What's resolution are your monitors?

Post by biffstudly »

The question is exactly what the title says? Are you rockin' a 1080p monitor? still doing 720? Are you a madman with more money than common sense and an 8k video wall?

I'm curious from a youtuber perspective, because I usually strive to capture games upscaled to at least 1440p and I wonder how necessary that really is. Sometimes it can make it sound like my graphics card is going to explode. And frankly, I've been doing Twilight Princess in 4k and my computer hates me so much for not only rendering that, and applying filters but also recording the footage on top.

Idk, I figured this'd be a good place to ask, I mean everybody's gotta be lookin' at a screen to get here, right?

Anyways I'll go first,

My current setup is a 24" 1080p 165hz from Acer (1ms GTG), a 28" 2160p (4k) 60hz from ASUS (1ms GTG), and a 24" 1440p (2k) 75hz from Lenovo (4ms GTG).

I'm wildly spoiled, but I also got everything second hand and haggled my way down in price a lot. My most expensive monitor was the 4k one at 110 canadian dollars.

So whatcha rockin' out there PCKF?

1920x1080. It's a good balance between having a decent amount of screen real estate, and actually being able to see the pixels.

1920x1200 right now, but I can change that to whatever I want. (Virtual monitor on a VR headset.)

All physical monitors in the house, smartphones excluded, are also 1920x1080, except for the TV (3840x2160) and the built-in monitor on my old (currently out-of-action) handheld PC (1920x1200). The standalone dedicated monitors are all 24".

1080p on laptop, 720p on phone.
