Posted August 19, 2017 It's a pick between high refresh rate 1440p or 4K 60Hz then, and that's up to personal references. I myself prefer high refresh 1440p.

Posted August 19, 2017 I had the choice between 4k60 and 1440p144, and I chose 144, which is a decision I'll never regret. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, is much smoother at 144hz. It's like the difference between an HDD and SSD, but for your eyes. It's fantastic.

Posted August 19, 2017 Yup the only thing that will move me from my 1440p 144hz display, is a 2160p 144hz display (but it has to have super low input lag). But...........the reason why is I play FPS and need every edge I can get, for general gaming 2160p @60hz is just fine.
