i recently switched from a 24" 144hz 1080p monitor to a 32" 1440p 260hz monitor and actually find competitive cs far better, its easier to see people through gaps and long distance, despite it being so much larger
I was disappointed with 1440p from 1080p, but definitely not disappointed at all with 4k vs 1440p, it's definitely overkill, but my 4k 27 inch, I can see everything crystal clear, and it actually has made me play games like CS better even though I'm at a lower fps.
I was about to write: 'This video is clearly an advert', but yeah, the *entire* thing is basically an advert, like one of those late-night TV ads that drones on and on. I'm not going to buy an average-looking item from a brand that no-one has ever heard-of though, just because some randomer pushes it down my throat. It was my first time visiting this channel and will will likely be my last (given that there was nothing special about the way the "ad" was delivered either).
I had a1080p and upgraded to 4k and truthfully the difference is minimal. People act as if it's a night and day difference to justify the money they realize they wasted lol. So don't worry you're good. I would've stuck with my old monitor had I known. Going from 480 to 720=huge leap, 720 to 1080=small jump, 1080 to 4k, bunny hop lol
@@jimmycarpenter6612 yes ,i would agree too ,plus the fact the amount of frames you get in 1080p vs 1440 or 4k is in itself a night and day difference , to me the pixel density for 1080p also looks perfect . Everything performs good and looks perfect !
My best upgrade ever was in 2015, built my first gaming pc. Went from playing PS3 at 720p or very rare 1080p at 30fps. With my gaming pc, I was playing 1440p at 60-100fps. Talk about being blown away. I game at 4K and 34” ultra wide in OLED monitors now, but that initial jump still ranks #1
I’ve only been a console gamer so up until I got a Series S (have Series X now) last year, 30fps was all I had known with gaming. I remember when I first jumped in BF2042 (have been a BF fan since BF3) and felt the 60fps smoothness, I had one of those rare “okay this is next gen” moments.
Not a pro gamer, but QHD (1440p) is great for non-professional gaming. The display resolution with good enough FPS makes the experience worth it if money/career is not on the line. I can see the perks if someone's career/money is on the line, then FHD (1080p) is optimal to reduce lags or other graphical issues.
The thing is if you have enough money to build a 1440p pc spending less to build a 1080p that will offer you less image quality is dumb. If you can't pay for a pc that can run 1440p smoothly don't do it. I cant i dont go around saying 1080p is better. Progamers should be playing in like a 4090 and i doubt they go around saying "hey you need to play in 1080p as you will be running the game at 300fps and not 200!" This video is an AD lol
@@Iseolssnah I crush folks easily in 1080p since the speed response and tight img is where it's at. Now for watching movies of course I want 4k plus. Even better is the top crt monitor
@@JuanGelogo you know that you can get same speed response and tight image with other resolutions right? That's what my point was, if you really have money to spend, you can get same and better than 1080p.
@@Iseolss just not worth it, I'm not bezzos or Elon . Modern tech doesn't age well also so dumping money in a monitor that really isn't that much better picture wise but same where I need it just isn't worth it. 1080p is a great image on 24in and smaller. Now if I was on a controller sitting back id just game off my 65in 4k tv Wich 4k at that size isn't better than 1080p on 24inch but it's great.
As a more casual gamer who also likes to watch movies and videos. A 1440p is the way to go as we get a better quality. Also with game settings you can manually turn down the quality, therefore having both a 1440p and 1080p monitor in one (to some extent)
Major reason why pros are on 1080p is due tournament equipment that is most of the times 1080p monitors. Ofc you see all info on smaller screen better so you dont get your eyes tired that fast, but if we are not talking about like csgo hardcore pros, most of them would switch to higher res instantly.
People myself included do it because it’s easier to aim and that’s is every game not just cs can’t hit shit on native even though I’ve been playing shooters for years.
I moved from a 27" 165Hz 1440p monitor to a 24" 360Hz 1080p monitor for "competitive" purposes and now I game on a 34" 180Hz 1440p monitor and I enjoy the immersion the ultrawide offers the most.
Yeah idk how people can play on 1080p on a 24 inch unless they're literally shoving their nose in the screen how can you see at far distances if it's all fuzzy and small f that your eyes can't even see an improvement much after 165 hz that's all you need I'll still to my 32 inch curved 1440p it looks better, runs smoother, and is way better than any 1080p
I don't even know if that whole periphery vision is true. More likely that pro gamers are just given 24" at tournaments because it saves space, and so that's how they practice in response. Same reason many play with their keyboard slanted.
I am sure for a pro the difference between which ever is better is a difference of being rank 50 or rank 53. The response time is the most important thing, a 27inch 1440p monitor also wins if you have a setup where you are a foot further back then normal I would imagine. With response time cpu gpu and ram overclocking are worth a lot too, playing with ram overclocking I got my DDR5 36 6000 up to 30 6600 and that dropped my system latency from 75ns to 65ns.
One thing i'm quite shocked to learn was fighting games are much more reliant on fast response time & refresh rate compared to FPS games despite their framerate being capped to 60 fps. All for the sake of minimizing input delay. Since their reactions are based on each frame or 16 ms, they really need stable & low input delay. Pro players read frame data like a bible.
Oh yeah, pro fighting game players are honestly, in my humble view on a whole different level, reaction times are one thing, but these guys strategize their playstyles and complex button input attack patterns based on rendering frame times in their games, and learn it so deeply that they are able to pivot on a dime. Srsly the God-est of gamers in my opinion.
@@JohnnyRecords well, they are. You probably think fighting game players just input combos and mash buttons. Their whole game is based on how many frames each attack does and how to capitalize or punish any attack from the opponent based on how many frames their attack is active. They even made a new type of input device/controller called "hitbox" to minimize the frames needed to execute a move.
@@JohnnyRecords it's not high end device. It's designed for the purpose of performance in fighting games, and you could make your own, & it's not expensive. It's like a new type of controller.
I'm the exact opposite. I went from a screen like what you're describing to a 32" 1440 at 165hz and 1ms response. It substantially improved my performance, and my framerate is never an issue.
Even Ninja & Tfue plays on 1080p but 360Hz yo. 240hz or 360hz at 1920x1080p will help a lot in Fortnite game. also You might be CPU bottleneck at 1080p but you will get the MOST FPS too. example if you have RTX 4090 at 1080p = you will get over 500+ , 600+ FPS depends on which Games tho, if the game is fully optimized then yeah 400FPS on Fortnite 1080p RTX 4090 easily accomplished but 1080p @ 360hz monitor 🤫 = the more hertz Hz it has the more expensive it will be😬
I have same probably monitor, LG Ultragear 32" right? Cus same specs, 1440p 165hz 1 ms response 😂 But talking about perfomance it eats a lot of fps, I had to upgrade my pc. 💀
I went back to 1080p gaming do to the lack of ultra wide support on many titles, along with countless resolution problems during streaming different titles. 1080p just works.
@@delveticas My main problem is aspect ratio support, ultra wide/super wide is very lacking in many games. 21:9, 32:9 Aspect ratios are unsupported in plenty of games. When this aspect ratio isn't supported, you have to lower your resolution to fill in the black bars the game doesn't account for. When you lower your resolution to lower than what your native screen is you run into unique "resolution problems" of their own. Screen tearing, forced full screen, blown up imagines, random display swaps on a multi monitor setups. It's not an issue of high-resolution support. There's is also streaming issues with canvas support for ultra wide aspect ratios. The Ultra Wide Support I find lacking in this day and age. I usually have to go third party mods in order to get even new games working with those aspect ratios. It ends up not being worth it. Going 1080p was a personal choice being I do play some older games that don't support new resolutions.
@@Quake_X1almost everygame is playable in ultrawide with few tweaks. Even super old games from 2000s are easily playable after tweaking with a hex-editor. Few games that easily run at ultra wide: Witcher 2, Dragons Dogma, Gta iv and Star Wars Republic Commando, Skyrim , Batman Origins, Bullet Storm etc.
I had been playing Apex at 1080p 144hz 24in and switched to a 1440p 165hz 27in monitor. I usually only average 100 fps but the resolution is like night and day for clarity.
Yall are bricked. I'd rather play apex at 720 or lower than "average 100". Not only is inconsistent and low fps feel terrible, the constant strain on the pc will give you more input lag. You really shouldn't be playing a game like Apex like that. There's 0 benefit to a higher res
