@@TriWaZe friend, your comment helped me a lot! I spent days trying to find out about this aspect. It helped me make a better decision on which monitor to buy. Apparently, I'm going to forget about 1440p and go with 24" 1080p as you recommended. Thanks for your comment.
So what's the fix? I thought with a 1440p monitor you just have the ability to do both 1080 and 1440 cleanly this some bullshit. how does more pixels turn into worse quality
1080p does not fit 1440p because the pixels are not even. Solution is to change internal render resolution in the game using a % slider or using upscalers like dlss and fsr. Its alot less blurry than changing the monitor resolution.
yeah i noticed in a game that some details will alternate between being represented by 1 or 2 pixels so they kinda look like they get bigger and smaller as you turn
Just bought my first 1440p monitor to replace my 1080p monitor, and this answered the one main question I had. When I have to drop the resolution, I'll just turn on FSR to AI upscale the 1080p image to 1440p native and Bob's your uncle.
Ok, so if i buy the 1440p monitor, and play warzone in 1080p, i have to enable the DLSS or FSR, and that's is ok for playing? I have a RTX 4060 + Ryzen 7 5700x
it's a matter of pixels per inch or ppi, a 1080p resolution is best suited for a 24 inch monitor, 1440p resolution on 27 inch(can also be in 32 inch, but it's just better on 27 inch) at the end of the day, it's a matter of subjectivity, some might not have much of an issue with less ppi while some can be more sensitive to it
How about upscaling to 1440p resolution on a 1080p monitor? I think that's even more interesting. What's the effect? Better or worse visuals than at 1080p resolution?
Just make your active resolution 1080p, not 1440p, because windows by default downscales active native resolution (1440p) to a lower resolution (1080p) and the gpu driver add some mask to make it look "good" but it looks worse, some times too sharp , with high contrast and too pixelated. Just changing the active resolution to the lower one will make the image soft and less pixelated. To change active resolution go to "advanced display setting", click on "Display adapter properties" and click "List All Modes". Now select a 1080p with the Hz of your monitor and it will look better (on some 1440p 144/165hz monitors native Refresh rate dont work on lower resolutions, so you need to lower the refresh rate) If the native resolution doens´t change, go to your GPU settings software and disable GPU Scaling, now go to your monitor and change aspect ratio to one you like and sharpness. Don´t forget to adjust ClearType on windows.

Im having an issue where my pc thinks my monitor is 4k, when its a 1080p panel. When ran in 1080p, it makes eveything either blury or overly sharp. Everything just looks off.
Only a bad high resolution panel will show off lower resolutions in that blurry way. 720p should not be blurry it should be pixilated for example. Cheap display monitors are like you say but its not reference, so don’t misinform the community 😊
I’m thinking about getting a 1440p monitor but I’m not 100 if my pc can run it. I’m working with a 1070ti and a ryzen 5 1600. If not I’ll just get another monitor and wait till I get a new pc.
Depends on the games and settings you apply. 1070ti should be fine at 1440p and will run atleast 60+ fps. You should also use FSR for the fps boost with very little image quality loss
Yeah 1080p on a 1440p monitor is pretty bad it just looks really ugly and it’s instantly noticeable. To anyone thinking of getting a 1440p make sure you have a pretty decent computer if you want to have a good experience with 1440p.

Nice video! I gotta question tho. I want a 4k monitor for programming but a 1080p monitor for gaming, ik that 4k is just 1080p but scaled up, but will it have any major motion blur or anything? Thx!
Hi INaneek, motion blur and other properties of the display are not directly related to the output resolution. For example, majority of the non OLED panels perform worse than the OLED version as it is improved technology regardless of output resolution. So you want to just find the 1080p monitor that gives the best price to performance for gaming. I hope that helps.
@@DoubleTakeTechUk yeah I think that makes sense, I have a 1080p monitor tho currently but Id like a 4k monitor for programming so the text is more clear, so I’m willing to spend a little extra for 4k so my question is more will a 4k monitor displaying 1080p look any worse than a “normal” 1080p monitor.

