As of Nov 2023 the top 2 GPUs used by gamers on Steam are RTX 3060 at 5.04% & the GTX 1650 at 4.75%. 61.49% of Steam Users game at 1080p while only 16.24% at 2560 x 1440 & when you go over 1440 the numbers are extremely low in single digits. Keep in mind this is Steams numbers with Gamers & not average PC users.

Yeah this comparison is lacking. I have both 1440p and 4k both currently at 144 even though the 1440 goes to 240. The real difference here is not all games can run at 4k with high refresh rates, and the cost difference is crazy not just for the 4k display, but the increase needed in pc hardware to drive it. You can get 2-4 nice 1440 monitors for the cost of one nice 4k oled. Unless you are buying a cheap 4k , but that is like shooting your horse as the gate opens in the Kentucky derby.

An additional benefit of using smaller sized 4k monitor is that you can run gpu integer scaling to 1080p for games where you'd want higher refresh rate instead of higher resolution. Kind of gives you the best of both worlds.

You are correct sir. I bought a 24 inch 4K Monitor and integer scaling 1080p on it looks amazing.

I bought a 1440p 32" 165hz IPS for £325 on Amazon, and it works perfectly for me. Yes, I'd prefer 4k but for the specs I need, I'd be looking at spending at least £800, not to mention needing to buy a new graphics card.

I have found that playing fps games in 4K helps me to see enemies further in distance because I can see so much more detail. Especially in Hell Let Loose where you are looking sometimes for individual pixels moving in the distance. I sit at a computer desk and my face is about 1.5 feet away from the monitor screen. I use a LG Ultragear 27" 27GN950-B monitor running at 160hz, Nvidia 3090 FE video card. Also, I find playing Battle Bit Remastered in 4K Ultra Native, ultra settings, no DLSS, no Ray Tracing at 160 fps to be extremely satisfying and exceptionally smooth. Playing BF 2042 with the same settings at 80 fps does not feel as smooth but is playable. I won't buy an OLED monitor until they release a 27" flat screen in 4K 240hz with DP2.1. A 32" is too large for my computer desk.

quick question for the 3070Ti. i have one by gigabyte and was looking at upgrading my monitor soon since i’ve been running the same shitty 1080p, 75hz monitor for years now 💀. but my main question was whether you think it would be better staying with 1080p but higher refresh rate or if i should switch to 1440p. i have been streaming and recording a LOT as of recently otherwise i would give in and go with 1440. i’ve just seen videos where the 3070TI sometimes struggles especially with vram usage.

Recently upgraded to a 27” Samsung G7 to kind of future proof my peripherals for the next time I upgrade and I love it. 3070tis are definitely 2k cards even with the low vram.

The only time I use my 4k monitor is to emulate 240p games with 4k crt filters. In all other cases I actually prefer my 27" 240Hz 1080p because performance will always satisfy me more than pixel count and fidelity, I really don't mind seeing the individual pixels. Most websites look better at lower resolutions and don't need to be zoomed in as much as well.

Gaming I wouldn’t mind 1440p but 4K is really nice when it comes to productivity. Just recently purchased the odyssey OLED g9 and although I technically downgraded from a 4K 60hz benq that wasn’t all that color accurate, I’m definitely loving the ultrawide look and it’s super accurate with colors even after using my colorometer.

Hi, I have a query, can I use a 4k tv as monitor, I don't play games or do many graphics related work, I will only use this for content consumption, so please help me decide.

Thanks for this. A question please: Why does my monitor freeze in 4k but not in 1440? Is it the refresh rate at 60 mhz? Is it the Intel core I 3, Am I being throttled by the service provider or by KZread? 27" Innocn mini LCD using DP cable. The image freezes but the sound continues then after a couple of mnutes it unfreezes but it's not long before it freezes again. I've had to give up and just use 1440k. I use a Chromebook. I'm not a gamer and only a media consumer. When it works the 4k image is spectacular.

I changed from a 1440p to a 4k 144hz both. I can see the difference. Not being huge is quite noticeable. True, they are expensive but if u can afford it go for it, is better. Conpetitive games i still play in 1080 because the integer scaling works good going from full hd in a 4k monitor. All other games i play in 4k at more than 60 fps with VRR works like a charm ;). I play in 28 inches btw.