@@bocadog31440p isn’t only for single player games. Lmfao. 1080p on a 24” doesn’t look great, let alone 720p. This isn’t 2012. Plenty of hardware out there can drive an easy ass game like Apex legends well over 100FPS at 1440p.
I had a 1440p 27" but decided to go back to 24" 1080p. The smaller screen feels way nicer for myself in competitive FPS games. For a few reasons the 24" just fits better.
@@goestheboom5211 its not the same frames tho, u will see a drop in performance going from 1080p to 4k. also some people prefer higher refresh rate rather than better image
But you can have 144 Hz 4k Monitors already so just Pick both tjere is no reason to Pick 1080p today other then saving money, the picture quality takes a nosedive from 4k to 1080p especially when you are forced to use DLSS or TAA that shit dont cut it in 1080p you cant see anything farther away then 2 meters that has camo. If you ever Played the New 2023 wrc game from ea on ps5 you know how Bad Dlss and taa looks on a 1080p picture not feasable for serious gaming
as someone who has 1080p 240hz and 1440p 165hz I definitely prefer the 1440p 165hz. it has a lot to do with the sharper resolution that I like. I do plan on eventually getting a 1440p 240hz sometime in the future.
I switched from a 24 inch 1080p 144hz to a 32 inch 1440p 144hz and I wouldn't go back. Especially in size. I can now sit perfectly on my chair as recommended ergonomically, without having the tendencies of leaning forward to 'see' better. I didn't feel any other changes in my gameplay. I click heads even better on 32 inch since I can see better 🤷
Gigabyte G24F 2 This monitor for it's price at $120, probably the best bang for buck 1080p 165hz 1ms monitor, which can be overclocked to 180hz. Featuring IPS Panel and HDR10+ image quality. Fully adjustable too.. The best performance + visual treat giving monitor imo.
I still can't believe that it is possible in this world for someone who plays Super Mario to turn pro. What a screwed up world with regard to priorities. We *must be living in the months before World War 3.*
As someone who used to compete, this is pretty accurate. Most games don't benefit from high resolutions. Even CSGO pros play on even lower resolutions like 1024x768 to both stretch the game and run the game at a higher frame rate. Things like HDR and 4K mean absolutely nothing.
Well for the less than .01% of so called "competitive gamers" lol whatever that is I guess next will be "competitive TV watching" lol. If someone games not for fun but "competition" lol that be backwards imho lol.
Most "competitive" games but if you can at least pumping out 400fps, it is worth to go higher. maybe not CS coz it is just a cult now. but in APEX, 1440p literally helps you see things you cant in 1080. it is night and day comfort.
@@leanlifter1 there are way more than 0.1%. Competitive doesn't mean top esports pro, it just means you prefer competitive games and game modes. A lot of people find competitive modes fun as fun is subjective. You don't need the most high end monitor for something like that.
@@EnnTomi1 oh for sure. More is always better, but not necessary. I still see some pros playing at 144hz with their mouse running at 500hz still crushing the top dogs.
I'm a pro that uses 2k 165hz 27in. It's an older monitor, an upgrade to 240hz would be best. For screen size and resolution, you have to take your sitting distance into account as well -- the further the distance the larger the monitor and higher resolution you want. Curved is good too for improving visibility. I personally don't recommend 1080p. A lot of pros just use what they are used to and what older pros used. Same with stretched aspect ratios, things appear bigger but the movement seems faster as well and your hamper your FOV. It's all preference. As long as you have the hardware to run the game at your native resolution and refresh rate for your game, there's no reason to go 1080p. If your PC can handle 2k 240hz 24in or 4k 240hz 27in, do it.
Very relevant comment. I think it's unanimous that 27" 1440p is a great option. However, I need it to be 24" and not 27" because of space. I'm on the fence about a 24" 1440p monitor (the Samsung S24A600NWN specifically). I happen to be a user of text, graphics and office work (not gaming). My concern is whether it could happen that the size of the text and the size of the letters, as well as the general adjustment of applications, can become too small to the point of difficulty reading. I position myself between 60 and 70 centimeters from the screens. I currently use 3 monitors, all 24" 1080p. So, my concern is: if I add another 24" monitor, but with 1440p, will I suffer with the size of the text when reading? Or could it happen that I like it so much that I want to replace them all for 1440p?
My PC can run my 27" 1440p monitor but I rather run it on my 24" 1080p. There's no right answer, it's all preference. I prefer the view distance of a 24" screen with less screen to look at for competitive gaming. I had to push the 27" screen back enough to feel comfortable but didn't translate well with me for competitive gaming. I'll be a forever 24" 1080p enjoyer.
It's funny i just got a 32inch 4k monitor a few weeks ago. I came from a 1080p 24inch. At first it was jarring and I was struggling to play games like doom eternal because of over stimulation. I eventually got used to it and would never go back. It's great.
@@KingBuffo It's like a high effect. I remember first staring at a 1440p 244h monitor, just gazing at sheer awe at the screen quality of that bad boy compared to my 1080p screen on my laptop. Once you see, you can't unsee. It's thinking B cups are great, but once you see C cups there's no going back.
I like my 32" 1440p monitor. Sit back, see it all. But when I need to zoom in and look at the details such as sniping, I can push myself into the screen and see no pixels. Best of both worlds.
I've just personally never found myself wanting more than my 144hz 1080p screen, it does the job just fine. It also gives me the benefit of hitting that 144 refresh rate more consistently than friends with 1440p.
that is a huge exaggeration. I rock both a 1080p monitor and 4k one. The difference from 1080p to 4k is MASSIVE and noticeable. A standard 1080p at 24 inches vs 1440p at 27 inches is not going to produce significantly noticeable results, albeit a slightly higher dpi. Even so, I can still game at 1080p no problem and still enjoy the visual fidelity. @@toddblankenship7164
Might depend on the surface and type of mouse slider. I used my desk as mouse pad for years , but then I changed my mouse and really needed to use mouse pad from that point. But it was worth it. Both sensor and also mouse feeling from sliding standpoint got better.
CPU throttling will actually happen more with a lower resolution, because the more fps you push, the more your cpu has to keep up. Adding quality settings and increasing the resolution will offload some of that to the GPU at the expense of FPS.
Not... how that works O.o It isn't offloading anything to the GPU by stressing the GPU more. It's just stressing the GPU more to the point where the CPU is still doing the same thing just... within a longer timeframe. Same in reverse, Also known as a bottleneck. You're just picking which one to bottleneck. And CPU bottlenecks always 'feel' worse, because the CPU controls everything else in the system. Keyboard, mouse, network controllers. 100% CPU usage can do weird ass things to everything and anything. For anyone that might benefit from a lifetime gamer's advice. Limit your fps, always. That way you have neither a CPU nor GPU bottleneck, it basically minimises stutters and long frame times because neither CPU nor GPU are pegged at 100% when a particularly demanding scene renders.
@@taxa1569 The adaptive sync means you don't have to cap frames anymore with no input lags that come with vsync but all the positives like a stable image with no tearing at any framerate.
Low settings, resolution included, will use my CPU due to it pumping more frames, increases graphics settings can often increase CPU usage with settings like draw distance, or anything increasing the density of objects and AI, and especially ray tracing. If your GPU is asleep then a higher resolution will often no reduce your fps if your CPU can't keep up anyway, and having your fps uncapped with the CPU at it's limit will cause more stutters than letting the GPU stay at 99%. There's too many variables and factors that play in to it for there to be a "be all and end all", and this is what pro players don't understand is that there's always a downside somewhere. You can cap your fps with Rivatuner to like 120fps if your PC was getting 150fps and it should be constant with a flat frame time graph and be smooth, but pros like having uncapped because it has the more "up to date" information, it's just preference.
Just cap the fps to 3 lower than the monitor hz. You ain't getting any CPU throttling by trying to push to 277 fps. There's not enough fpses to stress it that much.
Since I was on a budget I went with a 1080p 24 inch display from ELSA. It's a 180Hz IPS panel. Since this is my first experience with a high refresh rate panel, it's definitely a game changer. I can't go back to lower refresh rates anymore. I got this on sale for under 70 USD which is a very good deal! In the future hopefully 1440p IPS panels with high refresh rates gets more affordable. My monitor grail is going to be a mini LED 32 inch 1440p monitor with at least a 240Hz refresh rate.