Hi Dr! Depends on your use case and refresh rate target. If you want to play games at 120hz, you would probably only manage 1440p on games like fifa22 or fortnite. Just keep in mind a lot of games would struggle to hit 60fps with the mobile Rtx3060 graphics card. If you want my opinion, I would suggest stick with a higher refresh rate 1080p monitor if its specifically for gaming. You can always search for benchmarks on your specific use case on google 👍
I have a gtx 1650 laptop and only play cs go.. I have a ps5 as well and im looking to buy a New monitor. Should i go for a 1440p 144hz va pr 1080p 144hz ips??. I was thinking 1440p for ps5 gaming and then i could put the resolution down when playing cs go?
So it would be difficult to recommend ips vs va without knowing the monitors. For example, everyone says ips is the best for several specs but in 1440p world, the samsung G7 VA panel has been one of the best monitors. As far as your situation is, It depends a lot on your personal preference but if I was im your exact situation, I would probably go with 1440p as you can still utilise the higher resolution for enjoying general computing too. Also, would be a shame with a PS5 to not be utilising 1440p at the least.
@@DoubleTakeTechUkI have the Samsung g7 hooked up to my 3070 and I would have to say its probably one of the best 1440p 240hz monitors around. It dosent look amazing at 1080p? But it really depends on the game imo. For example I recently got gta5 in a sale for modding, and it looks pretty good at 1080p. Then a game like doom eternal or red dead 2 look grainy and soft at 1080p.
Use DLSS quality @ 1440p native and thank me later. You get pretty much 1080p fps then A.I upscales it back to 1440p and much better quality then what's being told in this video by far
so i can buy a 1440p monitor for a future upgrade of pc, but now use it with my laptop at 1080p and run high fps games valorant or csgo and it will be sharp?
Hi Asfi. The monitor is 27inches. In my opinion, 24inch 1080p is good as its difficult to see the extra pixels on 1440p at that size. There is a difference but something you would only notice on monitors side by side displaying the same images/video.
@@DoubleTakeTechUkFor those who work with reading texts, graphics and browsing the internet, could a 24 inch 1440p display cause difficulties? I think it would be necessary to change the scale of the operating system, but it seems to me that this is not a good solution as they say that some programs do not know how to deal with scaling.
Why cpu is more important at lower resolution? isn't it the same just on higher res need better gpu cuz the number of pixels... everyone said in higher res cpu doesn't play big role...isnt it the same for cpu?
Will there be a difference on a laptop at 15.6 inches? If I change the resolution from QHD to full HD. Because such a laptop screen is much smaller than that of a monitor
I think you would be better off using a 4k monitor to game at 1080p given that the scaling divides directly in half and you wouldn't be dividing by 1.5
@@Lucas_0913 divide 1440 by 1080. 1.33333 that is not an even number. When you are down scaling something and it comes out to an even number the scaling comes out cleaner. 2160 ÷ 1080 = 2 3840 ÷ 1920 = 2. This means that when you are down scaling two pixels become one rather than 1.33 pixels become one that is an uneven division and therefore not as cleanly scaled.
thats kind of not smart, you should wait and prioritize the pc first then worry about the monitor, since you might find better deals and newer ones might have newer tech n stuff
old school non widescreen monitors never had notable blur issues when upscaling, why would a modern monitor.. an nvidia or amd driver issue, IPS screen tech or sole monitor model issue?
I think there are many contribution factors to this, here are some which I believe may contribute: 1 - Lower resolution even when upscaled - We weren't use to seeing 4k quality everywhere around us. 2 - Generally smaller screen sizes so less noticeable - the larger the screen, the sharper the image needs to be to remove blurry'ness 3 - Some of the built in upscaling in monitors increases input lag so not preferred for higher response time monitors, hence a worse image output when scale does not match native resolution. I am sure there are other factors too but those are some that I can think of. Thanks for the comment! 👍
It is because old school non-widescreen monitors used a different technology called CRT. CRT can adjust resolution on the fly without worrying about "native" resolution. LCD technology on the other hand makes everything look soft and blurry if the number of pixels do not match the LCD pixels perfectly.
@@andrewlim6329 I noticed that with some reviews of monitors, they zoom in on the pixels to show just a select few. Some LCD monitors show them more accurately than others. I suppose the only way around blurriness is a filter of some kind. Dvds look terrible on a large monitor too,and I don't think any software upscales without conversion, but that's a slightly different matter
@@KnightmareUSA you want an integer scaling resolution to avoid blurriness, for example displaying 1080p on a 4k monitor would not have blurriness because 4k (2160p) is exactly 2x 1080p vertical.

@@deheimer Yeah the downsample will be divided unevenly as 1:1:3 therefore will seem grainy and blurry. Not too bothersome on a small size screen, but still noticable.

