Is 1440p worth it or a meme ?

Just get a 1440p@144hz monitor with a good freesync range. You'll probably end up getting a new card before you replace the monitor.

It's pretty self explanatory. Higher refresh rates result in less motion blur when moving things around, and strobed backlight makes it even less.

it's pretty great desu, 1080p looks like VGA resolution now

1440p monitor is the best purchase I’ve made in a long time.

I'm considering a 1440p monitor, but kinda afraid about most of the content being in 1080p. I've heard the scaling sucks.

only if your media is encoded at potato bits per second and/or your OS' visual basic gooey scaling is shit i.e. you're running windows 7/autism

With the pixel density being what it is, you hardly notice it. I did autistic levels of A/B testing using anime at 720p and 1080p and the results are minimal if you aren't autistic. Fancy upscaling on quality 720p content looks slightly better than upscaled 1080p, but once you start looking at live action stuff the scaling issues go away.
Now plugging in a game console is a different story. The Switch looks blurry no matter what. Anything locked to 720p or 1080p is ass compared to a native 1440p signal.

use mpv and good upscaler/shader ;^)

1440p will be blunder of the century. Most contents are optimized for 1080p and 4k is shilled to be the next standard. Basically the middle child of history.

>Fancy upscaling on quality 720p content looks slightly better than upscaled 1080p
Compared to garbage upscaling for 1080p or what? Otherwise what you're saying makes absolutely no sense, you're not going to get a worse result by starting from a better quality source unless some serious fuckup occurs along the way somewhere.

>anime
>quality content
LOL dude. just LOL

I did most of my testing using UTW's Carnival Phantasm releases in 720p and 1080p. For a player I used mpv. 720p got upscaled using ravu-r4-yuv and 1080p got ewa_lanczosharp. ravu only does resolution doubling and I'm too much of a brainlet to figure out how to upscale to 2160p and back down to 1440p, so I can't using a nice upscaler on 1080p content. The rest of my options follow I am Scum's blog post on MPV configs for anime.

Well yeah 4K is obviously the way of the future, and if you want to watch movies you either get 1080p if you're on a budget or 4K if you want the best. 1440p is a stepping stone between them for gaming, and exists primarily because high framerate 4K monitors are ungodly expensive and you need dual GPUs to get high framerates on them at high settings.

If you're using anime to compare you need to make sure the show was actually released in 1080p or at least higher than 720p, a lot of anime (older shows especially) isn't made in 1080p and BDs actually contain upscales. In that case the 1080p version obviously won't be better as the baseline source is not 1080p. Don't know about Carnival Phantasm in particular.

In any case, a real 1080p source upscaled to 1440p is going to look better than 720p, simply because it contains a lot more information to begin with.

Having the unscaled raws would be best, but most of the shit I download is going to be 1080p or 720p anyways. I have no control of what the release groups and publishing companies do, but I do what I can on my end. Sadly I don't have any really good releases in both 1080p and 720p. I sampled a bunch of shows other than Carnival Phantasm, but not as much.
Honestly my config does a good enough job I just grab 720p releases unless it's a movie or a show that I really want a BD rip of.

If high refresh rate is important to you get the 1440p / 144hz monitor.

If you rarely play games and dont' care about 60ghz get 4k.

If you're rich get a 4k 144hz monitor.

>I have no control of what the release groups and publishing companies do
No, but if you want to actually test upscalers you need to at the very least make sure that you are using a proper source. If your "1080p" test file is actually 720p > 1080p the whole test is pointless.

i’d still get high refresh rate even if i don’t play games

Are you telling me I can get hardware level motion blur effects in games with no fps decrease?

1440p 60hz is good but any higher will require top-tier hardware. Also some games still don't scale or run properly.

>top tier hardware
With 1070tis and Vegas being as cheap as they are, I'd hardly call it "top tier hardware"

Depends what settings you want and if you want a stable 120+ fps. Also a good CPU is needed, something from Skylake onwards.

>Depends what settings you want and if you want a stable 120+ fps.
Normally those looking at 1440p 60hz monitors aren't looking for 120fps.