It's certainly dependent on the types of games. For those of us that love story based rpgs, 1440p and even 4k are way way better and preferred because of the graphic quality alone. But yes, back when I was competitive in Dota 2 and SC2 I had a 24' 1080p monitor and it was actually easier on the eyes
I remember when 480p came out and it was crazy. These kids will never get to truly appreciate this stuff because it's all they've ever known. But still, gaming was better than the 90s and early 2000s than it is now if you ask me.
Having tried a 27" 1440p gaming monitor, it feels like a tradeoff between more clarity for having too much visual space (at least in games). I dream of the day companies will make 25" 1440p high refresh rate monitors, that's where I feel the sweet spot for gaming is.
I've always preferred 1080p and broke my monitor during a recent move so this would be an amazing replacement. I hadn't heard of this company before but looks great, thank you for this video.
1080p on a 24" is like 1440p on a 32". Recently out of curiosity I lowered the resolution on a 32" 1440p 165hz monitor to 1080p. I could litereally see the grains onevery game. I can imagine those who game on 4k see even more grains when they get to 1440p. If you're undecided about if it's worth the money I highly suggest you to lift your butt up and test it in rl. Stores offer setups to try the specs out. It's really worth the experience!
How cool is that! I just got myself into the Halo universe on the Xbox Series S, I think itll be awesome to experience my new adventures on this monitor at a 120hz and see whats the excitement about 😊
120fps on a gamepad is undetectable. High fps gaming is for use with gaming grade high dpi mouse for fast and smooth panning of the camera which the analogs are to slow and imprecise to accomplish. The analog sticks are not fast enough to get any benefit from more than 60fps and 5ms response time because analog is very very slow.
@@ejnfl24 but the analog stick is still analog. The high dpi gaming grade mouse is 1:1 with digital optical lazer inputs not "analog" stick which adds inherent input lag. Thats why competitive fps online games are played with gaming grade mouse and keyboard and not slow input analog stick gamepad.
I went from a cheaper 1440p display to a more expensive 1080P display with gsync compatibilty I now play Cyberpunk 2077 with overdrive on, everything maxed with smooth frames and - more importantly for me - less power consumption and thus a cheaper powerbill, especially in the wintertime. I can just basically throw every game on ultra RTX+++ without being bothered my wattage is going to go trough the roof. It's great!
So after watching this advertisement video you posted I went to their website and looked up the exact 24-in monitor you were talking about. Their website doesn't make any sense because it says that the panel is an 8-bit color panel but then it says it has HDR10 support which would mean it would have to be a 10-bit panel. Immediate red flag. It also says they use LG panels so I wouldn't I just buy an LG?
I have 2 monitors, neither one I’m really all that pleased with. My first one was a 27 in spectre monitor and the other one is an asus tuff 24.5in. Both at 1080p. The image can be blurry at times, so my choices at this point is to either go 1440p or get a smaller 1080p monitor. I’m probably gonna shoot for 1440p but I’m in need of a new gpu first
@@bigno1900 been doing some research but what I’m searching for may not exist. Im tryna go with 1440p and stay at 27in, but I want a tn panel which doesn’t seem all that common at this resolution. The ghosting on ips monitors is horrendous when playing rhythm games. Not sure what to do rn
@@nolyfe4814 MSI have some pretty good monitors at 1440p 27in, if you dont mind curved monitors that is. It's just a shame they charge so much for newer versions despite the fact that all they really changed was the generation of the DP and HDMI ports. But if you dont mind your max refresh rate being around 165hz you can grab a good panel for around $200 - $250. Bear in mind most MSI monitors have VA panels though, and almost all have noticeable backlight bleed (though only on a fully black screen). Monitor shopping is by far the toughest part of PC gaming.
I actually can see a 32" much better and respond better than if I run a 24. Which is why I went with 27" dual monitors. 1 monitor for the game, and 1 monitor for supporting apps to watch cpu/gpu stats, and inventory apps.
I have the AOC Q24G2A which is one of the few 24 inch high refresh rate IPS 1440p monitors at 165hz. I also don't think size matters as much as people think. You can see some videos of some FPS pros having their monitor less than a foot away from their face while in tournament. It's all really about viewing distance and space on your desk. If you have a 27 inch further away and a 24-inch closer, they'll be equivalent size from your perspective. The advantage of 1440p is you can actually have more detail on small objects and enemies far away. The disadvantage is it's harder to run if you have a bad GPU. But if you have anything recent. In Most FPS games where it matters, you can easily get 400-500 FPS at 1440p. Personally, the one disadvantage of this monitor I got is actually the size and scaling. By default, 1440p defaults to 125% scaling on Windows without you changing anything. But I actually have this monitor closer to my face now than any other 1080p 24-inch monitor I've had it in the past. And stuff is still slightly too small such as text some sites. I'm not also sure if scaling applies to games as much as it does to applications like chrome, as some chats in games seem extremely small even with their chat size at max. Also, 150% scaling (the next size up) is too big imo, while 125% is a tad too small, if you could set a custom size inbetween this would be less of an issue. I also don't really think the higher PPI as a result of 1440p on 24 inch is that great. As I said, I move the monitor closer to me on my desk, making it sort of meaningless. It's still higher PPI than a 1080p 24 inch or 1080p 27 inch at equivalent viewing distance. But really it's too small to benefit from the PPI in a meaningful way. The advantages of a 27 inch 1440p would be that it's slightly higher PPI than a 24 inch 1080p at the same distance. But the bigger advantage is that everything is bigger and therefore actually clearer. A crisp, tiny UA-cam icon is worthless. Same way, a crisp tiny enemy is worthless. This is why pros often are so close to their monitor, imo.
I think It'll also be fair to mention that the distance between you and your monitor does matter as well. Not only that, curved monitor is a huge step up even at 24". It is much more comfortable, viewing angles are better, your eyes strain less etc. Speaking from experience. Now, I don't have a crazy good rig, since I just can't afford to build a high end or even a mid tier gaming pc, so I opted for NucX-i7. Thunderbolt dock for cleaner set up, switched my flat 24" regular ass monitor to a 144hz 23.8" curved monitor and it feels exponentially better. I do have a VESA arm, and I tend to move my monitor a bit closer to me when I'm playing games. Had a 27" monitor at work (not for gaming purposes, obviously) and my eyes start to hurt fairly quickly. Maybe it's also a matter of habit and personal preference.
1080p pretty much nearly halves the work the GPU needs to meaning very large improvements in frames, not only are they cheaper than 1440p monitors as well but you can also get higher quality displays (better golour gamut/contrast ratios), and if you wanted that with 1440p you would need to pay a very large amount of money
Most of 1080p monitors nowadays are budget products or if they are more expensive then they are full gaming monitors. So most of those monitors will be without wide gamut and even if having wide gamut, they will have some color reproduction problems and etc. 1440p monitors are mostly done with wide color gamut and they trying more to adjust them and put better panels because higher budget on all around product still for gaming. Nowadays u don't need to spend a lot to buy good 1440p monitor. It's not 2020.
I love it that we are both using the same desktop background 😂 I wanted to get a new monitor so looking for reviews and this was the first one that came up 🎉
I really enjoy your channel man, been binging your videos! I'd be playing on my custom built PC on this monitor and playing FPS Games like COD MW2 and Apex Legends on here! Keep up the great work man!
what monitor do some of y’all recommend? i only use my ps5 as my gaming system and want to switch from a 75inch tv to a monitor. i dont play too many competitive games as i enjoy story mode games
Not only that. Also power consumption increases a lot with high end graphics. Today's standard is often like 300 watts only for the graphics card. An ecological nightmare. The gaming industry totally sucks in developing clever techniques to push more efficiency (which isn't always power) out of standard hardware. AI improvements like DLSS can do this, but it's not implemented in every game sad to say.
@@Butziwackel my energy bill gaming for 5 hrs on a 4k monitor was over $300 and this was 3 years ago. Went back to 1440p and now my energy bill is under $130.... 95% the same of 1080p energy consumption.
I bought a ps5 for the first time in July, I haven’t played yet because I’m out of my country, I need a monitor, that’s the only thing missing, when I have one I’ll start with uncharted collection 😊
@@MinimalisTech That was the first thing I played when I got myself PS5. You have to get over clunky controls of the first game and enjoy the story of the whole series.

