We all have different tastes as gamers... So this question will never be clear cut.

But I definitely prefer image quality. A clean 1440P image will beat a 1080P one that uses every rendering trick to dress up a turd.

You game at a PC though, up real close. If you gamed on console at a distance I believe you would see things differently, like literally see things differently. Try gaming bavk 4 feet from your monitor and see how little that 1440p makes over 1080p.

I game on everything, I own everything.

I have a large computer monitor.. Not a small 27" or mid-sized 32". - So at 4 feet there is still a large discernible difference between 1440P and 1080P.
On my TV in the living room, I too can also see a massive difference between 1440P and 1080P.

1440P is just a superior resolution.

Don't take me as someone who is naive when it comes to gaming on other platforms, this is primarily a console gaming website, so obviously that is one of the draw cards of me being a part of this community.

However would you choose 1080p with ray traced lighting/shadows over 1440p with baked lighting/shadows?
1080p with PBR or 1440p with flat lighting?

We're not talking about dressing up turds, a turd would look even worse in 1440p :p

I would choose 1440P every single time... Especially with HDR and double especially if I get to run at 144hz or more.
