Is 1440p the most mediocre resolution ever?

Is 1440p the most mediocre resolution ever?

You don't get the benefits of 4k (high detail level) nor the benefits of 1080p (high framerate).

You are just a middle ground resolution that can't exceed at anything.

1440p is the jack of all trades of resolutions.

    Why post a retarded opinion that's blatantly wrong? 1440p is the smoothest most accessible high resolution out that doesn't require ai frame gimmicks
    I don't use it because I still have no problems with 720p on my desktop but you're retarded if you think 1440p is bad

      FPBP.

      1440p still is at that sweetspot where you can still get high refresh rate gaming with a relatively modest GPU compared to 4k, while simultaneously not getting fucked quite as much as 1080p by the inherent blurriness that comes from deferred rendering and TAA that most modern games rely on.

    4k is the most mediocre resolution ever
    No real benefit over 1440p
    Negative frame rate unless emulating
    Not high enough resolution to simulate a CRT's mask
    Most likely has no real HDR

        Earth. Jack of all trades means it dabbles a bit in everything. The whole phrase is "jack of all trades, master of none" basically meaning something or someone is relatively competent in all areas while excelling at nothing in particular. There's absolutely nothing negative about that phrase.

    Do you know how pixel density works? Unless your monitor is bigger than 32 inch 4K is a complete waste of resources since you won't see a difference between the 2 anyway.

      on a 32" monitor, you'd have to sit over 4ft away from your screen to be unable to tell the difference between 4k and 1440p, far more than the usual viewing distance on a standard PC desk setup

    1440p is a budget stop-gap on the quest to affordable high refresh rate 4k displays.

    I'm going to wait a year or 2 before 4k displays with high refresh rates finally drop to sub $200 before buying one.

      And then you have to wait just another mere decade before GPUs could use these refresh rates. Genius.

    1440p is still expensive meanwhile 1080p has remained in the same range for 15 years. Either make 1440p cheaper or I'm not upgrading.

    1440p is trash because it can't display 1080p or 4k without scaling issues. It's a video gaming resolution only and for that very reason it's shit.

    I've been using 1440p for years, I don't want to go 4k because honestly I doubt its worth it, also outside of gaming with 4k you need to enable UI scaling on everything else. At 1440p I don't have to enable ui scaling and my games look fine. Personally I can't go back to 1080p gaming at that resolution might be fine, but I would miss the extra space on the monitor especially when programming.

      8k is the most optimal for playing real games since it lets you simulate a crt as long as you have the proper panel with it

          But it doesn't matter? Like, at all. It could theoretically output 1000fps, yet you would still be playing on 30 fps since no videocard on this planet could run AAA schlock faster.
