Thanks for posting this. It's the only practical, and simple, video I've seen which clearly demonstrates the differences with scaling, res, and physical size.
Thanks that was the comparison I was looking for. Great job !
Thank you for comparing the resolutions on both monitors with the same size and also not only focusing on gaming but also productivity.
Thank you. For years I have seen reviews that do not point out the practical shortcomings of UHD monitors. You are spot on with your evaluation.
These 6 seconds at 3:24 are exactly what I've been looking for and couldn't find anywhere else on UA-cam. Thank you so much!
You're very welcome. :)
Hi, thanks for your reply! In the end of the video you say, that it's not recommended to change the resolution of the screen to another resolution that it's native one. So is it fair to say, that OS scaling at full resolution produces a better image than changing the resolution of the monitor (which should also do some sort of scaling, but maybe not as good)?
@@tsakuyo Yes, changing the screen resolution anything lower than native is not recommended. However, OS scaling has come a long way and keeps the screen resolution at native settings while increasing text, icon sizes, etc. The sharpness remains. I would now recommend using scaling. It's really good now within Windows.
Thanks, that helped a lot. I still ordered three monitors now (25" 1440p, 27" 1440p and 27" UHD) to compare them in the real world and find out which one works best for me. One thing I didn't consider before (which also show in your video) is that if the image is being scaled to an uneven factor (1.5 in this case) the image would need to be spread to an uneven number of pixels and therefore some lines appear to be unevenly thick. 1px of original width would have to be spread to 1.5px and sometimes it's going to end up on 1px and sometimes it's going to end up on 2 px, I assume. However, I'm not sure if it's noticeable in the real world, but that's why I ordered the screens now to find out.
i realize Im quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to watch new movies online?
Thank you buddy for making this video and sharing your thoughts about the monitor. It was very descriptive and helpful for me in deciding which monitor to buy.
so glad this video is in existence! helped me visualize and know exactly what i needed!
So which one are you going to buy?
Excellent video, you make very good points and illustrate them very well.
@Nicolas which one do you prefer ? :) I'm looking something for programming but I can't decide between 24inch 1920x1200 and 2560x1440
Excellent thank you, just what I was looking for
great video as usual. i just upgraded from a 1080p 60hz monitor to a 1440p 165hz for gaming and media consumption and i can confidently say this is the best way to go if you value a mix of refresh rate and resolution or if you don't do any high end content creation.
which monitor did you purchase?
i got the ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q
I just got 1440p 240hz 1ms response Samsung Odyssey G7
Jayden James seems like a waste? On what games do you get 200+ - 240hz to utilize the hz?
Kkpz csgo, rainbow 6, Kerbal space program unless I do some mad shit. I think I get it on WaRzone but it don’t let me show my FPS so I’m unsure
Thanks for this video, I can say this is one of the best on UA-cam that compares text/window size and scaling in such a way.
Is it possible can we get one more video for 4k 2160p 27' vs 32'
Very practical and straight to the point. Thanks.
Awesome video even today. Gave me exactly what I needed. Thanks.
Thank you, even though scaling in Windows has come a long way by now. :)
Very helpful review... exactly what I am looking for
Excellent description comparison!
ProTip: GPU's have significantly better quality hardware scaling than most any integrated chips on monitors. Use GPU scaling if you plan on using any resolutions other than the native of the display and the overall readability of text and sharpness of images will be significantly better. GPU scaling used to be a shit show like 10 years ago but it's no longer an issue.
Excellent comparison dude... Thank you.
thanks. only review that actually noted that downscaling a uhd monitor to qhd in order to read text IS NOT the same as watching 1440 on a qhd because 1440 isn't native to the uhd monitor.
Thanks, this was the info i was looking for.. going for a certain screen size what are advantages and disadvantages.
You helped me a lot! Thank you! :)
Lots of options for 1440p with Decent refresh rates of 144+.
On the other hand. 4k Monitors have limited choices and seems to be only going for 60/75 hz.
I'm talking about the $400 price range and below.
This is eternally confusing me on which to get.
Thank you for answering my question. I thought about buying a 4K monitor, and scale down the resolution to 2K when playing games which are more demanding and have the quality of a 2K monitor, but apparently I will have a lower quality image than with a native 2K monitor.
Lovely. Just what I was after, thanks
This helped so much. Thank You!
You're welcome!
I'm so glad I watched this video, I picked up the Samsung Odyssey G5 1440p a few months ago, I love and everyting. I just always thought did I make a mistake by not getting a 4k? Now I'm very satisfied with my purchase with no doubts thanks to this video. This video brought to my attention something I didn't even consider before so thank you.
why do you prefer 2k to 4k?
great, thanks!