@@n2o2co2h2o Hey. No it didn’t work well when I was using it. Even with messing with the settings Windows gives you to circumvent it. Also you can’t set one monitor to use one setting and another to use a different setting, so if you have a 1080 and a 1440p at the same time it’s an absolute nightmare. I ended up just sellin the 1440p off and buyin a 360hz IPS 1080p monitor and forgetting about it
@@TriWaZe friend, your comment helped me a lot! I spent days trying to find out about this aspect. It helped me make a better decision on which monitor to buy. Apparently, I'm going to forget about 1440p and go with 24" 1080p as you recommended. Thanks for your comment.
Try an 18 inch 1440p monitor?
So what's the fix? I thought with a 1440p monitor you just have the ability to do both 1080 and 1440 cleanly this some bullshit. how does more pixels turn into worse quality
1080p does not fit 1440p because the pixels are not even.
Solution is to change internal render resolution in the game using a % slider or using upscalers like dlss and fsr.
Its alot less blurry than changing the monitor resolution.
Native 1080p monitor looks better than 1080p on a 2k monitor..i have tested it on 3 diferent devices.
As it should lol
yeah i noticed in a game that some details will alternate between being represented by 1 or 2 pixels so they kinda look like they get bigger and smaller as you turn

So is it better to have the in-game resolution set to 1440p, but scaling down to 56.25%? (This is 1920x1080/(2560x1440) * 100% )
scaling looks gross
the issue with that is its more work on the gpu. 1440 with dlss on scaled to 1080p will have less fps than native 1080p
it's a matter of pixels per inch or ppi, a 1080p resolution is best suited for a 24 inch monitor, 1440p resolution on 27 inch(can also be in 32 inch, but it's just better on 27 inch) at the end of the day, it's a matter of subjectivity, some might not have much of an issue with less ppi while some can be more sensitive to it

just increase sharpness in monitor settings or nvidia settings
How do I switch to? 1080p on a 1440p monitor.
Just make your active resolution 1080p, not 1440p, because windows by default downscales active native resolution (1440p) to a lower resolution (1080p) and the gpu driver add some mask to make it look "good" but it looks worse, some times too sharp , with high contrast and too pixelated. Just changing the active resolution to the lower one will make the image soft and less pixelated.
To change active resolution go to "advanced display setting", click on "Display adapter properties" and click "List All Modes". Now select a 1080p with the Hz of your monitor and it will look better (on some 1440p 144/165hz monitors native Refresh rate dont work on lower resolutions, so you need to lower the refresh rate) If the native resolution doens´t change, go to your GPU settings software and disable GPU Scaling, now go to your monitor and change aspect ratio to one you like and sharpness.
Don´t forget to adjust ClearType on windows.

You need to go through all the possible settings on you PC. Look in to scaling and resolutions.
stop using youtube shorts to set up your computer, go check some reputable people like hardware unboxed, gamers nexus..
I just call it built in anti aliasing
You didn't mention the size of the monitor which is a very important factor..
Only a bad high resolution panel will show off lower resolutions in that blurry way. 720p should not be blurry it should be pixilated for example. Cheap display monitors are like you say but its not reference, so don’t misinform the community 😊
thanks it makes it way better now
I’m thinking about getting a 1440p monitor but I’m not 100 if my pc can run it. I’m working with a 1070ti and a ryzen 5 1600. If not I’ll just get another monitor and wait till I get a new pc.
Depends on the games and settings you apply. 1070ti should be fine at 1440p and will run atleast 60+ fps. You should also use FSR for the fps boost with very little image quality loss
So if I want to game in 1440p buy a 1440p monitor?
Yeah 1080p on a 1440p monitor is pretty bad it just looks really ugly and it’s instantly noticeable.
To anyone thinking of getting a 1440p make sure you have a pretty decent computer if you want to have a good experience with 1440p.

Hi INaneek, motion blur and other properties of the display are not directly related to the output resolution. For example, majority of the non OLED panels perform worse than the OLED version as it is improved technology regardless of output resolution.
So you want to just find the 1080p monitor that gives the best price to performance for gaming. I hope that helps.

Just use lossess scaling . Its plrolly the only option without dlss directly
I think the real question is. If you used 1080p on a 1440p monitor would it just be the same experience as using a 1080p monitor at 1080p
Would running it in windowed mode also work instead of disabling scaling?
If the transition was seamless then all you have to do is buy a 4k resolution monitor which makes all other monitors with lower resolution OBSOLETE and that’s not good for the company. Thx for this video my decision was riding on this one factor
Or just use 1080p with gpu scaling. Basically fsr/dlss before it was cool.

