1440p144 or 4k60, has anyone here experienced both?

sparkchomp · December 11, 2020

I just bought the lg gl850. It’s a good monitor with some backlight bleeding/IPS glow. I play PC and PS5 games. PC games look good. But PS5 games look a bit off, even when downscaled from 4K.

I am thinking about returning it and going for a 4K monitor. But I just cant play CoD and FPS games at 60Hx. It feels a little slow.

I can manage 30 FPS in some games but when comes to fast paced shooters like CoD even 60 FPS feels slow.

what should I do?

Does anyone have a dual set up 1440p and a 4K monitor? How do you feel about it?

having played on a 4k and 1440p display, the experience is far superior on the 144Hz 1440p display. Not just shooters but the general gaming experience feels a lot better with the smoothness, and 1440p on a 27" display or thereabouts looks damn fine anyway

i have, get the 1440p monitor in 27'' if its for your PC and get a 4K 60inch TV if it's for your living room...anyone saying otherwise isn't right.

That said, personally this time around 3 or 4 years later since i bought my monitor, this time i would hunt down an ultrawide 3440x1440p

Ultrawide support with games natively was poor back then and monitors were A LOT more expensive (i paid 900$CAD for my monitor and ultra wide equivalent but 100hz was 1699$)

I use the 4K 28'' monitor that my office provided as a secondary display...it's 60hz and i tried gaming on it and it's absolute garbage...night and day compared with a gaming monitor...and i don't like it either for work because everything is SO FKN SMALL...and mind you im 38 but my vision is perfect...and in autocad it's a nightmare to use and...it's trash basically. Told them not to buy that crap but they did anyway.

Well...sorry for my previous post i did not realized you already bought a 1440p gaming monitor...but that means you got my unbiased opinion about the whole thing

it's quite possible that some of the settings for your monitor should be changed when playing the PS5 on it?

i'm not an expert on that end tho, i only use my PC on mine because the sucker is so old now it used the gsync module and only has 1 display port and that's it...

can't hook any HDMI stuff it in to test.