1440p, 144hz. Can't get better than that really. Only way to run 4K with high graphics and high fps is with a 2080ti, but nobody sane enough bought one.

What do people think of this monitor?

I'm really bad at making decisions about monitors. The last one I got was a 32 inch 4k Freesynch monitor when my system couldn't really support 4k at high settings and when I had a Nvidea card. Everthing looked too small at 4k resolution anyways... It was $400 ill spent.

Don't know! How about you read the fucking reviews!!!!

You're supposed to set it to 125% scale. That's what I do with my 32" 4K.

4K is the new standard if you standards are low. Very few people who buy 4K for gaming also buy a top tier graphics card to utilize it.

I don't consider 4K worthwhile if you have to turn any settings down besides AA. I know it certainly depends on the game. Low intensity games like Dota 2 and CSGO are easy to run.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider runs 90-100 average performance at 1440p with a 1080ti, I wouldn't want to buy 4K if I had to turn settings down.

Why would you like to have motion blur on your games? Are you underage and/or fucking retarded?

How about you fucktards buy a 1920x1200 NEC or Eizo monitor & just enjoy life. Is that too hard for you??? #FFS

There's a significant middleground between 1440p and 2160p. 1800p often works well.

Listen up fucktard, I'm already enjoying life on my IPS, 1440p, 144hz, gsync, 27"

QHD 144Hz Gsync are great but AUO quality is shit and Costco doesn't sell them.

Settled on UW 3440x1440 100Hz Gsync with LG panel for a 2080 gpu. Well over 60fps with all the eye candy enabled.

4K is not for gaming. I have A/B'd 1440p and 2160p and prefer the higher quality settings and refresh rates of the QHD.

Running the same setup with Freesync and couldn't ask for more. Gaymes and 1080p/BD movies look sharp as shit and there's so little content for 4K now anyway that I wait until my next 'pooter upgrade in a couple years.

How good is the Mbest MB279QR144? I'm mainly worried about the VA panel and ghosting issues since I currently have an IPS monitor and I don't experience it.

Excellent for productivity and every day use. Plenty of screen real estate and good pixel density to make any work look good, even on budget screens for Adobe, or music work. In terms of gaming, I actually do not like 1440p for most games as I find that it requires looking around the screen more frantically for things like mini-maps, indicators and ammo counts. I still game on my 144Hz 1080P monitor, and use my 1440p monitor for productivity.

adjust UI / sit further back, Peripheral vision / being good for ammo count etc. no way you should be turning your head unless you're using the stupid fucking 49" samsung garbage

you've obviously never seen an expensive tn panel if you actually think they're that much worse than ips panels on a monitor that's focused on playing video games and playing video games only.
yeah, those cheap ass laptop tns have god awful colors. 700 dollar tns have accurate enough colors for games, video games aren't print graphics design or video editing.
webm related, guess which screen is worse for playing games.

"better for games" sure, and yeah, maybe when your'e a lmao superpro ebin gamer, but the difference is really so negligible that it wouldn't matter to anyone. i bet most pros couldn't tell the difference if you did an debranded test of both.

It's nice in a lot of them.

i'm using a tn panel asus from 2014.

Upgraded from 29" 1366x768p tn to 27" 2560x1440 ips and i came

3 1080p monitors is the superior choice.

1440 is for single monitor setups.

4k is for television/enterainment systems, not for work.

yep had a korean IPS panel 1440p 27 inch for several years now, my favorite screen.

1440p and a 2160p monitor set up is the superior choice.

4K is retarded as their is very little 4K content. 1440p has been the sweet spot for ages now

Both 720p and 1080p look just fine on a 27" screen

At what age did you lose the ability to hold a proper conversation, user? Has your life been better or worse since you removed all nuance from your thought and lumped everything into "GOOD THING" and "BAD THING" categories in your mind?

Inefficient as fuck

Futureproof yourself with a 144hz/1440p monitor. When AMD gets their shit together and releases 7nm GPUs, you'll actually hit that monitor's framerate. Single 2080ti already comes close to 144fps on AAA games.

