Hello LTT Community,

 

I come to you with a question. So I am the type of person who can't tell the difference between 1ms and 4ms for a monitor, based on that could anyone really tell me if I would notice the difference between a 2560x1440 or a 2560x1080 resolution on a 35/34-inch monitor? Some reviews say that you might notice a few things but exactly HOW noticeable would it be?

 

Thanks in advance.

It's just as hard for us to describe the difference in image quality in the two resolutions as you trying to tell the difference of 1ms and 4ms monitor. Clearly just saying "it can show more details" is just BS, but that's what it is.

2560x1080 is a 21:9 aspect ratio and is 1080p, also known as ultra wide, 2560x1440 is a 16:9 aspect ratio and is 1440p, commonly known as wide screen. I currently own an ultra wide and personally i think the 1440p 16:9 screen makes more sense. Just make sure your pc is up to the task of gaming at that res.

 

Edit:

In a nut shell its 1080p vs 1440p, so 1440p will look better

Nobody can see the difference between 1ms and 4ms. But the Resolution is noticable.
