Can You Buy Blu-Rays for 1440p Monitors Or is That Just Not a Thing?

Nope, Blu Rays are usually only resolutions, 1080p or 4k

Dammit, that sucks but are there any downloadable 1440p movies?

Not really. You will need to go to 4K if you want more than 1080p.

 

YouTube allows for 1440p but it seems like you are not talking about those kinds of videos.

If you’re talking about Hollywood movies? No. 

 

HD home releases are standardized to 1080p (Full HD or FHD) or 2160p (4K or Ultra HD or UHD). 

 

The specific resolution of each movie will depend on the aspect ratio, with the horizontal resolution always equalling 1920 pixels for HD and 3840 pixels for 4K.  

 

You could of course take a 4K UHD bluray release and transcode it into 1440p, but what would be the point? Simply watching that 4K release natively on the 1440p monitor will produce better quality compared to downscaling the video to 1440p. 

 

TL;DR?

 

Just watch 4K on your 1440p monitor.

Depends on what you mean by drawbacks. 

Obviously you can't natively display 3840x2160 on a 2560x1440 display. It will downsample it. That's not really a drawback though.