1440p at 144hz is worth it
at 65hz its a meme lol

I think you're being optimistic with Vega 20's performance targets. I don't know how much faster than a 1080Ti they will be, I reckon they'll match it for a cheaper price.

I have my hopes though. Their 7nm Ryzen 2 looks likely to match the 9900K which is fantastic.

No one is going to buy AMD again if all they're doing is matching the 1080ti. 1080ti's are already plentiful and obsolete for enthusiasts.

AMD needs to match or at least come close to the 2080ti, with or without ray tracing or other gimmicks. No one will buy Vega20 if they pull another Vega64 and try to con everyone into thinking it's a true competitor to Nvidia's flagship.

Whatever you do, don't buy this piece of shit.
First one came with the screen smashed.
second try and the screen has a vertical line of dead pixels.
Now i have two screens that i need to send back.
As a side note HDR is shit.

there are two new LG monitors coming out next month, don't have the models on me atm since I'm at work but basically it's

34" 1440p 144hz vs 34" 5k 60hz
atm I don't really game all that much anymore, but if a game worth playing comes out any time soon, I might start again. Probably better off with the 144hz right?

>buying samshit

34" is way too large for 1440 imo, 27" is pretty common and a good sweet spot. On the other hand 34" might be a bit on the cramped side for 5k. What sort of ppi would that even be, compaured to a 27" 1440? Scaling errything is shit, too.

Listen to these niggas, they tell the truth.

1440p is good for 27" to 32" screens without scaling.
4K requires non-integer scaling at those sizes. For integer scaling (2x) 4K is only good for screens up to 24" in size, so no extra screen real estate over 24" 1080p.

28"-32" 1440p is the patrician's choice until 5K and/or 8K 28-32" monitors are released.

32" 1440p is about the same ppi as 24" 1080p, and 32" is about the biggest you can get before having to turn your head significantly sideways to see each side. I'm using 32" atm and i wouldn't go larger, i'd think 30" is perfect.

What would Jow Forums recommend for general use and a bit of gayming. Basically something that that has a good response time but none of the gamer aesthetic?

Will it be comfy to watch 1080p videos on 1440p display? Or it will be blurry piece of satanic defecation

1080p isn't even worth it.

I use 680p screen of my vita to play ps4 games (that mostly run at 900p any way because its OG ps4)

I use 1024x768 120hz 0ms crt for pc use.

I might build my own LCD and mount it in the old mac matte screen frame from 2008 or some thing thou. prob will wait for 500hz gsync thou.

I do mountains of work in Unity for horror development. Having a deeper contrast and blacks being black instead of gray is more important to me than 10% more vivid colors. So I want to get a VA panel as it seems like a nice compromise between TN and IPA. Opinions?

>4k is for television/enterainment systems, not for work.
You're retarded. 4K TV are usually seen from distances at which your eye can't even resolve the pixel density of a 4K panel. 4K makes sense in 30" and above monitors because your face is at less than a meter from it. Too bad no GPU that costs less than a kidney can handle 4K well enough.

That's the usual Nvidia tax.

But money isn't the issue for me here and I already have a 1080ti. So, meh I figure I might as well just go all in at this point.

I have gsync and never use it. You could go for a nicer 700 bucks freesync monitor instead.

I hate the zoomer-look of all the gaymin monitors.

Depends on how far away you want to sit

Input lag is more about the rest of the monitor hardware, not the panel. You can buy high refresh rate IPS monitors with very low input lag.

Any Jow Forums approved tri monitor vesa mounts? All of the ones on amazon seem to be swarmed with shill reviews.

FREESYNC WORKING WITH NVIDIA CARD DOING THE HEAVY LIFTING.

>with or without ray tracing or other gimmicks
AMD already has that. Nvidia's raytracing crap is just a DX12 feature wrapped in some proprietary bullshit that they told their marketing department to advertise as the focus of this gen.

AMD's main issue (not counting having trouble giving competition in the high end market) is their abysmal marketing department, at least in comparison with Nvidia's.