3:52 nice taste in music and thx for the video
Great video man you couldn’t tell us better 👍🏼
Thanks for your kind words. :)
great video thank you
Excellent explanation between the two.
Excellent comparison, I really did not find something better on youtube, especially for the comparison that shows at minute 3:20, you can see the superiority of having a higher resolution in the same number of inches, this pushed me to want a sharpness of That quality, I am a developer and I spend a large part of the day reading and writing code (letters), that is why the sharpness of the text is extremely important to me, for example, the sharpness of Apple screens is impressive, I found out and understood that It is because of the high ppi of its screens, all greater than 215 ppi, so if I wanted sharpness, I would have to look for a monitor with that pixel density, and a QHD(1440p) in 27 inches only offers 108 ppi, if I raise the resolution At 4k I get 163 ppi, a good thing but not as much as when you go up to 5k and you get 218 ppi, that amount of ppi makes the text brutally sharp and that's great for those who read and write most of the day in front of a monitor.
I hope this great comment helps other passionate programmers, editors, or readers to choose a monitor correctly.
PS: I currently use the LG Ultrafine 5k, and I use it with my Macbook Pro and a Dell G5.
The issue is the higher resolution the insanely price go 😔, I want to buy 32 inch screen, was thinking ro buy the HD, now i would buy at least the quadHD
Finally a great same inches resolution monitor comparison. Thank you a lot mate!!
great explanation
Would I benefit from a 27" at 1440p vs 24" at 1080p for everyday use? Would text size be about the same?
If i whant 4k with 2080 can i lower res ? Like at 1440p witout blurry light just normal
I went to five stores today and didn't get half the answers I got from just watching this video 🙌
Very informative, thank you so much for the explanation. I am looking to buy a WQHD 34inch screen, do you think it is good enough for someone who does a lot of programming and reading on the internet. I watch some movies, dont do much gaming. Please advise. Any recommendations for a good 34 inch wide screen WQHD monitor would be great :) .
question should be, at 2160p, if we scale at 150% in windows, it's the text and apps that scale which make it seem like 1440p and thus usable. however, images do not so at 4k with scaling in windows you have sharper images vs the same image in 1440p monitor. this is for windows only as mac osx scales everything you see, not just gui and text. the mac osx scaling does it a lot better as windows scaling only scales certain things and not pictures and movies as a whole properly.
1440p is greate, for gaming and for work too...from my point of view, i have one and it's so nice :)
@Utube isJunk 4k @27" is the butter of img, by increasing the size of the apps and text till you reach the visual comfort for your eyes
@Utube isJunk yes, i have tried this and it's fine, with 4k tv and with a 27" Philips 4k monitor, if you have the opportunity take a look by yourself; again from my point of view the 27" 4k is the best img that you can have on a pc, also take in consideration the ppi density
@Utube isJunk yes, the in game text is a problem, a referred specifically to the windows text, app text, the ones that ca be influenced by the "scaler"
i have my 4k at my house(monitor and tv) and at my flat i use a Viewsonic Elite as a daily driver (for work and gaming)which is 165hz ips display and very happy with it. But, the 4k is something else, it's a different taste if I can refer to it so
Utube isJunk is it Gold for 32 too?
@Dustin he means in-game text scaling. imagine playing rpg and reading the tiny text when you open your inventory.
Ok guys! I'm struggling between choosing 1440p on 27" and 32". I'm gonna make music in Ableton Live so I need a bit more working space cause 1080p isn't enough for me. What inch would you recommend to work with comfort without squinting eyes?
Stas Orliuk 27’ trust me I have one for gaming it’s a dell 27’ 144hz 1MS LED GHD G-Sync and it’s perfect.👌🏼

Windows 10 is the problem, not the monitors.
Metro apps look amazing on a 4k monitor with scaling. The problem is with old desktop applications, including the latest Office 365, which I use a lot. Menu writing blends into each other, some of the buttons are miniscule and copy and pasting images or screen prints between apps produces random sizes. You can fix it by going back to the standard 1920 x 1080 resolution which seems to be what Windows 10 is designed for, but then everything looks distorted, like an SD picture on an HD TV.
Hey buddy, you seem to have a ton of experience with monitors, can you give me a hand? I can't wrap my head around this...
I really like the 27-inch display size as my main display for productivity --coding, taking notes with my graphic tablet, and watching educational videos--. Because of that, I would like to have a monitor that complements the 27-inch display...Which resolution would you recommend for the 27-inch display, and which monitor size and resolution would you recommend as a complementing display for the 27-inch display?
