1080P Vs 1440P Gaming Monitors

I got rid of my bulky 1080ti desktop tower, and replaced it with a gaming laptop. I still wanted a nice screen(I had 1440p 144hz, but downgraded to 1080p 144hz), so I wanted a hassle free way of connecting my laptop and get all the accessories with just one cable. This is perfect for my needs. The listing doesn't mention high refresh rate monitors, but it is compatible. I tried two different monitors(1440p and 1080p, both GSYNC and 144hz), works perfectly. The only thing this doesn't do is charge my gaming laptop(understandably). It does charge lower power hogging machines like MBP/MBA, but I don't currently have a Mac with TB3. So instead of one cable, I have to plug in a TB3 and Power cable to my laptop to make it a Desktop, but it's still VERY GOOD compared to what I had to plug in before.

Hard to beat a good ViewSonic monitor. This might be the best value at 1080P 165hz! If it's anything like my past VS monitors, it'll last you 10+ years!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been on the market for a gaming monitor. I wanted something that wasn’t just HDR compatible, was high refresh rate, at least 30”, and 1440p. I was upgrading from a 144Hz, 1080p monitor that was 37”, way too big for 1080p. I saw the 32” G7 in a store and ordered it shortly after. This monitor is everything I was wanting. I didn’t think I’d like the curvature of the display, but I think it helps further envelope me in games. The refresh rate is more than ample for my needs. My desktop won’t be driving AAA games at 240Hz, but Nvidia G-sync helps with that. Colors are vibrant for a standard LCD panel and the 1440p resolution is just enough for gaming without stressing my system by pushing 4K. The built-in speakers are serviceable. They have RGB lighting that is controlled via the monitor itself. I would like to plug it in via USB and have an app for controlling it, but the OSD is fine. There’s also an RGB light ring on the back. It would also have been nice if it adapted to whatever the monitor was displaying. But those are two small complaints in an otherwise great monitor that will suit my needs for years.

UPDATE: I've been with this card for almost 2 months now. And here is my final report after watching a few other AMD card like the interesting RX 7900GRE roll out. I remain ecstatic with this card. IMO it is the definitive GPU for 1080P-1440P gaming. I couldn't be more pleased with the benchmarks I'm getting in tests and in games. For example: Horizon Zero Dawn, Dark Siders 2, Crysis 2, Halo Legendary, Mass Effect Legendary and Kingdom of Amalur Reckoning are beyond beautiful games. They are magical! And all scale & play seamlessly at well over 200 FPS in 1080P on ultra settings. 1080P is my resolution of choice for up close PC gaming (new & old games). And this Gigabyte GPU, paired with my new AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is just unbeatable price-value-performance for maxed out AM4 gaming IMO. I am literally excited to play my entire library of Steam/XBox/EA games all over again with this setup. I am also going to snag a BenQ 34Mobius 1080P/1440P monitor with HDR, 400nits, 179HZ etc to fully max out this set up. And be satisfied for years to come.

The king of 1440p gaming. I have no idea what else could be done to make a better monitor.

Fantastic upgrade from 27 1440p monitors. Games well too.

I waited years for HDMI 2.1 to roll out so when I upgraded from my 1080p projector to a 4K TV, I could get 120Hz and HDR for gaming. This TV finally fits the bill, and I'm loving it. Image quality is great, color accuracy seems to be roughly on par with my calibrated IPS monitors in Gamer mode, and input lag is pretty solid - feels closer to my 1ms 240Hz monitor than my 5ms 75Hz monitor, even in 60Hz mode. I was able to get 4K 120Hz working on my HDMI 2.0b 1080 Ti graphics card, and 4:2:0 chroma subsampling looks fine while I wait for proper HDMI 2.0 devices and receivers to roll out. Games look great in 4K and with dynamic resolutions outputting at 4K, but 1440p looks muddier than 1080p on this display since the pixels don't match up; for the average gamer, I'd recommend running games at 1080p or 1440p with 4K image output via Radeon or Nvidia Image Sharpening. Don't bother outputting 1440p to this thing. Switch, PS4, PS3 and XB1 games look great on this TV, and the videos I've watched also look solid. Be sure to set both regular and HDR modes to Gamer, they default to something like Vivid and it looks smeary. One and only complaint I have is that the backlight is a little obvious when you're displaying a black image with a white cursor overlaid on top. Might be able to reduce the effect by fiddling with the backlight settings, though, and black levels and brightness are both great, so it's a worthy trade-off. You also don't have to worry about burn-in like with OLED TVs since this is using an IPS panel. This should last me this upcoming console generation and hopefully further, without me feeling like I'm missing out. Overall, this is a highly recommended TV, especially if you're getting a new one for the PS5 or Xbox Series X.

This is great! I have two 1440p monitors running at 144hz off my 2019 16 MBP. Both are plugged into the two USB-C/Thunderbolt ports on the right side of my MacBook Pro.

Great card paired with 2 LG 27 1440p monitors love this card and the rgb

I've been ordering these monitors for work, every time a new hire starts, and they've been awesome so far. The sharpness of 1440p is perfect for employees or people who aren't content creators and just want sharper text or to be able to fit more on the screen. I would normally choose 4K but it's just not necessary for most people and 1440p (2K or QHD) is the sweet spot for performance and quality. I love the sleek black design and they're super quick to set up and get running. They come with both HDMI and DisplayPort cables which is nice to have the option. Overall this is a fantastic monitor and if you can find it on sale, it's even better.
