Fastest 1080p vs. 1440p Monitor (huge difference) 

Depends on the size of the monitor, the distance you are from the screen, the performance of your GPU, the original resolution of the rendered assets / movie ..... etc. It's silly to just say "1440p is better" when it might be a complete waste of money for some people, factoring in other things. A young lad once asked me to build him a PC. And he was willing to spend £350 on the CPU, £400 on the GPU and .... £150 on a 1080p 60Hz monitor. For example. I talked him out of it, told him how to balance performance across all components. For him, a 1440p 120Hz monitor was a must. So he dropped the spec of other components and lost a 2nd SSD drive. Improving the overall gaming experience by a huge factor, and not wasting all that CPU + GPU horsepower on a screen that couldnt keep up.

@@TheVanillatech What? It's not silly at all to say 1440p is better, it's obviously better. 95% of people buying 1440p monitors are getting 27-32" to use things that are capable of reaching that resolution (which these days is pretty much EVERYTHING except live streams). It's a significant step up from 1080p 24-27". Even at 32" 1440p the PPI is identical to a much smaller 24" 1080p monitor. Just because it might be a complete waste to very specific people, doesn't mean it isn't objectively better. It just simply is better. It's more pixels for your eyeballs to enjoy, you can have larger screens and still keep the same or better level of detail.

@@TheVanillatech I mean they never really said 1440p is better, he just said it was so much better for them when they switched

@@toad7395 I know but people reading it are easily led. People don't understand the other factors at play. People fall for marketing, and buzzwords, and gimmicks, without actually understanding the technology. Hence why so many idots dream of spending $1000 on a 360Hz screen, while their eyes can only see 180fps (if they are lucky) and the GPU's can't even break triple figure frames.

@@vangledosh 80% of people with gaming PC's don't have a GPU that can run modern titles in 1440p with even 60fps. So they follow your comments advice, and believe that 1440p is "better". And spend the next 2 years running a non native, lower resolution like 1080p that looks absolutely trash cos they bought a 1440p monitor. Even MORE trash cos it's a 27"-32" screen. Money wasted. As I said, it DEPENDS. It's not just "BETTER" for the VAST majority of people. But it is, for a minority. Life isn't simple. Thankfuly.

i agree with you on that one for sure. its gotten so bad i now use an ad blocker. hands down the best thing i have ever used period. im ok w then inserting an ad for obvious reasons. when your talkin 3+ ads thats a bit much. im also not paying youtube for something i can do myself neither. i prefer the straight to the point no bs approach.

wow going from 60 to 144 is already one of the biggest changes youll ever get while gaming, 1080 to 1440 as well mustve been nuts

for competitive games I'd suggest a 1080p monitor, if I play competitive games I usually tend to go for 4:3 and on 27" monitor you just see the pixels too much

If you have a beast of PC, you should definitely do competitive on 1440p@240/360Hz. It will be miles better than 1080p on clear image/spotting enemies easier.@@samuelson9196

Was apex bad at 1440p?

@@strawberrymilkshake112 No not bad by any means, I just prefer the smaller screen size on 1080p, my screen is 24.5" vs my 1440 panel which is 27". One of the main differences is that my 1080 panel has much better motion clarity too; this also influenced my decision. Having said all that, seeing all these 1440p OLED panels coming out this year I will probably give one of them a go in Apex. Bottom line is I would just use whatever you find most comfortable to play on, but try and get a monitor with good motion clarity if you can.

My main game is Apex and I wanna upgrade my monitor. My monitor is 1080p 144hz and I’m thinking about a 360hz 1080p monitor or a 240hz 1440p. What would u recommend me?

I don't think that OLED has the same issue as others so it doesn't need strobing

@@AdvancedGamingYT the problem herein lies with tge fact that OLED displays are always on and I need strobing for much better perceived clarity (watch ULMB 2 video, it makes more sense once you try both models like I have for 4 weeks). I hate shilling for companies but I just wanted to say the product is goated if you want or need the clearest motion in 2023, this will do it

You don't need to worry about burn in in today's age, it's a thing from a decade ago......you literally need thousands and thousands of hours of constant exposure to the same image to get any burn in. And that's 24/7 for a year straight. Using it 8 hours a day and changing the picture around, you'd be lucky to see burn in within the monitors entire life.