I played on 24 inches when I was younger and tech wasn’t that advanced. It was the standard. But I think times are actually changing. I think 27 inch is the new standard because of 1440p. The new OLED 240/360hz monitors are the best thing you can get. A combination of high refresh rate. Nearly zero response time with oled compared to led. 1440p sharpness and 27 inch is still small enough. IMHO this right here is the new standard and we can finally say goodbye to 1080p. There are OLEDS just announced out that are 480hz 1080p. But these would only be for games like CS, valorant, league that can hit those framerates. If you can’t hit those framerates because you play CoD or apex for example, the 240/360hz are perfect and you get the added benefit of 1440p clarity
that monitor is not a good example of a 1080p monitor you should switch to. you'd be better off just sticking with your 1440p display. if you want a pro reaction monitor you would need to look at 360-500hz 1080p monitors specifically with nvidias new ULMB2 strobing to improve motion clarity
@@poljackph switching from a 1440p 144hz va to a 1440p 240hz oled I noticed a huge difference in csgo due to difference in pixel response time. it feels like I am more directly connected and found I was hitting more shots. better equipment will increase the skill ceiling you are capable of hitting. im currently MGE in csgo
360hz and over is complete overkill. That's literally faster than the human reaction time. you get no advantage out of that and you won't find many games let alone PCs that could run at that many frames... period.
@@NoCluYTit is overkill yes but they do provide an advantage even if only a small one. every competitive shooter I play runs over 500fps. csgo runs at 600, valorant runs at 600, siege is knocking on the door of 400 fps. having the most up to date frame in front of you makes it feel as if your hand is directly connected to the game where as on a normal high refresh monitor it still feels like your connecting to the game from somewhere else. every happens more instantly and you wont notice it until you go up to 360 or 500hz then go back to 144 or whatever. really though my whole point was getting rid of a 1440p monitor for a 165hz 1080p monitor is really stupid if youre “trying to go pro”. at 240hz and below you might as well stick to 1440p as most cards will push 240fps in comp games
I mainly used a 27" 1440p monitor for a bit but had found myself disliking the distance I had to sit to make the 27" comfortable on the eyes was too far for me. The screen just felt too far away. Went back down to 24" 1080p and I won't go back to anything bigger. Games still look great to me.
Interesting but I don't play many competitive esports or at least not often and my 1440p monitor is so much more pretty than 1080p to me. it's 144hz so at least older games can definitely hit high refresh. In fact, if I was at a place where I could get a 4090 and keep up with the top gpu of each generation, I'd consider going 4k 144hz but I'm just not there atm. Edit: Also, when I DO occasionally play a competitive game, 144 fps is enough for me. Maybe I could get a slight edge going to 240 or higher, but I'm not good enough to be at the point where "Every little advantage makes a difference."
as a hardcore Battlefield player i've rediscovered playing on 1080 this year and i have an Asus 1440 monitor, i just change res ingame and it does the job, no need to buy a new display. but it's definitely better moving on lower res.

