3840x1080 at 60%?

1920x1080 not in the list?

I'd of expected that to be the most popular.

It looks sharper when you're staring at edges, it's not really all that noticeable when playing a game and looking around at all. 4k will probably go mainstream, but not because it makes sense, more as a "fuck it why not".

I have a 27" 2160p and 27" 1440p monitor side by side to each other and 4k looks much sharper all the time, let's not be dishonest here.

Side to side yeah lmao. But with a normal ips monitor, with normal pixel response times, regular 120hz, you'll barely notice it if you're not actively looking for it or trying to compare. It's not that complicated of a concept

That's your opinion and it's wrong but ok. This is like arguing about 30 vs 60 fps with a console pleb in 2011.

Hahaha, you're comparing me with a console pleb. Buddy, I've been a gamer all my life, I'm an expert IT systems and devices. The difference between 1440p and 4k within a game is negligible.

Lol okay grandpa let's get you to bed. In IT sure, an expert? Not sure. Maybe you just have bad eyes.

Damn bro guess you'll just have to take away my degree and certificates
