I hate how 1440p is misleadingly labelled 4k. Actual 2K is closer to 1080p, if I remember it's 2000 horizontal resolution (close to 1920 of 1080p). I will upgrade to 1440p, but when the 1080ti/Vega are released and with one of those great 144Hz G-sync/FreeSync monitors which are currently pricey, but gettting cheaper. My next upgrade needs to be higher framerate, not just resolution. But that's just me and what I want. For other folks, I guess they'll be good upgrading to 1440p60 with a 1080/1070.

1440p 144Hz here.
Used to be oin 3840x2160, but swapped it in favor of 144Hz.

I'm actually a little surprised that 3440x1440 is more popular than 3840x2160

It's perfectly fine for my needs. I refuse to buy a new monitor until I'm not locking myself into one GPU vendor or another for adaptive sync.

Yeah the g\free sync thing is irritating, essentially if you splash out on a monitor you're stuck with that gpu vendor if you want to continue using it or have to sell the screen on to get a different one.

Then just get a non-adaptive sync one. They're cheaper and if you're happy with 60hz and 60+ fps then you don't really need that feature anyway. I can't see nvidia dropping that stranglehold anytime soon, it's just not their style (their style is greed by the shed load).

1440p is never labelled 4k ?? its always been known has 2k or WQHD