yeah, I got monitors that stick at fake HDR license's so it's still 1080 most games with solid 120 to 140 Fps if I play my licensed HDR NVidia my GPU and CPU are off hook causing my PC to crash the FPS keeping 90 between 140. so, I understand because the PC isn't the highest end model it doesn't play as good as the console Gene. now if the monitor hooks up on high end PC pixel FPS could end up in 240FPS bounce off 500FPS in full licensed HDR.

My monitor can push thosw limits because of the pc i have. 1440, for me, is the only way. I tried my son's 1080, and it was a massive difference. Night and day. All depends on what you are rocking.

Not a pro gamer, but QHD (1440p) is great for non-professional gaming. The display resolution with good enough FPS makes the experience worth it if money/career is not on the line.
I can see the perks if someone's career/money is on the line, then FHD (1080p) is optimal to reduce lags or other graphical issues.
@@leanlifter1 no kidding. why would I marginalize my overall graphics experience for pretending that I am good enough to be a "pro gamer". bizarre...
The thing is if you have enough money to build a 1440p pc spending less to build a 1080p that will offer you less image quality is dumb. If you can't pay for a pc that can run 1440p smoothly don't do it. I cant i dont go around saying 1080p is better.

No mousepad is a sin.
As a more casual gamer who also likes to watch movies and videos.
A 1440p is the way to go as we get a better quality.
Also with game settings you can manually turn down the quality, therefore having both a 1440p and 1080p monitor in one (to some extent)
Major reason why pros are on 1080p is due tournament equipment that is most of the times 1080p monitors. Ofc you see all info on smaller screen better so you dont get your eyes tired that fast, but if we are not talking about like csgo hardcore pros, most of them would switch to higher res instantly.
Exactly, nobody has said this in other comments. Might as well practice with what you have to use on Lan.
People myself included do it because it’s easier to aim and that’s is every game not just cs can’t hit shit on native even though I’ve been playing shooters for years.
They even set it up with way lower resolution
I moved from a 27" 165Hz 1440p monitor to a 24" 360Hz 1080p monitor for "competitive" purposes and now I game on a 34" 180Hz 1440p monitor and I enjoy the immersion the ultrawide offers the most.
Exactly lol
Yeah idk how people can play on 1080p on a 24 inch unless they're literally shoving their nose in the screen how can you see at far distances if it's all fuzzy and small f that your eyes can't even see an improvement much after 165 hz that's all you need I'll still to my 32 inch curved 1440p it looks better, runs smoother, and is way better than any 1080p
What 24" 360Hz 1080p monitor were you using?
I don't even know if that whole periphery vision is true. More likely that pro gamers are just given 24" at tournaments because it saves space, and so that's how they practice in response. Same reason many play with their keyboard slanted.
I am sure for a pro the difference between which ever is better is a difference of being rank 50 or rank 53.
The response time is the most important thing, a 27inch 1440p monitor also wins if you have a setup where you are a foot further back then normal I would imagine.
With response time cpu gpu and ram overclocking are worth a lot too, playing with ram overclocking I got my DDR5 36 6000 up to 30 6600 and that dropped my system latency from 75ns to 65ns.
One thing i'm quite shocked to learn was fighting games are much more reliant on fast response time & refresh rate compared to FPS games despite their framerate being capped to 60 fps. All for the sake of minimizing input delay. Since their reactions are based on each frame or 16 ms, they really need stable & low input delay.
Pro players read frame data like a bible.
Oh yeah, pro fighting game players are honestly, in my humble view on a whole different level, reaction times are one thing, but these guys strategize their playstyles and complex button input attack patterns based on rendering frame times in their games, and learn it so deeply that they are able to pivot on a dime. Srsly the God-est of gamers in my opinion.
Are you kids? The way you talking as if pro gamers are like so complex.
@@JohnnyRecords well, they are. You probably think fighting game players just input combos and mash buttons. Their whole game is based on how many frames each attack does and how to capitalize or punish any attack from the opponent based on how many frames their attack is active. They even made a new type of input device/controller called "hitbox" to minimize the frames needed to execute a move.
@@MichaelHarto lol Okk. I think you should get some hobbies. Who would have thought gamers use high end devices. Wow. It's not rocket science
@@JohnnyRecords it's not high end device. It's designed for the purpose of performance in fighting games, and you could make your own, & it's not expensive. It's like a new type of controller.
I'm the exact opposite. I went from a screen like what you're describing to a 32" 1440 at 165hz and 1ms response. It substantially improved my performance, and my framerate is never an issue.
Even Ninja & Tfue plays on 1080p but 360Hz yo. 240hz or 360hz at 1920x1080p will help a lot in Fortnite game. also You might be CPU bottleneck at 1080p but you will get the MOST FPS too.
example if you have RTX 4090 at 1080p = you will get over 500+ , 600+ FPS depends on which Games tho, if the game is fully optimized then yeah 400FPS on Fortnite 1080p RTX 4090 easily accomplished but 1080p @ 360hz monitor 🤫 = the more hertz Hz it has the more expensive it will be😬
I have same probably monitor, LG Ultragear 32" right? Cus same specs, 1440p 165hz 1 ms response 😂 But talking about perfomance it eats a lot of fps, I had to upgrade my pc. 💀

