3840x1080 at 60%?
1920x1080 not in the list?
I'd of expected that to be the most popular.

I'm surprised 4K monitor adoption is still under 4%, less than 1366x768 laptop resolution. I guess I was blinded by graphics card marketing, most can't really afford to shell out for 4K yet.
It's not that most people can't pay for it, sure, a lot can't. It's also just that 4k doesn't really make sense for gaming over 1440p on a 27inch screen.
I mean it definitelyooks sharper even at that size but for the cost to performance hit it's not currently worth it over 1440 for sure. Maybe in another 5-10 years 4k will be more worth it.
It looks sharper when you're staring at edges, it's not really all that noticeable when playing a game and looking around at all. 4k will probably go mainstream, but not because it makes sense, more as a "fuck it why not".
I have a 27" 2160p and 27" 1440p monitor side by side to each other and 4k looks much sharper all the time, let's not be dishonest here.
Side to side yeah lmao. But with a normal ips monitor, with normal pixel response times, regular 120hz, you'll barely notice it if you're not actively looking for it or trying to compare. It's not that complicated of a concept
That's your opinion and it's wrong but ok. This is like arguing about 30 vs 60 fps with a console pleb in 2011.
Hahaha, you're comparing me with a console pleb. Buddy, I've been a gamer all my life, I'm an expert IT systems and devices. The difference between 1440p and 4k within a game is negligible.
Lol okay grandpa let's get you to bed. In IT sure, an expert? Not sure. Maybe you just have bad eyes.
Damn bro guess you'll just have to take away my degree and certificates
You should get your eyes checked for real. Certificates or not your wrong. 👍 even you aren't infallible.
Ps. You are definitely wrong lol, you don't need a degree to know this you just need a 4k and 1440p monitor side by side, which I have. Also my PC can definitely drive the 4k display (7800x3d 4090). So you can tell me what you want but my eyes and real world are telling me you are 1,000% wrong. You are evidence you don't need to be smart to get a degree. Literally 50% more pixel density on 27" screen and you think it's not noticable. Jesus Christ. Haha your professors should feel bad
