is still the sweet spot.
It's wild to me that it's gotten so bad, features like DLSS/FSR are somehow "premium". And that's on top of every game having dynamic resolution and TAA.

I started playing at 256x240. I remember being so proud the first time I set Fallout 3 at 1366x768 on my wide monitor.

When 1080p was well established but they started to push for 4k around 2012 I decided it was marketing bullshit and PC gaming was nowhere near this level so I gave it a pass. Then they started to push for 2k around 2013 and it felt like a cope so I flipped them a finger again. Coming from the NES 1080p is enough for me. I play spacesims tho so I game on an ultrawide 1080p not real 1080p. Still cheaper than 2k and giving me a nice comfy spot "future is great" experience.

How is it nonsense? It's well known that TAA works worse the less total pixels it has to work with. Whichever tech tuber or outlet or website you prefer will tell you this.

It's one of those things that you don't need to swap out or change. I don't know why the magical monitor cabal always appears to question why people stick with 1080p.

poorfags can't pay for internet, dummy

resolution governs how far from the screen you need to sit to not see the cracks
you want to aim at 65 ppd
for a 24 inch 1080p screen that's achieved at a viewing distance of 1m
27 inch 1440p? 84cm
32 inch 4k? 62cm
additionally the screen's angular size also increases with higher resolutions
that 1080p screen has a size of 29 degrees
1440p is 40 degrees
4k is 59 degrees

>>730821193
Looking at one now 160hz and 4k for 270€, but I can't see above 30 Hz so it doesn't matter to me. Not sure I can see above 1080p either. I bought HDR monitor once and all it did was cause me fucking headaches

The cost, resources, and performance aren’t worth what you get. Especially now when companies can’t optimize. I went from 4k 60 back to 1080p 180 and I’m the same amount of happy. You can literally save thousands not chasing the dragon

why would I need a higher resolution than that? Even at 4k with DLSS and frame gen its going to look like Vaseline was smeared everywhere. Id rather render at native 1080 and have a consistent performance thanks. 1440 and 4k are meme resolutions.

>>730822771
I've been playing BL3 while testing it's integrated frame limits for several hours each. Tested 24fps (movies), 30fps, 60fps and 144fps.
The difference between each is quite damn noticeable. 24fps is pure crap. 30fps is quite damn bad, I can't believe that console players are playing with this crap. The jump from 30 to 60 is like the movements have been unlocked and it's feels all like butter. Fucking awesome. Jumping from 60 to 144 feels like it all has been greased with the finest oil on how smooth it all is.
BL3's integrated motion blur helps a lot and it's actually quite damn good. Still have some issues tho

>>730822939

4K with vaseline DLSS will still look miles better than your 1080p, even downsampled 1080p, ever will.

Basically every content that matters is 1080p
You are cucking yourself by going higher

A monitor at 1080p is future proof while with 4k you need to constantly upgrade your PC with components that are way more expensive each year, just to play games that are poorly optimized.
I mean, a game that could be played at 4k 60fps during previous year and a game with similar graphics with barely any improvement can't reach 50fps at 4k with the same hardware

Lot's of third world cope in this thread lol. They probably just upgraded from 720p and had their minds blown.

It's good enough for me right now, and I'm fully aware that if I upgrade to higher resolutions they will only look good at first. After that initial honeymoon phase they will just look standard, but I won't be able to go back to 1080p because it'll look like shit to me. So I'll have to pay more for better components because the cheaper "good enough" is no longer good enough for me.

I went through that process with headphones and don't intend to repeat that mistake.

I'm using a 1080p monitor because it's fine
I bought it because my last monitor broke
the monitor I had before that was a 1024x768 crt monitor
when this breaks I'll buy whatever is the average consumer standard and use that until it breaks
as long as your monitor isn't tiny and shitty, caring about how expensive and high-end it is is quintessentially effeminate behavior.

>>730813975
Hardware requirements never let native resolution do the leap they've been promising since like 2013 on consoles even.
I don't see the point of upgrading my screen only to have to use upscaling to actually reach that resolution. I'd rather stay at 1080p and for the games I can run at higher resolutions I'll benefit from downsampling through DLDSR.
>Upgrade monitor's resolution
>Reduce game's resolution so I can use monitor
Sounds retarded. If I could afford a 5090 then sure I'd upgrade my screen too.
Though I'm now interested in the new LCD screens with Nvidia Pulsar or whatever it's called, so that will probably be 1440p I'm imagining.

Oh Shit I mean oh Brother!

It's better 4K than real 4K

>>730825836
Since 2022 for me, bought an LG C1, oled + strobing is the best possible upgrade, and even saves you performance because 60fps looks like 130, for free, without faking frames.
For a while I used a 1060 with it, and it didn't matter, there was still thousands of games I could play at 4K60, and many indies ran 4K120.
It's insane to me how people are choosing their display's max res based on a handful of garbage unoptimized AAA slop's performance instead of, you know, the resolution and panel quality they want to see most of the time.

>>730830509
I would guess 1080p with DLAA should looks fine.
But at that point you spend as much GPU resources as 1440p DLSS Quality and you can't beat having more real pixels, it's obviously gonna look better.

>>730831004
1620p DLSS Quality DLDSR to 1080p is significantly better looking than 1080p native on a 1080p screen. Probably not as good as 1440p on a 1440p screen, but really good.

>>730813975
1080p has been outdated since TAA became normal back in 2016/2017ish, and even worse when we got good upscaling techniques.

Absolutely no point using 1080p anymore when something like 1440p + DLSS Q looks miles better than native 1080p while performing about the same. Plus it's not even expensive, wtf are you doing if you can't even spend $200 on a cheap 1440p high refresh monitor.

I don't know what that even is? Is it 4k? Anyway, I can't afford a new tv. I've been using the same small desk tv for over a decade. I also don't agree with 4k graphicry ethically. It's objectively bad for the art form to make that standard. In fact we should have never gotten a stronger console than the Switch 1. Now companies feel free to waste ALL their time and money on graphics and just make movies instead of vidya. The Switch could already do anything you could ever need a game to do and look beautiful at the same time. Tears of the Kingdom proved that.

>>730831337
Downsampling counters TAA blur. If you have the hardware to run at higher than 1080p you didn't have to worry about TAA at 1080p either. It's less about monitor prices and more TV sizes, prices and tech. I play mainly on a TV, so my 1080p Plasma offers me better image than any LCD TV set so far. OLED almost made me upgrade, but still ended up sticking with the Plasma. Now Pulsar offers a game changer that is large enough that I'm considering switching from mainly TV gaming to mainly monitor gaming.

From what I've seen Pulsar only works on LCD screens so you'll be missing out on OLED contrast and HDR which has been the biggest image upgrade to me in the past 15 years.