I have 3060 as graphic card in my laptop, 1440p monitor would be fine right?
Hi Dr! Depends on your use case and refresh rate target. If you want to play games at 120hz, you would probably only manage 1440p on games like fifa22 or fortnite.
Just keep in mind a lot of games would struggle to hit 60fps with the mobile Rtx3060 graphics card.
If you want my opinion, I would suggest stick with a higher refresh rate 1080p monitor if its specifically for gaming.
You can always search for benchmarks on your specific use case on google 👍
And how about the scenario of using a 1080p video / game on a 4k tv...
Tvs try and upscale your image. Also, not ideal for gaming as the response time is normally subpar unless using one of the latest OLED TVs.
Will the results be better if it was an Oled?
I have a gtx 1650 laptop and only play cs go.. I have a ps5 as well and im looking to buy a New monitor. Should i go for a 1440p 144hz va pr 1080p 144hz ips??. I was thinking 1440p for ps5 gaming and then i could put the resolution down when playing cs go?
So it would be difficult to recommend ips vs va without knowing the monitors. For example, everyone says ips is the best for several specs but in 1440p world, the samsung G7 VA panel has been one of the best monitors.
As far as your situation is, It depends a lot on your personal preference but if I was im your exact situation, I would probably go with 1440p as you can still utilise the higher resolution for enjoying general computing too. Also, would be a shame with a PS5 to not be utilising 1440p at the least.
@@DoubleTakeTechUkI have the Samsung g7 hooked up to my 3070 and I would have to say its probably one of the best 1440p 240hz monitors around. It dosent look amazing at 1080p? But it really depends on the game imo. For example I recently got gta5 in a sale for modding, and it looks pretty good at 1080p. Then a game like doom eternal or red dead 2 look grainy and soft at 1080p.
Its bc of pixel density, the closer all the pixels all the sharper the image should be. 1080p with a 24-27" display should be really good. 😈

Significant, probably not. Not at the smaller size the monitor is displaying anyway.

Hi Asfi. The monitor is 27inches.

I once tried it and 1080p on a 1440p monitor looks like shit. Don't do it.
I think you would be better off using a 4k monitor to game at 1080p given that the scaling divides directly in half and you wouldn't be dividing by 1.5
What the hell are you talking about
@@Lucas_0913 divide 1440 by 1080. 1.33333 that is not an even number. When you are down scaling something and it comes out to an even number the scaling comes out cleaner. 2160 ÷ 1080 = 2
3840 ÷ 1920 = 2. This means that when you are down scaling two pixels become one rather than 1.33 pixels become one that is an uneven division and therefore not as cleanly scaled.
Indeed, floor here is made of floor
I have a Geforce GTX 16series. Could I get a 1440p monitor but run it on 1080p until I upgrade?
1080p
Depends on how long you plan to take to upgrade. For gaming, it will not be enough but for general use, it should be fine.
thats kind of not smart, you should wait and prioritize the pc first then worry about the monitor, since you might find better deals and newer ones might have newer tech n stuff
old school non widescreen monitors never had notable blur issues when upscaling, why would a modern monitor.. an nvidia or amd driver issue, IPS screen tech or sole monitor model issue?
I think there are many contribution factors to this, here are some which I believe may contribute:
1 - Lower resolution even when upscaled - We weren't use to seeing 4k quality everywhere around us.
2 - Generally smaller screen sizes so less noticeable - the larger the screen, the sharper the image needs to be to remove blurry'ness
3 - Some of the built in upscaling in monitors increases input lag so not preferred for higher response time monitors, hence a worse image output when scale does not match native resolution.
I am sure there are other factors too but those are some that I can think of.
Thanks for the comment! 👍
It is because old school non-widescreen monitors used a different technology called CRT. CRT can adjust resolution on the fly without worrying about "native" resolution. LCD technology on the other hand makes everything look soft and blurry if the number of pixels do not match the LCD pixels perfectly.
@@andrewlim6329 I noticed that with some reviews of monitors, they zoom in on the pixels to show just a select few. Some LCD monitors show them more accurately than others. I suppose the only way around blurriness is a filter of some kind. Dvds look terrible on a large monitor too,and I don't think any software upscales without conversion, but that's a slightly different matter
@@KnightmareUSA you want an integer scaling resolution to avoid blurriness, for example displaying 1080p on a 4k monitor would not have blurriness because 4k (2160p) is exactly 2x 1080p vertical. The reason why 1080p appears blurry on 1440p is because the pixels cannot match exactly, because 1440p is 1.333333_ x 1080p vertical
