Depends on the size of the 1080p monitor. There's quite a significant difference if they're both 27", but a 21" (approximately) 1080p monitor has the same ppi as a 27" 1440p monitor.

The Note 4's screen is a massive improvement over the Note 3's and that's mainly because it's an upgrade to 1440p.

 

Generally, everything will look far sharper and you will see far more detail. It's one of those things where you won't want to go back if you don't have to.

Sig under construction.