I use a odyssey g9 , 5120x1440p, with pixel density equal to a 27 pol 1440p monitor. Homewer, I use Nvidia DLDSR to upscale to 7680x2160p. And despite the pixel density its already high, I can still see a clear difference bettwen the dual 1440p (5120x1440) and dual 4k (7680x2160), and its not a small difference.

So...I just upgraded my old buddy the 1060 6gb to a RX 6800. Would be the perfect card for 1440p. BUT it can run 4k as well, but is mostly limited to 50-60 fps depending on the game and the settings of course. My question is: for what type of Monitor I should save my money now? A good 1440p one and call it a day, or save some more for a decent 4k one? Cant afford Oled yet. Hmpf...hard stuff. Smooth 2k or lower fps 4k...

Trying to decide if I should go with 1440p 240hz or 4k 160hz monitor in the 27-23" range. Considering: MSI G274QPX, Asus ROG Strix XG27AQMR, or Gigabyte M27U. I primarily play COD, so the 240 refresh rate is very appealing to me. But I do also enjoy playing AAA single player titles (CP2077, Alan Wake2, etc.) So that's the primary argument for 4k. I probably spend 2/3 of my time playing COD and the remaining time playing single player games. Is 4k worth sacrificing the higher refresh rate? I know there are 4k 240hz displays out now, but out of my price range.

Yeah I definitely think 4K looks far sharper even at 27 inches. I will say that some displays have a matte coating that really washes out that sharpness, but you'll definitely see how the aliasing in games looks far better at 4K.

@raptorhacker599 I literally have a 1440p and 4K display right next to each other. I will say it's one of those things you need to experience for a bit to notice what you're losing without it similar to higher refresh rates. Though I will say the 4K display is incredibly obvious in games as depth is handled so much better and aliasing is far lessened. Another issue is inconsistent 4K video quality. Gamers Nexus at 4K for example has the video quality of most things at like 720p while Hardware Unboxes is like mega sharp. Of youtube is a major use case I'd say the impact is lower, and while Nvidia did make that new upscaler, I've noticed it's really only good for animations like anime or old cartoons. But in general, yes, I can tell fairly well just looking at the image. The main issue with 4K is just the hardware to drive it. If you plan on modern gaming with 4K you're gonna need something overkill. Ironically 4K has continued to be a top spec feature for like 10 years now with even the 1080 ti being a decent 4K GPU at the time.

96-106ppi is good for gaming but not for productive workflow and general use. Perfect resolution will be 5k 27" or 6k 32". That's what Apple is doing and we will see more displays with those specs coming soon. Like viewfinity S9 5k.

I'm really waiting for a good 6k 32" and before you say about Dell 6k, I should say that weird design isn't the style I'm looking for.

Would you take 6k@80hz or 4k@120? Keep in mind the limitations of HDMI 2.1/DP 1.4. If you watch videos/movies or play action games, lower frame rates will be doggy doo doo. If you're doing professional tasks and require clarity and colour accuracy , then 6k with a lower frame rate would be fine

I think 4K is great for casual gamers who play mostly triple A titles and can afford a decent gaming PC or console, even if consoles donesnt run at 4k actually. 1440p is becoming the standard for people building rigs recently which is a good thing because 1440p became more acessible and easier to run, its not very cheap but more accessible than a few years ago. Even here in Brazil which hardware is too expensive 1440p is becoming quite cheap, all I have to do is to keep saving for around 10 years to be able to buy one 😂

Yes, I think he is exaggerating the difference. Now I can only go off of what I have and used. And I will say, I was expecting 4k to look better than it is once I got it about a month ago. There is a meaningful difference between a 1440p 27inch monitor I have and the new 4k 32 inch, but I was using a 24 inch 1440p monitor for the longest time before either, and in terms of "clarity" or sharpness, the 32inch 4k isnt far off from the 24 inch 1440p. I even got a 15 inch 1080p oled, which while I can tell some detail is lost, still holds up to both of them. So I do think ppi is much more meaningful, the only thing a higher resolution allows, is well being able to maintain that sharpness with a larger screen. And I think the main difference in why the 32 inch 4k I like more than my old 24inch 1440p, is not because of any "sharpness" but simply that it's a bigger screen while maintaining the sharpness. And I think a lot of the detail comes from the larger screen. So that's my experience.

