The constant push by the industry for Full HD being the defacto superior resolution during the early to mid 2000's made it so every other resolution would be based on it, naming and resolution-wise.
Everything these days is just a meaningless buzzword. Like gamers using the term "4K textures" and then extrapolating it to say shit like "144p textures" because they don't know what those terms actually mean.
The upside is most modern GPUs (including integrated graphics) let you do integer scaling with nearest neighbour now.
This lets 4K displays display 1080p and 720p just like native resolution.
I do this with my work laptop because it can't manage 4K, so I set it to 1080p for both displays.
320x240
Resolutions are for nerds who sit 1 inch from the screen
I play games in 720p still
just use whatever res is native and it'll look fine.
gaming is best in 19:10 or 4:3
>upgrade my 24" 1080p screen to a 24" 4K screen
>it's the same size
have I been scammed?
Higher pixel density does make a difference unless you're a blind fricker.
did you count the pixels?
could be that you are missing some
>buy new graphics card.
>monitor expanded twice is size right out of the gate
skill issue
was the monitor size a secret to you when you bought it?
FHD. you don't need anymore for a monitor.
Imagine being that guy who bought an 8K TV
I did. It was great. It ai upscaled 1080p to look as good as 4k videos.
Games which ran well like Forza Horizon looked fantastic.
Shame it blew up.
FHD
who decided all these D names instead of just calling it by the res pixel number?

well your image is certainly accurate with 1080p being blurry
4:3
How come there's no intermediate size between 1440p and 4k
There's QHD
1440p is already the intermediate size
4K is godlike for normie desktop use and youtube but you need a powerful GPU for video games.

4K.
Anyone saying less is coping.
240p or frick off
1080p for gaming
5k for everything else
1440p@120fps
this is currently the best
the 4090 can't do 4k/120fps that well so it's not worth it
480x272
It's best at 16k. Beyond that there's no real tangible benefit.
1080p for 24" 1440p for 27" and uhd for bigger than that.
640x480 16 colors, as God intended