I went back to 1080p gaming do to the lack of ultra wide support on many titles, along with countless resolution problems during streaming different titles. 1080p just works.
1440 is unsupported by many games, really? or you mean some unpopular specific resolution
@@delveticas My main problem is aspect ratio support, ultra wide/super wide is very lacking in many games. 21:9, 32:9 Aspect ratios are unsupported in plenty of games. When this aspect ratio isn't supported, you have to lower your resolution to fill in the black bars the game doesn't account for. When you lower your resolution to lower than what your native screen is you run into unique "resolution problems" of their own. Screen tearing, forced full screen, blown up imagines, random display swaps on a multi monitor setups. It's not an issue of high-resolution support. There's is also streaming issues with canvas support for ultra wide aspect ratios. The Ultra Wide Support I find lacking in this day and age. I usually have to go third party mods in order to get even new games working with those aspect ratios. It ends up not being worth it. Going 1080p was a personal choice being I do play some older games that don't support new resolutions.

As someone who used to compete, this is pretty accurate. Most games don't benefit from high resolutions. Even CSGO pros play on even lower resolutions like 1024x768 to both stretch the game and run the game at a higher frame rate. Things like HDR and 4K mean absolutely nothing.

I'm a pro that uses 2k 165hz 27in. It's an older monitor, an upgrade to 240hz would be best. For screen size and resolution, you have to take your sitting distance into account as well -- the further the distance the larger the monitor and higher resolution you want. Curved is good too for improving visibility. I personally don't recommend 1080p. A lot of pros just use what they are used to and what older pros used. Same with stretched aspect ratios, things appear bigger but the movement seems faster as well and your hamper your FOV. It's all preference. As long as you have the hardware to run the game at your native resolution and refresh rate for your game, there's no reason to go 1080p. If your PC can handle 2k 240hz 24in or 4k 240hz 27in, do it.
Very relevant comment. I think it's unanimous that 27" 1440p is a great option. However, I need it to be 24" and not 27" because of space. I'm on the fence about a 24" 1440p monitor (the Samsung S24A600NWN specifically). I happen to be a user of text, graphics and office work (not gaming). My concern is whether it could happen that the size of the text and the size of the letters, as well as the general adjustment of applications, can become too small to the point of difficulty reading. I position myself between 60 and 70 centimeters from the screens. I currently use 3 monitors, all 24" 1080p. So, my concern is: if I add another 24" monitor, but with 1440p, will I suffer with the size of the text when reading? Or could it happen that I like it so much that I want to replace them all for 1440p?

Overstimulation- that’s a super interesting idea. I didn’t know it could happen for a new monitor!
@@KingBuffo It's like a high effect. I remember first staring at a 1440p 244h monitor, just gazing at sheer awe at the screen quality of that bad boy compared to my 1080p screen on my laptop. Once you see, you can't unsee. It's thinking B cups are great, but once you see C cups there's no going back.

I like my 32" 1440p monitor. Sit back, see it all. But when I need to zoom in and look at the details such as sniping, I can push myself into the screen and see no pixels. Best of both worlds.
Never be an adult and say you’re clapping 12yr olds 😂
I've just personally never found myself wanting more than my 144hz 1080p screen, it does the job just fine. It also gives me the benefit of hitting that 144 refresh rate more consistently than friends with 1440p.
U just don't know what ur missing is the reason. I'm 1440p locked at 144hz smooth as glass. Playing 1080 feels like I'm watching vhs
that is a huge exaggeration. I rock both a 1080p monitor and 4k one. The difference from 1080p to 4k is MASSIVE and noticeable. A standard 1080p at 24 inches vs 1440p at 27 inches is not going to produce significantly noticeable results, albeit a slightly higher dpi. Even so, I can still game at 1080p no problem and still enjoy the visual fidelity. @@toddblankenship7164

no mouse pad is crazy
took about a week to get used to getting rid of mine.
Might depend on the surface and type of mouse slider.
I used my desk as mouse pad for years , but then I changed my mouse and really needed to use mouse pad from that point. But it was worth it. Both sensor and also mouse feeling from sliding standpoint got better.
Never used one in over 30 years of PC gaming.
That mouse is so slow, he needs to move his hand half a mile to cross the screen 😂😂😂
No mouse pad - monitor far away - keyboard slightly tilted mouse side... this is devious and yet your still cracked
CPU throttling will actually happen more with a lower resolution, because the more fps you push, the more your cpu has to keep up. Adding quality settings and increasing the resolution will offload some of that to the GPU at the expense of FPS.
Not... how that works O.o
It isn't offloading anything to the GPU by stressing the GPU more. It's just stressing the GPU more to the point where the CPU is still doing the same thing just... within a longer timeframe. Same in reverse, Also known as a bottleneck. You're just picking which one to bottleneck.
And CPU bottlenecks always 'feel' worse, because the CPU controls everything else in the system. Keyboard, mouse, network controllers. 100% CPU usage can do weird ass things to everything and anything.
For anyone that might benefit from a lifetime gamer's advice. Limit your fps, always. That way you have neither a CPU nor GPU bottleneck, it basically minimises stutters and long frame times because neither CPU nor GPU are pegged at 100% when a particularly demanding scene renders.
@@taxa1569 The adaptive sync means you don't have to cap frames anymore with no input lags that come with vsync but all the positives like a stable image with no tearing at any framerate.
Low settings, resolution included, will use my CPU due to it pumping more frames, increases graphics settings can often increase CPU usage with settings like draw distance, or anything increasing the density of objects and AI, and especially ray tracing. If your GPU is asleep then a higher resolution will often no reduce your fps if your CPU can't keep up anyway, and having your fps uncapped with the CPU at it's limit will cause more stutters than letting the GPU stay at 99%. There's too many variables and factors that play in to it for there to be a "be all and end all", and this is what pro players don't understand is that there's always a downside somewhere. You can cap your fps with Rivatuner to like 120fps if your PC was getting 150fps and it should be constant with a flat frame time graph and be smooth, but pros like having uncapped because it has the more "up to date" information, it's just preference.
You literally don't understand how stupid what you are saying is.
Just cap the fps to 3 lower than the monitor hz.
You ain't getting any CPU throttling by trying to push to 277 fps.
There's not enough fpses to stress it that much.
Since I was on a budget I went with a 1080p 24 inch display from ELSA. It's a 180Hz IPS panel. Since this is my first experience with a high refresh rate panel, it's definitely a game changer. I can't go back to lower refresh rates anymore. I got this on sale for under 70 USD which is a very good deal!
In the future hopefully 1440p IPS panels with high refresh rates gets more affordable. My monitor grail is going to be a mini LED 32 inch 1440p monitor with at least a 240Hz refresh rate.
I need to buy
It's certainly dependent on the types of games. For those of us that love story based rpgs, 1440p and even 4k are way way better and preferred because of the graphic quality alone. But yes, back when I was competitive in Dota 2 and SC2 I had a 24' 1080p monitor and it was actually easier on the eyes
"Easier on the eyes" is such bullshit. Higher res is always better, especially if you are looking out for a sniper in FPS as an example.