OLED burn in was relevant 10 years ago. Missing out fella

@@AdvancedGamingYT OLED isn't any different in that regard, strobing is done to eliminate motion blur caused by the sample-and-hold technique these screens use to display the image. Only on OLED they don't talk about strobing, it's called BFI or black frame insertion.

Why do you use hdr? Its horrendous it looks uglier on every game ive played

@@xRealUzz You need a better monitor. That's why.

Yes, in games with pixel peeping I definitely feel more confident on 1440p than I did at 1080p. The 78% more pixels is no joke, there's just more to work with

Yeah bro it’s night and day on games like cs and rainbow where u peeking the smallest lil shit quick

I see no reason not to upgrade if you're pushing 600fps lol. That monitor is bottlenecking so bad.

@@ZenTunE- true, just have a lot of stuff going on that prevents spending $1000 on a new monitor right now when i already have an xl2546k thats working fantastic

@@NoHope_ A thousand? Got an oled on your mind?

Skeptical lol. Total game changer

I also gave my OLED back, but because of eyestrain/headache. Could be 21:9, curved, VRR gamma flicker, PWM flicker (brightness control), subpixel structure or the size of 45“. And today my PG27AQN should arrive, can‘t wait! Had also an IPS/240Hz/G-Sync compatible, but i didn‘t like the „blackout“ when tabbing from game to desktop. That happened also to the G-Sync compatible OLED. My former G-Sync/TN/144Hz didn‘t do that. Anyway the IPS had also a graphical error with a white line appears from time to time. That‘s why i went again for a monitor with G-Sync module.

does urs go black screen for one second when switching tab from full screen game?

@@FireStarter23 u didnt know that pg27aqn also has blackout when tabbing from game to desktop too ?

@@princekittipon6510Yeah i read that. I knew that only from G-Sync compatible monitors. hmm

@@princekittipon6510 I didn‘t try yet, later this evening i will set it up. But thats really strange for a real G-Sync. My current G-Sync has immediate transitions, no matter which resolution i have the fullscreen game.

I also bought the 32 inch version just because of his review. lol His sponsors should give him a bonus!

Same here.

Same for $340

Which one you choice 1080p or 1440p

@@TaiNguyen-fs9wm Im using the 1440p monitor now, and im not going back to 1080p. Using the 1440p monitor feels so much better both in games and watching vids. its much clearer

When I first time moved from 17 inch 4:3 monitor to 24 inch 16:9 monitor 10 years ago for a few years I thought 24 inches is too big. But for a while now I think at normal sitting distances it's too small. 27 inches at minimum. And the actual sharpness/pixel density difference at 1440p 24 vs 27 inches is almost impercievable (I tested 24 inch 1440p for a week on top of using a 27 inch 1440p)

The Dell 2417DG has always been a sleeper monitor. Been out for 6 years; some of the best motion clarity on the market still. Pick one up used if you want one.

​@@dontpokethebear3893 400 bucks for a tn panel? no thanks

@@keppycs Zowie be like

go for 240hz

Yea hopefully we see an oled monitor with a better sub-pixel arrangement.

Did the issue with users getting black screens get fixed with ULMB2? Is that the error you mentioned?

You don't even want GSYNC on with a 360hz monitor. GSYNC is meant to prevent screen tearing, but adds input delay. At 360hz, even at 165hz there's no visible tearing unless you're using a slow motion camera. A game running at 40fps with gsync at 40hz will look much MUCH worse, than a game running at 40fps over 360hz. Because the frame will be displayed 9x at 360hz, and without GSYNC or VSYNC enabled it will keep updating the image ever so slightly. Creating more natural motion even in low framerate situations.

