Good evening. What is your opinion on 2k monitors, specifically paired with a 1080p capable system?
I have received mixed answers on the subject, various sites and people claiming that downscaled results will be horrible while others claim that 1080p on a 2k monitor looks just fine.
What is your take in this matter?

by 2k are you referring to 2560x1440p, or are you referring to the DCI 2k standard res of 2048x1080?

Well they are idiots.
Screen that small, it isn't going to matter.
You'd need something like a movie theatre screen to matter.

Forgive me for not clarifiyng, i'm reffering to 2560x1440p

I see, good to know
Cooper Robinson
why even have 1440p then

Watching 1080p content on a 1440p monitor means you're upscaling, not downscaling. Video content will look acceptable, but a bit fuzzier than native. Games will look quite bad (unless they have excellent TAA and other tricks).
You might have meant downscaling 4K content to your 1440p screen. This will look fine, and certainly better than 1080p. Still only half the pixels of actual 4K though.

2k is 1080p you retard.
its gets confusing when its 1k thou no one really knows what 1k is might be like the vita resolution of 680p or some thing. its less than 720p if you go by the same metric.
Grayson Gomez
that's not 2k you retard. cinimas have 2k projectors they are 1080p

I meant upscaling from 1080p to 2k, my bad for making the typo.