I remember when 480p came out and it was crazy. These kids will never get to truly appreciate this stuff because it's all they've ever known. But still, gaming was better than the 90s and early 2000s than it is now if you ask me.
I think 27 inch 1440p has more clarity, but it's always down to the opinion of the user. Overall great video!
Not in 1080p. 1440p yes
Having tried a 27" 1440p gaming monitor, it feels like a tradeoff between more clarity for having too much visual space (at least in games). I dream of the day companies will make 25" 1440p high refresh rate monitors, that's where I feel the sweet spot for gaming is.
1080p at 27 inch is disgusting. You need to be more clear with your comment if your talking about 1440p
Agree game on a LG Ultra Oled 1440p 3ms lag response time , absolutely love it especially for cod.
i have 32" 1080p. :(
4:07 wait what 🤔
I've always preferred 1080p and broke my monitor during a recent move so this would be an amazing replacement. I hadn't heard of this company before but looks great, thank you for this video.
1080p on a 24" is like 1440p on a 32". Recently out of curiosity I lowered the resolution on a 32" 1440p 165hz monitor to 1080p. I could litereally see the grains onevery game.
I can imagine those who game on 4k see even more grains when they get to 1440p.
If you're undecided about if it's worth the money I highly suggest you to lift your butt up and test it in rl. Stores offer setups to try the specs out. It's really worth the experience!
I will never go back to 1080p. I play games, I don't "work" them
How cool is that! I just got myself into the Halo universe on the Xbox Series S, I think itll be awesome to experience my new adventures on this monitor at a 120hz and see whats the excitement about 😊
I was throwing down some halo on here this morning. Thanks for watching!
120fps on a gamepad is undetectable. High fps gaming is for use with gaming grade high dpi mouse for fast and smooth panning of the camera which the analogs are to slow and imprecise to accomplish. The analog sticks are not fast enough to get any benefit from more than 60fps and 5ms response time because analog is very very slow.
@@leanlifter1That’s just not true. There’s controllers out there with 1000hz polling rates (1ms) now.
@@ejnfl24 but the analog stick is still analog. The high dpi gaming grade mouse is 1:1 with digital optical lazer inputs not "analog" stick which adds inherent input lag. Thats why competitive fps online games are played with gaming grade mouse and keyboard and not slow input analog stick gamepad.

I went from a cheaper 1440p display to a more expensive 1080P display with gsync compatibilty

I can just basically throw every game on ultra RTX+++ without being bothered my wattage is going to go trough the roof. It's great!
So after watching this advertisement video you posted I went to their website and looked up the exact 24-in monitor you were talking about. Their website doesn't make any sense because it says that the panel is an 8-bit color panel but then it says it has HDR10 support which would mean it would have to be a 10-bit panel. Immediate red flag. It also says they use LG panels so I wouldn't I just buy an LG?
Weird I was considering dropping from 1440 to 1080 and this video pops up lol. You convinced me, I’m gonna try it! Liked and subbed!
I just bought two ASUS 27inch curved 1080 165hz 1ms monitors and almost canceled the order to get 1440p but I don’t think I will now.
The pros playing on 1080p are also doing so on top shelf hardware, so... play at whatever you want.
I have 2 monitors, neither one I’m really all that pleased with. My first one was a 27 in spectre monitor and the other one is an asus tuff 24.5in. Both at 1080p. The image can be blurry at times, so my choices at this point is to either go 1440p or get a smaller 1080p monitor. I’m probably gonna shoot for 1440p but I’m in need of a new gpu first
what you need is to go for native display size. 27-inch 1440p, 23-inch 1080p, 32-inch 4k

