Is 1080p at 27" really that bad

[PeggersXtreme]

Hi,

I currently have a 1440p 144hz monitor,  and have tried to go back to using 60hz but I just can't go back to using 60hz, it feels super unsmooth to me now however I like the look of ultrawides but the 1440p version are either 60hz or super expensive for 100hz.

 

So I recently saw the new LG 144hz IPS 2560x1080 34" ultrawide with 1ms response time IPS, (however they managed that lol) and have heard 34" ultrawide at 1080 is about the same as 27" 16:9 at 1080p,

I was wondering does it really look as bad as people say?

 

Going with that monitor I would lose out on Gsync but going to be honest in my opinion Gsync isn't that great and I actually might get an AMD gpu at some point if Nvidia doesn't start performing better in DX12 titles.

 

Thanks

I wouldn't spend my hard earned money on it, I'm not even the biggest fan of 3x 1080P 23 inch panels tbh but that's just my opinion

tbh imo 1600 x 900 is good, 

 

 

then again, ive been playing in it my whole life

 

bro  i bet 1080p is beautiful

 

i wouldnt know tho :(((((((((((

i sit a meter from my 27" 1080p screen and i can count the pixels if i try but its usable and its not BAD just not optimal for quality. i would go 1440p at anything larger then 27" however

I mean I have triple 1080p 27" and I don't get why people hate. Sure it's a little big, but games still look great, and it's affordable..

[themctipers]

I have used a 1080p and a 1200p 27" monitors for the majority of my life, and they're great at about a feet and a half away.

Yeah I was also considering going back to 1080p native as 1080p on a 1440p screen looks rubbish compared to native due to the stretching I know I have a GTX1080 but in a lot of AAA games it struggles at 1440p to even get a constant 60fps it's not as good as it's hyped to be yeah in some games it's great and hits the upper 100fps mark but not in every title and I end up having to tune settings back or resolution even in overwatch I have dynamic reflections off and AA off as it dips below 100fps which I like to stay within that range and then there is dishonoured 2 that doesn't even run great at 1080p let alone 1440p

I sit probably 2 1/2 feet from my screen

I could probably believe text pixel's are visible I have a 22" 1680x1050 as a secondary monitor and I can see pixels on text but images look the same as on my 1440p screen tbh

Well exactly. It all depends on colors right? Like I couldn't see any of the other astronauts, but Kate's eyes are a deep beautiful blue that you just can't miss. at 400,000 metres.

a single pixed at 1080p on a 27" panel will seem bigger from 1m away then a persons head thats 400 000 meters away...

images have a set resolution, a 300x400 image will look the same on any resolution over that of the picture basically

? I should say photo's but then a 21mp photo won't be seen to it's full quality on a monitor anyway so yeah it will look the same on most screen although might look sharper at 4k never tried so I wouldn't know and don't plan on 4k for a very long time....

1080p at 27" or smaller? 1080p at 22" would look better than 27" 1080p in theory anyway

It's fine

gonna be honest at native resolution my 1680x1050 22" looks identicle to my 2560x1440p 27" in games but then I don't really pay close enough attention to cliffs and the distance to notice much difference

Punctuation!

Sometimes I get the feeling that commas (,) and periods (.) aren't being tought in school anymore...

I dont want to be a grammer nazi, but reading a text like this seriously hurts my eyes/brain.

I wouldn't choose to use 1080p at 27", the resolution is so low. I have pretty bad eyes but even I find it bothersome. I mean sure... you can use it. In the same way that I "could" use a 480p screen at 40" and it would physically work. But I wouldn't choose to.

It's the internet grammar goes out the window, sorry I tend to rush type when I am on forums.
