I have a limited budget, is 1440p really that much of an improvement over 1080p?
I know 144hz will be smoother but that only applies to CS, TF2 and Overwatch. Not a lot will actually take advantage of the hz. And TN monitors have inaccurate colors and terrible angles.
But 1440p actually makes text smaller and is not the standard resolution yet for most things. IPS monitors apparently have the best colors though. (suffers in response)
Would you take resolution over refresh rate?
Logan Perez
60fps vs 144fps is a bigger difference than 1080p vs 1440p.
Jace Wilson
I unironically want Shad to draw Kat from Gravity Rush.

Logan Allen
Windows has issues with high DPI monitors. Go with 144hz.
Evan Hernandez
That is true. If only there was side by side comparisons of TN colors vs IPS colors. I saw one video but the guy was cheating because the TN monitor was 50 million dollars and had better specs than most TNs.
And also there will be more time spent browsing and doing other stuff besides 3 games. So it's still hard for me to decide.
Luke Jenkins
I'd say don't bother with 1440p, 4k is a big hit on performance. 144hz makes fps a lot smoother.
144hz is probably the better choice.

No, you get out, you filthy ginger-lover
Owen Johnson
Good thing no one is talking about 4k, then?
144Hz is probably the greater improvement now, but keep in mind that 1440p will likely become the default resolution within a couple of years.
Julian Price
Remember that time Cred Forums thought shadman was good just because he drew Hilary porn?
Go with 144hz for silky smooth
Elijah Williams
Yeah I looked at a lot of 1440p comparisons and I cannot tell the difference at all with 1080p.
The only drawback with TN monitors apparently is worse colors. The card and the cpu already cost me a lot, so being restricted to 1080p feels really shitty too. I'm planning to get a 27" monitor too which means pixels.

Ethan Thompson
144Hz is unbelievable. And unlike what most people claim, it's not "only" useful for twitchy games, because everything will be more confortable to look at at 144Hz. But yes, the difference really does shine in FPS and racing games.
Parker Thompson
Go for 4K. Otherwise you don't get enough graphics in your video card to render the game. 1080P looks like Satan's balls now.
Hudson Jenkins
Am I crazy in thinking 1440p will be skipped and the next step up from 1080p would be 4k instead? I mean even the consoles are trying to do it. I doubt 1440p will be mainstream when 4K already kinda is.
Juan Campbell
Oh I guess it's not 4k, so it's a literal meme-resolution. It'll still hit performance.
Jeremiah Watson
That's a load of horseshit.
Lincoln Brooks
I think 1440p will be skipped as well, because movies don't use it.
Joshua James
nobody designs games for anything above 1080p yet, all it does is stretch your UI and makes muddy ass textures more apparent
Adrian Ross
Fighting games are usually capped at 60, do I still notice a difference?
Jason Long
This
I have a 144hz as my main monitor and a 60hz as my secondary and the difference in just moving the mouse around and doing basic browsing shit is astounding
Ian Lee
No.
Sebastian Reyes
Doesn't matter the genre, if the game can support framerates higher than 60 then you will notice a difference.
Framerate >>> resolution

If this is true, I'm ordering my 1080p monitor right away. Also how bad are TN monitor colors compared to IPS? There needs to be a direct side by side comparison.
Jacob Scott
Just go to an electronics store and see for yourself.
Can't really be explained in text.
Easton Diaz
Are you retarded? Don't buy 1080 if you have the money and power for 1440+.
Night and Day. It's like going to an electronics section/store and seeing all the different tv's on display. Granted store lighting is not an accurate enviorment for them anyway but oh well Those ones you see which are dark and have muddy colors are like the TN's. And the bright and colorful ones are like the IPS equivalent.
Really, gaming on a 1440 IPS is great. Some games are a new experience from those restored colors.
Thomas Sanchez
shadbase is terrible but at least he speaks to my fetishes.
Luis Jenkins
Go on ebay and buy an overclockable 2560x1440 QNIX monitor, you fucking monkey.
Caleb Thomas
I went for 1440p. A 27" 1440p monitor has about the same pixel density as a 21" 1080p monitor, looks quite nice.
I'm still not used to shit running at over 60FPS and a low framerate has never really bothered me as long as it stays relatively consistent and at least 30FPS or so. I'm probably the exception to the rule here in hat regard but whatever.
Mason Clark
>gaming on 1440 IPS is great
The only cons are response time, lag, usually capped at 60hz. But yeah it's still really hard to decide. I mean, at 1440p GTX 1070 can still maintain 60fps right? If 60fps is still possible, 1440p would be great.
144hz would be a huge improvement too, but it's only for a few games. For me, TF2, CS and Overwatch are probably the only games that will require that much. Aside from those 3, the monitor would just be a standard 1080p that everyone else has.
This is a good idea. I'm gonna go to Best Buy today.
Aiden Allen

Trashed.
Camden Davis
Depends whether you prefer better picture over better game feel
Christopher Howard
I recently bought an Asus 144hz monitor yet I can't seem to get it to work with my system. I have an i5 and a GTX 960 yet when I plug it in with display port I can't get any games to load. Like with Overwatch it will stay on the login screen. Once I waited long enough to get into the menu but it won't even load the character splash or hero gallery.
It works fine with DVI of course. Do I just need to upgrade my video card?
Eli Jones

Liam Phillips
You need much more money in order to consistently make use of the 144hz difference, other than moving your cursor and snapping windows
1440p is a better investment if you actually use your pc for anything other than gaming
Jaxson Lewis
>The only cons are response time, lag, usually capped at 60hz. Well there's 120hz IPS but the power for modern FPS isn't quite there yet without graphical compromises. response time shit needs to end though. 1-5ms is literally impossible to tell the difference.
Henry Lee
but that's his best stuff senpai
Tyler Smith
Will a 144hz monitor eliminate screen tearing if the frame rate never goes over 144 fps?
Nathaniel Martin
pretty good except for the feet desu
Josiah Wood
>literal meme resolution man you know nothing
Juan Rodriguez
that left foot what the fuck oh god what the actual fuck look at it
Lucas Wright
>tfw you like buttholes but not edgy
Aaron Nelson
The korean monitors don't have an OST so the response time is decent. You wouldn't be able to tell the difference between 5ms and 1ms.
Jacob Lewis
Still would take 144hz over 1440
Logan Foster
That shitposting. Witcher 3 is pixel mess with 1080p. When i change it to 1440p the difference is huge. What the hell are you talking about you sack of shit,
Isaiah Thomas
go with 1440p, totally worth it if you can maintain 60fps
i'd only go with 144hz if all you play is competitive fps or something
Jackson Robinson
>shad
Nathan Allen
She has a penis, so yes.
Camden Brooks
1440p@144hz. Get a ROG Swift or Acer Predator.
Blake Gomez
I unironically want Shad to go back to drawing the cartoon fallout vault-girls because the simplistic coloring means he doesn't ruin them with his gross details / textures and shit.
Ryan Rodriguez
I never could understand how people could play on monitors. How can sitting on a chair staring at a 24 inch screen be as immersive and comfy as sitting on your bed or sofa and staring at a beautiful 50' plus HD TV.