G-sync/adaptive sync is not compatible with ULMB2. Ulmb 2 is not gsync its a technology that will be on gsync monitor because its use the gsunc processor but that not the same thing. So its useoess for me. I play only with Adaptive sync

@@xkannibale8768 and how many games runs at 360fps? Even old games like Far Cry 4 or Crysis runs at 100-200 fps on avarage. You can have RTX 4090 and its useless because engine of games limits how FPS each game can produces.

As will be the price 😂

And the fact windows is still not made for 2k, it’s the same problem than with 4k. 80% of stuff on your desktop is smaller instead of being more detailed/sharper which can be really annoying

Most people dont wanna buy such a monitor, so why u think that he have to review the g9 dont get it.

It's because he used the new NVIDIA tool to compare the monitors. It kinda gives the pg27aqn the edge, because that monitor does give a better image right in the middle of the screen. However, the zowie gives a clearer image overall, and is better at faster motion.

Same! Or, I'd be set for life with 4K 240Hz. We have that already, but sadly not flat and made for competitive. I'm tired of the people saying 1080p is all competitive needs, only because they don't know there's a world outside corridor shooters.

I have a 32 inch curved 1080p 165hz panel, I feel if it was 4k or 1440 it would be great as well. 27 is not a bad size though

it will make a massive difference and you would never wanna go back to 1080p ever again went from a ips 240hz 1080p to a 240hz 1440p from aorus, and the colors, and just the resolution is so much better and so enjoyable for all around gaming but also just media consumption i got myself 27 inch which if for me big enough

I run the Lg Utragear 27” 1440p ips 165hz-180hz OC. Awesome monitor. They came out a year or so ago so you will find them on sale if they’re still in stock.

The jump from 60-144 fps is insanely noticeable but 144-280 isn’t crazy imo. Especially on 1440 or 4k pcs aren’t doing 300fps on most games unless it’s a comp game.

I have a 165hz monitor but still run all my games in 60fps. It feels more cinematic. 165 just feels too fast, almost giving me motion sickness.

Some people on cod are still playing on ps4. And then you got the cheaters too...

I did the same. 260 hz 1080p to 144. Best decision I made

@@G0A7 I'm trying to figure out if there's a difference here between the image clarity for games and video. I assume there isn't, but I'm not an expert so I ask the question as I'm interested to know if this clarity of image at high refresh is just through gaming settings or is the monitor capable of ths image quality on video too? I'll edit my post though as it should say refresh rather than speed.

@@igavinwood My guess is that if the video is recorded at 120fps or 240fps a screen capable of reproducing those should be better than a 60hz, but most of video is 60 or 24 like films

@@G0A7 It's what I assume, but we are comparing Hz to FPS and they're not the same thing. I've seen tech like TruMotion in use for video playback, but as there are bigger SSDs at smaller physical sizes and camera tech improvements, I'm wondering if high end content is displayed on these monitors with the same clarity. Probably not a issue that most people even care about though, right? Just the geeks with the drones filming highspeed sports ;)

Id buy that.

I'd buy the crap out of that! One of my main games is CS:GO. 27" is just too big because it doesn't fit your cone of sight. Even better would be a 16:10 25"

Would be an instant buy for me. Maybe its costly to produce?

Nah. I went from 4k 60hz to 240hz 1440p. Such a sweet spot man. 1080p did look worse sadly, even on a 24 inch.

Yeh, can't even imagine 4K, to 1440p it's 33% more vertical pixels, 1440p to 4K is 50% But the performance hit though, 120% more total pixels to render, personally wouldn't go to 4K unless I had a 4090 level gpu.

I've tried 1080p, 1440p and recently 4K, in Battlefield 1440p and 1080p are simply a joke, you can't see anything, in 4K you literally see the sniper man super far from the map, it's freacking more enjoyable while 1080p you are just a random person which is blind and 1440p is just ok. On Apex is different, 1440p is enough, 1080p is too much blurry, 4K is perfect but the drop in performance here is not that good. But i repeat, if you play Battlefield, go for 4K, 4K is way way better looking than 1440p.