You should have gone with the OLED instead. You have the benefit of a much higher framerate, which gives you much smoother motion and, in my opinion, does way more for image quality than the resolution jump from 1440 to 4k. The added benefit of infinite contrast ratio (true blacks) and increased pixel response time create a better overall experience.

And along with DLSS/FSR FG technologies they dont need to do any sort optimization ship it and force you to use those technologies to get a somewhat playable experience.

I use DLDSR to supersample almost all my games to 2160p on my current 1440p panel because games just look so grainy, soft and flickery without. Most modern titles are built with 4k textures and AA in mind so any lower resolution looks ass (at least to my eyes).

My actual viewing distance is about *0.75 m (2.5 ft).* Monitor has resolution of 1440p, i.e. "2.7K". With my eyes, 1080p would be totally unusable, but 1440p is quite good. Of course, 4K would be even better. I watch my 55" *TV* from about *2 m (6.6 ft)* or sligthly further than that. That's roughly 3 times the height. TV is relatively old (2K = 1080p). Traditional Blu-rays do have that same resolution. DVD's etc. (576i/480i) would look sharper from further away. Today, the best resolution for homes is 4K for television + 4K for Blu-rays/TV/Streaming.

For gaming, which I don’t do, 1440 is more compelling. Lower GPU load and It is basically a video so the resolution is not as advanced. Plus if you are gaming on a 43” TV, you are likely to be farther away from the display, making the difference less noticeable. However for productivity where you are viewing textbin spreadsheet like I do, 4k is a major advantage. For that I would like to use 4k at 24 inches but that is hard to find.

This means if 16 inch laptop screen 240 hz is better cuz we cant tell the difference if its 2k or 4k correct?

I’ve been playing games at 4k for about a year. I got the Samsung odyssey g9 recently and playing in 1440p I was like “WOH THIS IS SO FUZZY!” I’m starting to adjust to it. It bothered the crap out of me at first. There is a pro of getting more fps but honestly I miss 4k. Still pretty cool playing on that thing

Not sure you can say 1440p is fuzzy haha. Yeah 4k is better but 1440p being fuzzy ? I have both and 4k is sharper but the loss in performance is annoying.

I have a 4k 60hz 43" monitor and I always set the game to 2k and it looks perfect. So I strongly do not suggest 4k at 43" and below. In fact I would much more prefer a 2k 120hz over a 4k 60hz any time of the day. And I have played hundreds of games.

2560x1440 on my 4K 55" was rather horrible, quite a sacrifice. Not so much on a 27" at a distance. But I look forward to getting a 32" 240 hz 4K Asus OLED eventually. 4K on a 13" is not a huge diff from 2K on a 13", lol. But that's an extreme example.

So the conclusion is 4k is great, but because almost no system can consistently deliver 120 fps in 4k you should go for 1440p

"Almost no system" isn't quite true. First if you're not gaming then almost any GPU can do 120 fps at 4k. What you probably have in mind is games like Cyberpunk maxed out. Then yes you are basically looking at an RTX 4090, and you will probably still need some kind of upscaling. But for the vast majority of titles, including the latest Call of Duty and most Unreal 4 games, even my 3090 can push 120+ fps easily.

@@Solus793 Little exercise for you: if BOTH matter, that means PPI has weight on clarity if resolution stays the same. 27"" 1440p vs 24"" 1440p, which is better? 24"" 1440p, right? Better PPI. Now, what happens when you put it on your desk right away? You place it CLOSER to you than you would the 27 incher. Now, I want you to explain to me what happens to the smaller pixels when they're seen by you at a smaller distance.

The term "PPI" "Pixels Per Inch" is actually not what we should be using to determine what resolution is best, what we should be using is "PPD" "Pixels Per Degree". You have to calculate the user's viewing distance vs. screen resolution and size to find "PPD" but that is why PPD is comprehensively the correct metric. When it comes to maximum perceivable PPD for the average person that number is "300 PPD" (look up "Visual Hyperacuity"). 300PPD still isn't an absolute limit but it is where diminishing returns on improved clarity drops off a cliff, but with the way most people use 4K monitors today (viewing distance of two feet from a 32" 4K monitor) you've got a massive 60 degrees field of view and that results in only a pitiful 64 PPD. In absolute terms, 4K monitors are still "low visual clarity". 8K resolution on a 32" monitor at a two foot viewing distance still only gets us 128 PPD, just barely into "medium visual clarity". 16K resolution on a 32" monitor at a two foot viewing distance is finally in the realm of "high visual clarity" at 256 PPD. Do I advocate for the tech industry to standardize on 16K? No. The signal bandwidth of 16K at 120hz would be 512Gbps and is impossible to transmit with copper cables. The only form of data transmitter capable of that is an industrial optical fiber hub for global internet traffic. 16K is just not achievable until we have a dramatic shift in data transmission tech, or with the GPU integrated directly into the display. 8K 120hz is within the capabilities of current hardware and is the ideal middle ground of both sharpness and fluidity.

