Forums - Gaming Discussion - I joined the 1440p race

I hadn't planned but while usual browsing tech sites and forums I learned that there is this insane deal - AOC 1440p 75Hz 31.5 inch IPS monitor for ~200 euro/usd, so I sold my old 27 inch 1080p AOC and got it (AOC Q3279VWFD8):

Right off the bat I noticed that the image quality was much better than my old monitor, so that was good, the 1440p is impressive especially in games, and the 75Hz/fps is a nice little bonus over 60Hz in games, but I have one problem with it - it is just too big LOL I never thought it could be a problem but 31.5 inch is just too much for monitor. I have used it for one week and still can't get used to the screen size. Even when gaming with controller or watching vids I want to slide back more and more. Anyway I just wanted to let others know about this insane deal, the competition is twice the price and up.

Nice. I will choose 4K/60fps in April but 1440p and 75fps is dope.



oh it even has a small range of adaptive synch (48Hz-75Hz) if your pc falls a bit short of 75fps



Not a bad choice for that price, and you even get the 75HZ support to boot over 60.

When I upgraded to 1440p, I immediately noticed the the upgrade in visual quality, while I took a bit of time getting used to going above 60. Definitely well worth the buy though.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Nice! I bought my 32" 1440p monitor about three years ago with my new rig, it really is a huge step up from 1080p. And it's nowhere near as taxing as 4K resolution.

You'll get used to the size eventually. When I upgraded from a 42" to 55" TV it seemed way too big but now I feel like I could handle a 60". Enjoy.

Yes, it is surprising to me that 1440p is not that taxing.

Well TV is different, but I think the optimal monitor size is 24 inch.

Nice! I have the opposite problem as you in that I wish there were more plentiful larger monitors/TVs that displayed 1440p. I use my computer from a recliner a few feet from a wall-mounted 42 inch 1080p TV. I definitely don't want to go down in size. If anything, I'd want to increase to somewhere in the range of 49-50 inches. But at that point we're into TV-only territory, and those generally go straight to 4K, which my video card can generally handle, but not necessarily for very long going forward. Would love a larger 1440p display.
