[haloharry97]

HI all.

 

I just cracked my rog swift pg278q, I was thinking about getting rog swift pg27uq but the uq is 4k where i have been uising 1440p on the q, sooo dose anyone know if 1440p looks just the same or wose on a 4k screen that is the same size as the other one.

do you mean to ask

does 1440p look good on a 27inch 1440p monitor?
or

does 1440p look good on a 27inch 4k monitor?

Scaling might be an issue, text would not be as clear - kind of a waste tbh

why not just run 4k on a 4k monitor?
or if your computer has trouble running that resolution for games etc then just buy a 1440p monitor?

Not really because the amounts of pixels is a different ratio so some digital pixels will be cut in half accross physical pixels.

Because it looks nice on the desktop.

That's correct.

 

So if the other one bugs you, then stick with a 1440p monitor.

 The game it self looks the same but the color is a bit off but the thing that gived it away was the mouse loading cursor.

Either way, it was to give a comparison for you to figure out whether or not it looks bad to you

No. But I have those games so I can get them for you.

 

Also I took those pictures with the camera within 3 inches of the monitor. So it's actually unrealistic as far as viewing distance goes.
