1080p on a 1440p Monitor: Does It Look Bad?

Поділитися

  • After many questions on our videos of the Samsung's G7 gaming monitor and LGs Ultra Gear 27GP850 regarding 1080p gaming on 1440p monitor, here is a quick comparison of what you can expect.
    Technically, you could use a 1440p monitor to game at 1080p but you would either have to settle for a bit of a blurry image or a smaller sized image being displayed.
    Should you use 1080p on a 1440p monitor? Well, you can decide on that.
    Some console players would be experiencing the same "blurry'ness" described in this video as the consoles cannot display at 1440p.

      No it wouldn't look bad on the same size monitor that has max resolution 1080p fullHD. Imagine 480p or less on a CRT TV and the same on 1080p monitor, or worse, a 4K tv. Take a look at older games when connected to any modern tv using composite. They stay at their resolution but the tv is capable of showing more so it shows you how ugly it is, and still has black bars around. The same is happening here in the video.
      If you are like me, looking for a big fullHD TV for a 1080p console, don't you ever go for an qledoledmaxpro 4k uhd tv because it will be shit

      Look at scale integers. 2560x1440 is 4 times 1280x720p so 720p on 1440p monitor will look less blurry compared to 1080p. As the same, 3840x2160 is 4 times 1080p so 1080p will look fine at 4k monitor while looking blurry at 1440p and the list goes on.

      Yes it will be 1080p but the monitor is still 1440p so the 1080p pixels are stretched. Casual gamers like me don't notice cause I'm never up to date with tech, still rocking a gtx 1070.

      1080p on 27'' native 1080p monitor looks good. 1440p on 27'' native 1440p looks sharp, clearly better than native 1080p. BUT, 1080p on 1440p native monitor looks absolutely trash. It even looks trash on 16'' 1440p native monitor. Don't buy 1440p or 4K if your GPU can't push required frames because playing on FULL HD on a QUAD HD laptop/monitor is not a pleasing experience.

      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.

      Hi Abbi, that depends on what you intend to do with it, and what version of the graphics card you have. You should be able to display 1440p at 60Hz no problem for normal use. However, as soon as you start playing games, the output to the monitor would depend on your graphics cards performance.

      1. Turn down the brightness
      2. Turn off HDR
      3. Use highest available refresh rate
      4. Try adjusting the colours towards the 'warm spectrum' (reduce blue, increase red)
      5. Wear special blue light filter glasses
      6. Don't use in a completely dark room, have a soft light behind the screen or on the wall you are facing
      7. Don't sit too close to the monitor, have enough distance that you don't have to constantly move your eyes to see each corner. Also try to move your head rather than just eyes when looking in different directions.
      I hope these tips do help.

    • @DoubleTakeTechUk
      @DoubleTakeTechUk  Рік тому +5

      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 👍

      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.

    Sharpness / Blurry experience depends on your hardware and the particular monitor. As does how this subjective image looks on your particular screen. For example, on my screen right now, the 1440 is CLEARLY clearer than that of the 1080p. the edges of the black and white on the "Shoe" looking thing with the circular effects... super defined on the right, barely see the black in between the white on the left.

    As someone who recently upgraded from a 1080p 24 inch to a 1440p 24 inch, I am massively unimpressed with the quality difference. Even watching raw 1440p footage I shot, I am hard pressed to see any difference between the two. Albeit I have my 1080 set on +8 sharpening which most definitely tightens the gap, but I have always used that setting and completely forgot it was even on.
    And mind you the 1440p being 24 inches should be extra sharp cause of the tightly packed pixels. Add on top of that, 1440p as a resolution is tiny and requires a 125% scale which just makes half my programs look like trash. So imo outside of the benefit of higher res for games, anything over 1080 is useless and will only make your life more miserable until Windows does a better job at scaling.

    • @DoubleTakeTechUk
      @DoubleTakeTechUk  Рік тому +1

      Hi Jake, interesting experience thanks for sharing.
      I would say, a rule of thumb for me is 24inch 1080p max, 27inch 1440p max, 32 4k max resolution. You would not be able to perceive the improvements of higher resolution at 24inch between 1080p and 4k. Obviously this also depends on the distance from the monitor, the further away you sit from the monitor, the harder it is to tell the difference but these resolutions between 24 inch to 32 inch are valid for an average distance of an arms length (60-80cm).

It needs to be 24 inches. I'm undecided between a 1440p and a 1080p. I read texts, graphics and browse the internet. I imagine that if it is 1440p I will need to adjust the scale. Have you had this experience? does the scale adjustment on 24 inch 1440p not work well? Some programs work poorly with this and the operating system (Windows and Linux) does not know how to deal with scaling 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.
