Resolution Reality
4K gets the glory, 1440p gets called the sweet spot, ultrawides have their own devoted following, and plenty of gamers are still happily crushing frames at 1080p. With monitors offering more choices than ever, everyone seems to land somewhere different.
On a scale of 1–10, how important is resolution when choosing a gaming monitor?
1 = “Give me the frames. The pixels can wait.”
10 = “If I can count the pixels, we have a problem.”

Finding the right balance of resolution and refresh rate without having to sell a kidney or your first born child is key.
