You can find used, not all too shitty, 1080p screens for like €10 if you look on your local markets. Used parts sounds like the right way all around if your budget is so tight you can't even get a new 1080p screen tbh

i'm getting a new budget pc but i really really wanted atleast a 1080p display but i couldn't due to budget... so i'm getting a 1366x768 display. is it bad? or will it just improve my fps in games due to the lower pixel count. cause i do charity streams every saturday so i wanted to get a nice pc on a budget.

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Literally only one useful answer in this thread has been posted. 

I used to rock a TV that tapped out at 1360x768 and the overall experience wasn't bad. It's not that high of a resolution and websites are starting to shift away from prioritizing that as a usable resolution, but considering that 1366x768 is roughly 50% of 1080p just on a raw total pixel count, you could definitely expect a decent performance gain just on that alone. 

But as someone else said, you can always keep an eye out for used 1080p monitors in the $10-25 range easily if you're that cash strapped.

There may be a middle ground if you can't find a cheap enough 1080p display, 1680x1050 displays were also common at a point but practically worthless now. The extra pixels over 1366x768 will still help.

Main system: i9-7980XE, Asus X299 TUF mark 2, Noctua D15, Corsair Vengeance Pro 3200 3x 16GB 2R, RTX 3070, NZXT E850, GameMax Abyss, Samsung 980 Pro 2TB, Acer Predator XB241YU 24" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync + HP LP2475w 24" 1200p 60Hz wide gamut
Gaming laptop: Lenovo Legion 5, 5800H, RTX 3070, Kingston DDR4 3200C22 2x16GB 2Rx8, Kingston Fury Renegade 1TB + Crucial P1 1TB SSD, 165 Hz IPS 1080p G-Sync Compatible

My TV is 1366x768 and its fine, I really dont see a need to upgrade it.

So if you cant find any 1080p panels for a decent price its fine.

Take 1080p if you can though, obviously.

Also where are people finding 1080p monitors for that little? I havent seen any under $60
