1440p, unlike 4k, is not an even quadruple of 1080p. So, what happens to the image? It would have to be stretched or distorted, but how?

Edit: How on a pixel level.

Its the same as putting a 720p pic on a 1080p screen, i think it still uses the same aspect ratio

It's still 16:9 aspect ratio. So, it is in fact stretched (blown up). But not distorted.

Keep in mind it's to do with the aspect ratio they are both in which is 16:9, meaning that it would be a stretched image yet it would still look reasonably detailed since, in a way they are in the same 'times table'.

btw ignore what I wrote before... I got it all wrong :P

It stretches out the picture in a way to accommodate for the extra pixels but since it is still 16:9 it doesn't look bad.

i've had a 1080p wallpaper on my 1440p monitor before and while it doesn't look too bad it doesn't compare to a 2560x1440 pic on the display.