I was thinking of going 27 at 4k plus a 24 at 1080p
Appreciate your suggestions!
PS: I don’t do gaming at all!
I'm curious to know if playing a game at 1080p on a 2160p screen looks as good as playing it on a 1080p screen. It is my understanding that anything else than native resolution usually results in pixel bleeding, that said in that particular case we are talking about scaling up the image exactly by a factor of 2 where 4 screen pixels should be used to represent one.
I have never seen a monitor that looks as good when changed from it's native resolution.
excellent video, 1440p ultrawide for me ;). great video and advice for users
Excellent video !
Thank you
How does it scale on a Mac at "looks like 1440p"? Does the fact that it's not close to either 110ppi or 220ppi have any impact on text clarity? bjango.com/articles/macexternaldisplays/
thanks nico
Can you upload one more video comparing 2K and 4K monitor? As I am still confused which one to buy and I am not able to find another video like yours comparing 2K and 4K monitor displaying the content.
can you use 3440x1440 only on this monitor so its easier to drive? like only use the physical 3440x1440 pixels and black bars on the sides so it wont look blurry? 3440x1440 mode thats not fullscreen? on a 4k monitor, just use 3440x1440 for gaming and use 4k resolution for movies
like a widowed borderless option lock on the resolution to what you set so it wont mess the graphics quality and becomes blurry
I'm using monitor for daily use such as email, browsing, casual gaming, and financial analysis. most of them require multitasking windows. is it worth to upgrade to 4K?
What about macOS? Does it need scaling in uhd resolution?
Muy buenos los puntos q tocas mejor q todos los demas canales. TKU
How does it go from 1440 p monitors and than all the way up to 2160p. How is there no 1600 or 1800 monitors
Nicolas11x12 English I watch movies, videos and study, I don't play games on the monitor, is there much difference in daily use? is the difference felt?
Great video brother
2K is the perfect mix for performance and look (as long as you have the right equipment)
Between 2k and 4k on my 4k tv when I'm gaming I really can't see much differences because of tv upscaling and a distance between you and tv. but on monitor you may see the difference 😃
Good music playing :)
Thank you!
great Video :)
You think getting a 2.1 hdmi 4k monitor for 6800xt worth getting more frames?
For a 27” non-gamer will resources on GPU (Geforce 1060 6gb ram)and CPU (6 core AMD ryzen 5) be significantly more? I also do casual video and photo editing for fun. Should I run 1440p on the 4K monitor. I sit 20-26 inches away.
AdmiringPlays GeForce 1060 super 6GB, AMD Ryzen 5 6 core and 32GB Ram. Not sure if that’s powerful enough for running 4K and if it’s good for 2-3 years before having to upgrade.
Now I have something else to thank about before buying a 4k 144hz screen.
Right now I'm upscaling my 1080p screen to 1444p and 2160p for games and I see the text on my desktop is a little blurry.
I thought it was blurry because of the way I'm upscaling the screen using nvidia control panel.
Thank you surprisingly well done video , you did point out most of the things really well. For a 27" monitor the best resolution to go for is surely 2k. There will be also no difference seen if someones looks at both screens from an regular distance only when moving really close you can see the difference.
And the scaling issues that comes with 4K monitor in this size can be also really bad depending on the program that is used. Else everything will be so small that it is not readable like you mentioned.
There are clear reasons why Eizo still produces 2k Monitors for professional in art related fields like the CG27X.
If someone wants or needs the 4k there are probably no other option then to go with a 32inch one.
All those monitors are a part of the 4k craze that is going on, everyone owns a 4k TV but how much 4k content is there really to enjoy? Not too much.
Hi, im currently looking for upgrade to my 27 1080 monitor, and struggling to decide which to choose - 27 144hz 1440p or 28 4k 60hz , which will be better, price is almost the same for them, the main question is how distinguishable is difference in sharpness and overall look between 1440p and 4k at 27 monitor, and will 144hz be better at regular games like Cyberpunk, Witcher, Diablo, The Outer Worlds, etc. I will buy 3080 so gpu performance is not a problem.
This is just my opinion but 4k vs 1440p on a 27" monitor is negligible. You barely notice the difference and you will have to upscale to read stuff like he mentions in the video which basically makes it look like a 1440p monitor at the cost of additional GPU rendering (ie lower frame rates in game). 1440p is best on a 27" monitor while 4k is better on a 32-34" monitor imo.
Definitely go for 144hz over 60hz for gaming. There is a big difference there, more so than going from 1440p to 4k in my opinion.
