It was the best if I bought a 1,080p full HD monitor → 1,440p WQHD!

This is the best upgrade to do right away!

It is the easiest way to create a more powerful work space and entertainment space to create a more powerful environment by replacing the personal computer body, but is it surprisingly overlooked in the display upgrade?The TOM MCKAY reporter of the Gizmodo editorial department has recently shifted the environment from a 1,080p full HD monitor to a 1,440p WQHD monitor, which seemed to be good.

When I buy a PC, I am a type that is several years later than the surroundings.I have never bought the latest and strongest specifications.Rather, I've been trying to get the parts that are used, used, and parts during bargain sales.Whether it's a CPU or a peripheral device such as RAM, graphics cards, speakers and displays.

For example, my PC sound system is a set of Blu-ray players and speakers of Samsung (Samsung) made in 2012.I was quite struggling to install the driver.The gaming mouse uses second -hand goods that have been dropped at the online auction, and the HDD dates back to 2013.Until last week, even the main monitor was only a standard resolution that was almost 10 years ago.

However, finally, I said goodbye to the 1,920 x 1,080 pixel resolution monitor, and I purchased a monitor with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels in Dell's 32 -inch "SG3220DGF". is. Here, don't touch on DELL monitors. Of course, DELL's product is not bad. What I would like to emphasize this time is that if you have used a 1,080p full HD monitor for work and play for years, you will want to tell you that it is the timing of the transition. rice field. Surely 1,080p is the best option, should some gamers who buy a graphics card for more than 70,000 yen should be used with higher resolution? You may feel like I, but I'm sorry but I have to admit losing. I noticed that the main monitor environment could no longer be set up in 1,080p.

Why I was doing a full HD monitor

Let's follow the changes in my monitor environment so far.

First of all, there were two low -resolution monitors, 1,680 x 1,050 pixels.The monitor called "X193W+BD" purchased in 2009 is still in use.On the other hand, when I lived in the Florida dormitory somewhere from 2007 to 2011, I found and used Dell -made monitors until I was moving in 2018.I was alive.

In July 2018, he purchased ACER's "GN246HL" as a 24 -inch 1,080P gaming monitor.However, in September 2018, I purchased a VIOTEK "GN32C" with a 144 Hz refresh rate as a 32 -inch 1080p monitor.

This means that from 2007 to 2018, the monitor for about 10 years has not been replaced for about 10 years, but finally shifted to a full HD monitor in 2018.The resolution is 69 ppi, even on the 32 -inch large screen display that we finally purchased.Until recently, you were satisfied with the old three monitors.

But this has some reason.I was convinced that the resolution of 1,080p was the best.I didn't need a higher resolution for my daily work.At the same time, if it is a 1,080p monitor, it is not a problem for the game to set the largest frame rate in such a reasonable hardware environment.Until 2018, the old monitor of 60-75Hz refreshed rate did not reach the limit of the frame rate.In September 2018, it was a very outdated shopping for many gamers to buy a 32 -inch full HD monitor, but it was the best treasure for me.

By the way, it is not that only me is going against the times extremely.How much of a very common PC gamer is actually using hardware of the specifications?What has become clear from reviews in recent years is the gap between ideal and reality.The average consumer will not buy a new product as soon as the manufacturer comes out of a new product.If anything, buying after waiting for a few generations is typical if you are not a very rich user.

Steam Hardware Survey's survey found that 67.29 % of users, more than two -thirds, are using 1,080p as the main monitor environment as of February this year.42 % of users still only use NVIDIA's 10th generation video cards, and the number of 57.5 % users CPU cores are still less than 4 cores.

I moved to 1,440p and woke up!

However, once the main environment has been shifted to a 1,440p WQHD monitor, it is no longer possible to return to a 1,080p full HD monitor.Why have you been particular about 1,080p so far ...?

In fact, until I tried using it, I thought that there was no big difference between a 32 -inch display of 1,080p and the same 32 -inch display to 1,440p.At first, the font size on the 1,440p screen took a long time to get used to it, but when you get used to it, it seems that the only thing that is good for the eyes is 1,440p.After all, the amount of information displayed about 1.8 times that of 1080p is different for 1,440p.This was a difference that was more powerful in gameplay than I thought.

On the other hand, in terms of hardware burden, it is not as difficult as trying to play game play on a 4K monitor.If you feel that you can't spend 50,000 yen or 60,000 yen for the graphics card, don't make a 4K monitor an option.But trying to enjoy the game comfortably with a 1,440p resolution will be enough with moderate hardware.If you are enjoying the game in a 1,080p environment now, why don't you just upgrade your PC?

On the other hand, if the hardware performance of the PC is not catching up, if you use a 4K monitor, you may drop the resolution and display it, but it is better to display it in the 1,440p monitor.That's good.Conversely, if you continue to use 1,080p, recent games are complicated, so unless you have introduced rendering technology such as NVIDIA's Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) and AMD's Virtual Super Resolution (VSR), the edge is jagged.The display will be noticeable.

There are other things that have been replaced with this monitor. If you are using a 1,080p monitor, you will have a TN method and IPS panel that tends to be less drawn performance than the actual resolution. However, with the 1,440p monitor, in the last few years, VA -type panels have been used as usual for general prices models. The brightness, contrast, and colors are very bright and beautiful, and there is no problem that the backlight leaks. For example, if you want to play a "Stalker: Anomaly" game in a 32 -inch VIOTEK 1,080p monitor, a game of "Stalker: Anomaly" leaks from the screen top gaps. I felt like looking at the sky that had been applied to the fog. Of course, when it comes to a new Dell monitor, it may be that there is no backlight leak, but it seemed that it was no longer a great difference.

Now is the time to move to an environment of 1,440p

This time, I bought a DELL monitor for $ 380 (about 41,400 yen).I feel that it was relatively expensive.Most 1,440p monitors should be able to buy at this price below.RTINGS.COM's models of this winter model had a lot of $ 300 in the Japanese yen, about $ 30,000.Even if you choose a cheaper model, users who have been using the 1,080p monitor released around 2015 will be impressed that they are much better.Even with used and reference models, the 1,440p monitor is now quite popular, so you can find something good.

I am a type that cannot be thrown away.Because it is a character that cannot be abandoned or sold out old hardware, all of the three old monitors so far remain at hand.If there is no problem with the number of ports of the graphics card, the quad monitor environment will be aligned.Even though the extreme cases are rare, I think that you will be able to build a comfortable multi -screen desktop environment while keeping the 1,080P monitor now and keeping the purchased 1,440p monitor in the main environment!

The 1,080p monitor is still not out of date and can still be used.For more than 10 years, it boasts a performance that makes 1,080p enough, and it will be for a while.Since 1080p is not useful, there is no need to buy a new one immediately.However, if you need to buy a new one, you should not buy a 1,080p monitor again.I completely changed my mind.The times are 1,440p.
