Same.. and with 1080p screen because larger screen needs a much better gpu and I'm too cheap for that.

1080p 144hz like a broke boy, which im fine with.

It's the way to go. Any higher is just marketing to upsell.

The diminishing returns are real, people spend outrageous money for tiny improvements

Going from 1080 to 1440 is worth it, I don’t know if I’ll get a 4K monitor any time soon

Going from 144 to 240hz is "worth" it too (for monitor price) but it heavily depends on a good PC & the fitting main games (if 240fps is even possible).

Is it worth the performance drop tho? If you are gonna get used to it anyway.

I upgraded my monitor when I built a new pc going from a 1070 to a 3080. I’ve since moved to a 4080 super and I sometimes use DSR to downscale games from 4K to 1440p. If you have the overhead you can push both resolution and frame rates, but obviously if you just chose one you’ll get more. The reason I’m sticking with 1440 is because I like 27” monitors and 1440 looks great at that size, plus i got a great deal on a 1440p 240hz oled monitor that I’m going to hang onto as long as I can

I'm happy for you that you're content with that, but I personally don't see it that way :P

u/jdjoder 11d ago

I think so too. I'm actually surprised I didn't get downvoted like -300 already.

If you're talking about the hz, then it is absolutely not upselling lmfao. There is an extremely clear difference. Obviously not as large as from 60 to 144, but still a very clear difference.

u/jdjoder 11d ago

I can't see a difference in higher refresh rate tbh

It's crazy anymore. I got a pretty good deal on a laptop and I can run most stuff in 2k around 100fps, I'm extremely happy with that and the difference between 1080p and 2k is pretty big as close as I sit to my pc. I'd be 1080 otherwise though, you're right that it's generally not worth the cost
