Depends on the refresh rates. It 1080p with a higher refresh rate> 1440p with lower refresh rate for FPS's

CPU: i7-4770k CPU Cooler: NH-D14 RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8gb GPU: EVGA Superclocked 780 ti MOBO: ASUS Maximus VI Gene PSU: Corsair RM 850 Case: Bitfenix Prodigy M

There is no pure "better for gaming" anything. It just depends on what you'd be more comfortable with, and would enjoy playing with most. That said, we do still need to know more info.

We'd need to know what graphics hardware you were running in order to properly asses whether or not you'd actually be able to drive a 1440p panel. 

CPU: 5930K @ 4.5GHz | GPU: Zotac GTX 980Ti AMP! Extreme edition @ 1503MHz/7400MHz | RAM: 16GB Corsair Dom Plat @ 2667MHz CAS 13 | Motherboard: Asus X99 Sabertooth | Boot Drive: 400GB Intel 750 Series NVMe SSD | PSU: Corsair HX1000i | Monitor: Dell U2713HM 1440p monitor

1440p is better in every way if you have the power to support it.

1440p pro : pixel density is beautiful and will give you a lot more screen real estate

1440p pro : 1440p monitors use IPS (or other high quality panel type, except for the Asus ROG 1440p) panel which produce better and more accurate colors

1440p con: you'll have to upgrade your graphic(s) card more frequently with 1440p.

1440p con: expensive relative to 1080p

1440p con: high response time increases mouse latency

1440p con: max 60hz refresh rate (except for Asus RoG which has 120Hz)

 

1080 pro : lower pixel density (depends on the size of monitor of course; I believe 21.5" 1080p = 27" 1440p)

1080 pro: inexpensive

1080 pro: lower response time which reduces mouse latency 

1080 pro :high refresh rates (you have to actually achieve that framerate though)

1080p con: TN panel (not necessarily bad, but don't produce as accurate colors like a IPS panel)

No. It's IPS. 

Can I get a link or a model number. I am interested. I was going to wait for G-Sync but $350 for an ips 1440p monitor is cheap.

Please don't get a 27" 1080p monitor. 22"-24" is good for 1080p and 1440p is best for 27".

What about refresh rate? and im not talking about those korean monitors. Refresh rate is so downplayed and that's why I'm sticking with 22" 1080p IPS until innovation starts. I'd hate to get a 120Hz monitor and have to downgrade because I wanted to go up to 1440p and 120Hz isnt widely supported (yet).

Still learning how to play Dota 2 :)

Lets start off with this. What are the specs of your system right now? You need the power to game at 1440p if you are going to get a 1440p monitor. Also, 1440p wont scale down pixle to pixle to 1080p so other resolutions may look "off"

Case: Phanteks Evolve X with ITX mount  cpu: Ryzen 3900X 4.35ghz all cores Motherboard: MSI X570 Unify gpu: EVGA 1070 SC  psu: Phanteks revolt x 1200W Memory: 64GB Kingston Hyper X oc'd to 3600mhz ssd: Sabrent Rocket 4.0 1TB ITX System CPU: 4670k  Motherboard: some cheap asus h87 Ram: 16gb corsair vengeance 1600mhz
