Yikes. Another great decision by me to avoid 4k gaming. Throw so much money and get so little back.

I've actually thought about getting a 4K monitor... so that I can use 1080p for games and still have 4K for other use. 4K is exactly twice as wide and tall as 1080p, so theoretically is should scale perfectly, right? Not sure if it works that way in practice though, and I still have bad memories of using 720p on a 1080p monitor due to scaling issues, so I'm very wary of scaling issues (although I'm not sure how bad it could be on a 4K monitor anyway).

I'd say you need some sort of an upscaling tech to help it if you want to render at 1080p. One of the differences between TVs and Monitors is monitors usually don't come with any processors that does upscaling where as TVs come with specialized processors that can upscale to TVs resolution. Of course the difference is that monitors have significantly lower input lag/response times but TVs these days also come with gaming mode which when enabled, will minimize the processing but allow you that lower input lag/response times.

But that's why people are excited about DLSS as it does a very good job at upscaling from a lower resolution.
