I have 2 1080p ASUS monitors, but they're only 1 1/2 years old so I'm not even thinking about replacing them yet

If I had tons of cash to spare, then maybe I'd get a 4k monitor, but I'd more interested in getting something larger for 4k and 23" is a good size for a computer screen

I'm keeping an eye on the announced 24" 4K monitor from Dell.

Sure, I'd have to set Windows to zoom the characters and all that, but it will still look good. And if I ever get a GPU able to run games a that res, I won't have to use AA again.

Now that is interesting... I do have some issues with my 13" 1080p laptop where everything is too small in places, Windows doesn't do a hugely great job scaling with resolution yet, so hopefully they fix that by the time 24" monitors are actually at an affordable price

Been using my 27" Dell U2711 (2560 x 1440) monitor for awhile now and still works great! No need to upgrade.

I saw an article about a 4K monitor during these last few days and there was a pic showing the bin zoomed at 150% and 200 % by windows, and it was noted that it looked good.

I'll try to find it when I get back home.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Here's an example to illustrate my point: the GTX780Ti aka the strongest single GPU card on the market right now barely handles Crysis 3 aka the most demanding game on the market at 60FPS and still has frame drops below that.

So until current high end cards can handle every current game at 60FPS minimum on ultra and 1080p I'm fine with that resolution.

All cards will have fluctuations in frame rates but you're seeing a limitation to 60 fps because of a Vsync issue with Crysis 3, not because of the card themselves or the demands of the game.

Look at other games.
BioShock Infinite at 120 FPS at 2560 x 1440
Metro: Last Light at 75 FPS at 1920 x 1080
Tomb Raider at 55 FPS at 2560 x 1440
Battlefield 4 at 80 FPS at 1920 x 1080
Hitman: Absolution at 85 FPS at 2560 x 1440
Sleeping Dogs at 80 FPS at 2560 x 1440
Batman: AO at 100 fps at 2560 x 1600
CoD: Ghosts at 90 FPS at 2560 x 1600
Far Cry 3 at 70 FPS at 1920 x 1080

It's not the vsync. I don't play with vsync because of the input lag. Try Crysis 3 at  2560 x 1600. Barely makes it above 30 fps. Far Cry is another good example. Old game, newest card barely makes it. I know both Farcry and Crysis are poorly optimized but that doesn't matter. Games are now getting more demanding and some probably heavily optimized for AMD instead of Nvidia. It's not getting easier.

So 1080p is good for me now. It's also a plus because if I get used to a higher resolution I will get eyecancer from my PS4 like with my PS3 right now.

This.

Although I have hooked the lappy up to my TV (same resolution) so max I have used is 2732*768, but not for gaming. (obviously, as the TV is a bigger screen and would look daft)



kirby007 on 28 January 2014

1366*768 was the standard for 17''?
