Is it worth buying a 1080p in 2017

[Ya boii]

So i had a 1440p 165hz monitor until it died on me a few days ago ;(  R.I.P. So now i need to buy a new monitor. I don't do much content creation and i mostly game.

I have a gtx1080 and a i7 6700k. I just recently saw that asus has released their 240hz 1080p monitor. I love the way it looks and the fact that it runs at 240hz, but the thing is that i need a monitor that will last me at least 2 to 3 years and the fact that it has a 1080p display is really deterring me from buying it. Do you think that 1080p will still be a standard after 1 or 2 years ?

That depends on if you think 1080p is good enough for you. There really isn't a thing called a "standard" for resolutions, just whatever's most common. And I think 1368x768 is still the most common resolution, even if by a small amount over the next winner.

1080p is still relevant. If you're talking about the pg258q it's a good buy

I personally can't go back to choosing 1080p for personal use, the resolution is just too small for me. To answer your question though, yes it will likely remain dominant for at least the next 5 years.

1080p still isn't bad to this day. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I would personally be fine with running at 1360x768 but 1080p is more than sufficient for the majority of people.

its not much of a price leap to 1440p tbh... but you can get higher fps displays in 1080p so... preferences tbh