Are the monitors in the video that are side by side comparing 4k vs 1440p? Maybe it's because i'm on a 3440x1440 monitor that I can't tell the difference?

Far from blurry unless you're playing games made in 2006

No one , I repeat , no one who has actually owned and games on a decent 4k monitor , would tell you that there isn’t a big difference.

I'd say it depends on the type of games you play. I mostly play multiplayer FPS like COD, Battlefield, Gears and the higher fps that can be achieved at 1440p (240Hz) do make these games feel more responsive and easier to track fast targets than 4k 144Hz. You also don't get time in these games to really stop and appreciate the higher resolution. For me until 4k 240Hz becomes a reality for gpu's I will pick 1440p 240Hz as my primary gaming display. However, I can see why others would prefer 4k, I do on other types of games.

just get a 4090/7900xtx and you'll do 240fps in 4k in all multiplayer games (4090/7900xtx is only needed for cod/warzone) only problem is, there is only 1 4k 240hz panel (neo g8) but its actually even faster than the fastest VA panel (G7 240hz), which almost is identical in terms of motion side to side against my LG 27GR95QE OLED 240hz

Listen kid. There's no point in buying a 4k monitor, period. The difference between 720p, 1080p, and 4k is so minor that to the human eye it's hardly noticeable. You're not going to magically increase your gameplay skill by having more pixels on your screen. A gold QHD monitor might be nice but the improvement over a decent 1080p monitor is so small it's irrelevant. So stop wasting your money. You can go buy a nice lunch for yourself with what you save.

@@Joh_290 I also don't own a 4K. I even mentioned a QHD is better than cheap 4K. What most people neglect is color accuracy. I have seen the difference between different resolutions and they are not minor. But it doesn't worth the price I agree with you on that. I think QHD is a good choice. Not that big price difference and a quite nice improvement in quality in a 27" monitor.

Without step closer and in active gaming, can you spot a difference between 4k, 2k and 1080p? If you can, is it relevant? Remember despite the technology your monitor it is going to be about 1 meter of distance of your eyes.

Thank you for elaborating on why PPI doesn't really matter. Visual quality depends on pixels-per-field of view (which would be an angular measurement but lets just set "field of view" equal to an assumed "1", and then subsequently ignore that detail for math's sake). A 32" 4K monitor, a 65" 4K TV, and a 130" 4K projector setup have vastly different PPIs, but the same overall quality once you consider that you're going to sit a distance away from the screen that makes sense for its size - if you're 3 feet from a 32", 6 feet from a 65", or 12 feet from a 130", all of these screens have the same resolution per field of view because you've adjusted your seating distance to match. (Don't nitpick the fact that a projector won't be as sharp as a directview display for optical reasons, we're just talking pixel counts here and not real-world-sharpness). Similarly, the dpi scaling setting in windows has more to do with "What percentage of the screen do you want your start menu, application buttons, fonts, etc to take up?" In my case, I actually like the balance of useful area afforded by a 1440p monitor at 100% dpi scaling, so when using a 4k monitor I pop my DPI scaling up to 150%. That means fonts, the start menu, and everything I can interact with at my windows desktop takes up the same percentage of the screen as it would on a 1440p monitor at 100% scaling. That I use a 48" oled tv as my monitor doesn't change the calculation. And that I intend to switch to one of the new 32" 4k qdoleds as soon as they are available doesn't change anything either. My desk is configured so I sit about 4.5 feet from the 48". If I go down to 32", i will sit 3 feet away, still use 150% dpi scaling, and still use 4k resolution for the same experience. As far as why I'd downsize: its easier to layout my desk when the display (which is wallmounted currently) doesn't take up most of the width of it, and I want that sweet sweet 240hz. Because I can sit a reasonable 3 feet from a 32" display, mounting it to the desk rather than the wall makes more sense.
