Any difference between 1440p and 1080p?

[Little Songbird]

I have a I7 10750H RTX 2060 6GB laptop and I am always thinking is there any difference between 1440p and 1080p

My laptop is 15.6 inch and from what I know, 4K and 1440p gaming are for 27+ inch monitors, and 1080p is best for 22-25 inch monitors.

1440p should give a lot of visual improvement compared to 1080p, but because my laptop monitor is 1920x1080 15.6 inch, it won’t make a huge difference right?

1440p allows to have much more content on screen. You are getting about 75% more pixels compared to 1080p.

I was amazed at difference when I first got my 1440p monitor. My next step is 4k monitor, most likely LG CX48

Yea I understand that 1440p and 4K looks a lot better in those larger monitors but for my case with 15.6 inch monitor in my laptop, will it make that much of a difference?

Anyway hope you can get what you want soon, the 4K gaming monitor

Resolution isn't the only determining factor in how good a picture looks. The overall panel quality matters like colour bit depth and if it's TN, IPS, VA or OLED etc.

I don't recommend 4K on a laptop. aside from the improvement in picture clarity, it's more taxing on the system. things like fps, gpu/cpu power, display fluidness (Hz), battery power, etc. are all effected.

on a desktop, i'd go for 1440 ultra widescreen instead of 4k. because there really aren't any (or many) 4K monitors with 60Hz+ refresh - and in my opinion - higher refresh triumphs picture resolution (for gaming anyway). there are a lot more 1440p monitors with 100Hz+ to choose from and is a good compromise between 1080 and 4K resolution.

24-27" 2560 x 1440
27-34" 3440 X 1440
34-38" 3840 x 1600

That's my preference until 4K 100Hz+ monitors show up.

thanks for the replay, I will look it up on what those things are later

I I might flip the question around. Are you sick of 1080p? Sure, 1440p is an improvement. On a tiny screen it might be hard to see it on a 15 inch screen. Whether you can or not just depends on your particular sensitivity and tolerances.

I'm running 1440p and 1080p (both 27") side by side. And 1080p doesn't look bad. I just get more screen space on 1440p. And more pixels does help things look nicer. Not, "oh my god, how did I live before", nicer. But nicer sure. At least a 27" inches.

the higher the resolution the lower the FPS i wouldnt expect 4k on a 6GB laptop
video card would fair well @ 2k in game gonna tank it pretty hard already

With 15.6" laptop display 1080p is pretty good. The difference with higher resolution is rather marginal due to screen size imo. Display quality is a lot more important factor at least for my eyes with laptops.

i misunderstood thought he was going to get a 2k monitor.yes your correct no point in
upscaling on a 15inch screen

[_I_]

for the laptop stick to a 1080p display

the mobile 2060 will have trouble holding games at 1440p60

[🦜Cloud Boy🦜]

For a display as small as 15.6", there is no noticeable different between 1080p vs 1440p or any higher resolutions. The image quality will be same, unless you use a magnifying glass to spot the difference.

on the 15 or smaller 1440p display the pixels will be blended together

Same here, I got the same size monitor (24", as I wanted pixel density more important than the resoultion number), and it was amazing, 1080p looks like 800x600 in comparison.

I am looking to get a 24" 2160p monitor, but I can't find any decent ones, so I'll have to get a 27", which is a little disipointing.

You will see a few gains, mostly pointless though.
But, you do what the pixel density so high you can't see pixels.

2k is 1920x1080p.

Idk about that, people are able to spot improvements on phones, and they're 5"-8" screens at around (1440x)2560p, resulting in 400 or so PPI.
People can see a difference, people will see a difference, only thing is, user - if the person has bad eyes, doesn't care, or doesn't understand, they may not see, but there are people that can see.

I was told when getting my monitor, don't buy 1440p at 24 inches, there is no improvement, I later got a 27 inch, and there is a decent difference.
I also seen 2160p at 30 inches in person, and it seems like a great improvement, I'm willing to bet 2160p at 27" will be too.

Try using netflix on a phone and you won't spot a difference .it is a gimmick to make you pay more for something that your eyes can't differentiate

Because scummy netflix limits all video streaming to 720p - unless you use their smart tv (not a pc or phone) with a dedicated netflix app

They don't tell you that anywhere and you pay extra for 4k that you won't even be allowed to see