@@DigitalHalftones thanks for your reply, so i will closely look for those sweet 144hz monitors)
Hi Nicolas.
Thanks for the very good review.
I'm an amateur photographer, mostly stills, also in the process of choosing a monitor, the 27" looks like the optimum size.
My main question, can someone really see difference in sharpness 2K vs 4K on 27" monitor? Neither gaming nor video editing use.
Personally I have no practical way to do this comparing.
If not for gaming do I need special GPU to get the 4K resolution? Suggestions?
Thanks for your comments.
Gil.
If you're sitting at a desk, 2K (1080p) vs 2160p should be noticeable. The difference between 1440p and 2160p is less noticeable.
I do have a 4k 27 inch monitor and I have to say that with programs like GIMP the scaling does not work pretty well, the icons and text are very small. Whereas photoshop scales pretty well on the monitor. Yes you will notice a difference in 2k and 4k if you are close to the screen, but the difference is not very huge. Problem with 4k on 27 inch is that it makes text and icons kinda small, most people will tell you that for 4k you shouldn't go below 32 inches. And apparently the perfect inch for 2k is 27 inch.
Yes you will need a graphic card that is capable of resolute in 4k, but this also work with cheaper graphic card, no need to buy an expensive one, for photoshop your rather want a good cpu than gpu if you don't want to have long loading times during photo editing.

@@manuelavendano3891 Hey, if you are coding a lot I personally would find 4k on a 27inch a bit too small. 4k on a 27 inch makes everything very small, so for coding the codes will appear very tiny. But you can always scale in windows to make everything bigger on the screen. On the other hand on a 4k screen you will have much more space for more open more windows than you will have on a 2k or 1080p, so you can open more windows. If you don't do gaming at all you won't need more than 60hz. I would say if you have a good eyesight then 4k 27 inch will still be fine.
But the question is if you really need 4k for coding and educational videos? I mean 4k is nice if you watch 4k videos, or do any graphic design stuff or like playing games in high resolution. Since you only use it for coding and educational videos I would say that 2k (1444p) monitor which are cheaper than the 4k monitors should be enough for your purpose.
@@Afura33 Thanks a lot for your thoughtful suggestion! I ended up going for a 2k resolution
Have a good one!
fantastic!!!!
PERFECT VIDEO!
This pretty much explains it. I am returning a 4K display Dell XPS due to the scaling issues. You'd think in 2020, they would've figured it out by now. Truly unfortunate.
Actually a lot of scaling issues have been resolved by now. I'd say keep it, unless you experience issues in your own workflow. :)
Apple figured this out with the iPhone 4 they called it Retina Display at 10inches the distance from eye to hand you dont need many pixels per inch for them not to see them.
Then why this review is FHD(1080p)?
okay so 27 inch 4k monitor needs scaling to read text comfortably like 1440p Monitor. But what about 34 inches and above 4k monitors that are available today? Are they big enough to not need scaling?
I would say on a 32 inch 4k you will be fine.
"Viewsonic vx2778" vs "LG 27ud58-B"
They both have same price. Even viewsonic expensive by %10.
-Main intention of use is designing, modeling, 3D rendering by means of CAD programs, photoshop, sket hup, vray etc.
I have to choose one. Could somebody please advice?
Many thanks...
The LG seems better

Should i get a 1440p 240hz for my future rtx 3090 or 4k 144hz? If there is any difference in between those two and if its really a difference
Unless you are a pro gamer you won't need anything over 144hz. It really is diminishing returns after that point for almost every normal person that games. 60hz to 144hz is like WOW that is better, but 144hz to 240hz is like hmm is it really any different. It's the same with going from a 4k tv to an 8k tv. You literally can't tell from the distance to your couch between the two which makes it pointless.
I say go with 144hz and decide between 1440p or 4k depending upon monitor size. If 27" go 1440p. If 32" or bigger go 4k, but there aren't many monitors that are 32"+ 4k and 144hz on the market at the moment.
great video
Best video on UA-cam comparing 4k to 1440p
A great video!
Thank you! :)
Bro ,I got a question as I recorded a video in portrait and landscape with my phone and saw video resolution of both footage to be same .So how is that possible
Why would it be different?
can you spot visual difference when gaming or watching a movie?
4 year old video, still relevant. Great stuff.