@@nolyfe4814 MSI have some pretty good monitors at 1440p 27in, if you dont mind curved monitors that is. It's just a shame they charge so much for newer versions despite the fact that all they really changed was the generation of the DP and HDMI ports. But if you dont mind your max refresh rate being around 165hz you can grab a good panel for around $200 - $250. Bear in mind most MSI monitors have VA panels though, and almost all have noticeable backlight bleed (though only on a fully black screen). Monitor shopping is by far the toughest part of PC gaming.
@@jmac2790really? I didn’t know, I’ll check it when I get the chance.
I actually can see a 32" much better and respond better than if I run a 24. Which is why I went with 27" dual monitors. 1 monitor for the game, and 1 monitor for supporting apps to watch cpu/gpu stats, and inventory apps.
My man is playing with no mouse pad 😭😭
I have the AOC Q24G2A which is one of the few 24 inch high refresh rate IPS 1440p monitors at 165hz. I also don't think size matters as much as people think. You can see some videos of some FPS pros having their monitor less than a foot away from their face while in tournament. It's all really about viewing distance and space on your desk. If you have a 27 inch further away and a 24-inch closer, they'll be equivalent size from your perspective. The advantage of 1440p is you can actually have more detail on small objects and enemies far away. The disadvantage is it's harder to run if you have a bad GPU. But if you have anything recent. In Most FPS games where it matters, you can easily get 400-500 FPS at 1440p. Personally, the one disadvantage of this monitor I got is actually the size and scaling. By default, 1440p defaults to 125% scaling on Windows without you changing anything. But I actually have this monitor closer to my face now than any other 1080p 24-inch monitor I've had it in the past. And stuff is still slightly too small such as text some sites. I'm not also sure if scaling applies to games as much as it does to applications like chrome, as some chats in games seem extremely small even with their chat size at max. Also, 150% scaling (the next size up) is too big imo, while 125% is a tad too small, if you could set a custom size inbetween this would be less of an issue. I also don't really think the higher PPI as a result of 1440p on 24 inch is that great. As I said, I move the monitor closer to me on my desk, making it sort of meaningless. It's still higher PPI than a 1080p 24 inch or 1080p 27 inch at equivalent viewing distance. But really it's too small to benefit from the PPI in a meaningful way. The advantages of a 27 inch 1440p would be that it's slightly higher PPI than a 24 inch 1080p at the same distance. But the bigger advantage is that everything is bigger and therefore actually clearer. A crisp, tiny UA-cam icon is worthless. Same way, a crisp tiny enemy is worthless. This is why pros often are so close to their monitor, imo.
I kept watching waiting for the commercial to end.
I think It'll also be fair to mention that the distance between you and your monitor does matter as well. Not only that, curved monitor is a huge step up even at 24". It is much more comfortable, viewing angles are better, your eyes strain less etc. Speaking from experience. Now, I don't have a crazy good rig, since I just can't afford to build a high end or even a mid tier gaming pc, so I opted for NucX-i7. Thunderbolt dock for cleaner set up, switched my flat 24" regular ass monitor to a 144hz 23.8" curved monitor and it feels exponentially better. I do have a VESA arm, and I tend to move my monitor a bit closer to me when I'm playing games. Had a 27" monitor at work (not for gaming purposes, obviously) and my eyes start to hurt fairly quickly. Maybe it's also a matter of habit and personal preference.
Curved monitor is mostly gimmick and they will usually be TA panels which have terrible response time even if they advertise 1ms
Clapping 12 years olds is crazy
1080p pretty much nearly halves the work the GPU needs to meaning very large improvements in frames, not only are they cheaper than 1440p monitors as well but you can also get higher quality displays (better golour gamut/contrast ratios), and if you wanted that with 1440p you would need to pay a very large amount of money
😅50€ de plus et c'est mieux de jouer sur un écran 1440p en 1080p que sur un écran 1080p
Most of 1080p monitors nowadays are budget products or if they are more expensive then they are full gaming monitors. So most of those monitors will be without wide gamut and even if having wide gamut, they will have some color reproduction problems and etc. 1440p monitors are mostly done with wide color gamut and they trying more to adjust them and put better panels because higher budget on all around product still for gaming. Nowadays u don't need to spend a lot to buy good 1440p monitor. It's not 2020.
I love it that we are both using the same desktop background 😂 I wanted to get a new monitor so looking for reviews and this was the first one that came up 🎉

The fact that people want to go back to 1080p shows PC gaming is getting so demanding that things are moving backwards.
Not only that. Also power consumption increases a lot with high end graphics. Today's standard is often like 300 watts only for the graphics card. An ecological nightmare. The gaming industry totally sucks in developing clever techniques to push more efficiency (which isn't always power) out of standard hardware. AI improvements like DLSS can do this, but it's not implemented in every game sad to say.
@@Butziwackel my energy bill gaming for 5 hrs on a 4k monitor was over $300 and this was 3 years ago. Went back to 1440p and now my energy bill is under $130.... 95% the same of 1080p energy consumption.

1440p is the sweet spot and perfect blend of image quality and performance.
I played on 24 inches when I was younger and tech wasn’t that advanced. It was the standard. But I think times are actually changing. I think 27 inch is the new standard because of 1440p. The new OLED 240/360hz monitors are the best thing you can get. A combination of high refresh rate. Nearly zero response time with oled compared to led. 1440p sharpness and 27 inch is still small enough. IMHO this right here is the new standard and we can finally say goodbye to 1080p. There are OLEDS just announced out that are 480hz 1080p. But these would only be for games like CS, valorant, league that can hit those framerates. If you can’t hit those framerates because you play CoD or apex for example, the 240/360hz are perfect and you get the added benefit of 1440p clarity
that monitor is not a good example of a 1080p monitor you should switch to. you'd be better off just sticking with your 1440p display. if you want a pro reaction monitor you would need to look at 360-500hz 1080p monitors specifically with nvidias new ULMB2 strobing to improve motion clarity

360hz and over is complete overkill. That's literally faster than the human reaction time. you get no advantage out of that and you won't find many games let alone PCs that could run at that many frames... period.
@@NoCluYTit is overkill yes but they do provide an advantage even if only a small one. every competitive shooter I play runs over 500fps. csgo runs at 600, valorant runs at 600, siege is knocking on the door of 400 fps. having the most up to date frame in front of you makes it feel as if your hand is directly connected to the game where as on a normal high refresh monitor it still feels like your connecting to the game from somewhere else. every happens more instantly and you wont notice it until you go up to 360 or 500hz then go back to 144 or whatever. really though my whole point was getting rid of a 1440p monitor for a 165hz 1080p monitor is really stupid if youre “trying to go pro”. at 240hz and below you might as well stick to 1440p as most cards will push 240fps in comp games
My laptop has 3050 ti tho can it still run good at medium settings?
I mainly used a 27" 1440p monitor for a bit but had found myself disliking the distance I had to sit to make the 27" comfortable on the eyes was too far for me.
The screen just felt too far away. Went back down to 24" 1080p and I won't go back to anything bigger. Games still look great to me.
That does not make any sense. Adjust screen scaling and that's it.
Interesting but I don't play many competitive esports or at least not often and my 1440p monitor is so much more pretty than 1080p to me. it's 144hz so at least older games can definitely hit high refresh. In fact, if I was at a place where I could get a 4090 and keep up with the top gpu of each generation, I'd consider going 4k 144hz but I'm just not there atm.
Edit: Also, when I DO occasionally play a competitive game, 144 fps is enough for me. Maybe I could get a slight edge going to 240 or higher, but I'm not good enough to be at the point where "Every little advantage makes a difference."

yeah, I got monitors that stick at fake HDR license's so it's still 1080 most games with solid 120 to 140 Fps if I play my licensed HDR NVidia my GPU and CPU are off hook causing my PC
to crash the FPS keeping 90 between 140.

now if the monitor hooks up on high end PC pixel FPS could end up in 240FPS bounce off 500FPS in full licensed HDR.