Thank you!
what abot nv control panel, its so small at 2 and 4k
it wont upscale
You could use 1440p on a 4K monitor using 1:1 pixel aspect ratio without losing any sharpness. The downside however is that your screen size shrinks, so if you're using a 27" 4K monitor, it would be as if you were using an 18" inch 1440p monitor. But you could also run other resolutions, like 1800p, which would look like a 22.5" monitor on your 27". Or 1600p, which would look like 20". Or you could simply lower your graphics settings. The highest setting is usually overkill in most games. You don't need annoying effects like blur for instance.
Pixel aspect ratio is not the same as pixel scaling.
using 4k 32 inch for 2 years now, difference between 2k is negligible if you are nitpicking. Well you might notice the slight difference, but it wouldn't matter that much after sometime. 4k monitor 175% scaling = 2k 125% scaling. They will look almost the same on a 32 inch
this video is so much helpful. I was thinking to buy 4k and change resolution or scaling. but noo..
I dont know weather get a 4k 60hz or 1440p 144hz monitor for my series x HELP
What you do with your computer?
Excellent
Thank you for this video! All the other 1440p vs 4K monitor comparison videos just focus on games. I was looking for a higher than 1080p resolution monitor for coding and couldn’t find a good video. I originally got a 32” 1440p monitor but it wasn’t sharp enough. Then I got a 27” 4K monitor and the text way too small at native and even at 125% scaling but I leave it at that because with 150% scaling I lose a major reason of getting a higher res monitor.
I think 1440p at 27” and 4K at 32” or more is the best combinations.
Thank you and yes, you're right -- the sweetspots are 27" for 1440p and probably 32" for 2160p.
Dunkelwelpling save up for an ips, no Reason to save money for something that won’t work for you
@@Nicolas11x12English This means that the ideal resolution for a 34 inch ultrawide is 3440x1440? I say it because a 34 ultrawide has the same height as a 27 monitor.
You are correct, your sweet spot were 27inch 1440p.

On short: if you want screen real estate, get a bigger monitor not necessarily more pixels otherwise it all becomes tiny and you end up scaling
My wife just received her MBP 16 M1Max laptop yesterday and is loving it. She records almost all her video in 1080p and posts about 50 video per year to her You Tube Channel. Her desk space is compact with a viewing distance of about 20 ish inches. I’ve been reading about PPI/scaling etc. and wondering if she should get a 24 inch 4K or a 27 inch 2k. She uses progressive lenses so eyes aren’t that good.
get 27 inch 1440p 144hz from benq
that nice make review on 1080 p ;)
Thank you man. I decided to go for 27" 2k QHD the x2 \ 3 higher price for 4k PC (is it not TV) thinks not worth much.
the greater the monitor seems to be the badass highest price PC case.. xD
You did an amazing helpful video. Thanks again I did my choice right :-)
QHD (2560×1440) isn't 2K, it is actually 2.5K. 2K is 2048×1080.
@@Crlarl still, much better result, Thanks.
Can you set 4k display 2k and then in game scale resolution to 3k. For example RU8000 Samsung tv supports 120hz 1440p ,60hz 4k, maybe with 3k can I get 80hz?
3K isn't used on consumer products. However, 2.5K (2560×1440) is. Don't use 2K (2048×1080) unless you make films professionally.
Very useful info! What monitor size do you recommend for UHD at 100% scaling?
"37 ultra wide is good - for gaming.
@@jackjude Good luck finding a 37" monitor that has UHD resolution!
1080p looks good at 24". 4k is 4x 1080p so 48" to keep the same scaling. Ultra wides are usually 1440p.
does gaming at 1080p on a 1440p monitor looks bad? my graphics are not that great
Use LibreOffice, the spinoff has more up-to-date libraries and better scaling in general.
Why not MS?
Benq ips 80w, 1080p ips monitor or lg 4k u458d?

Right so I am getting a 27" screen and am conflicted because I intend to use it for a lot of Photoshop, Illustrator type of work but not exclusively - it's also my screen for day-to-day web browsing and such... Not sure at the moment
For creative uses, 4k would suit you better.
Having the same issue here, I do photo editing, web browsing, watching videos and playing games ^^
good video
A question. If i buy a 1440P monitor and want to use it for my ps4 too next to my pc will it be blurry as well?
You probably already found your answer, but if you use a standard PS4, it will render games at 1080p, and that will look blurry on 1440p, so unless you have a Pro, it will be blurred.
MadKitKat yeah! Thats really what i wanted to know. Thanks for taking the time to respond! I have a regular ps4 so best way to go would be to use separate screens!
Is 1440p good with ASUS DUAL RX 5600 XT T6gb graphics card? I hope it can because i really want 1440p or over! Does it match with ASUS DUAL RX 5600 XT and the Intel core i5-10600?
Yeah.
