Hi, anyone got first hand experience using both 1440p and moving to 4k? I was wondering which is the better option for gaming? Will be picking up a Fury X too.
4k 60 vs 1440p 144hz, budget £500

It's a topic of much debate.
The 4k crowd say that its incredible. The 144hz crowd say the same thing.
It's something that I think you need to see in person IMO, especially since your considering £500 for a monitor, that's a lot of bread son!
The only thing I can add is that I have used a 1080p 144hz monitor and it just felt like butter. Everything was smoother, even just moving the mouse on the desktop and browsing the internet.

Yeh that's why I was considering the Asus MG279Q
I used to have a 120hz screen and the difference was indeed impressive, got rid of it for a better picture.
One other simple thing to think about is how far away from the screen are you sitting.
I have a 29" 1440p but find myself actually playing at 1080p in some games because I can actually see what's going on without squinting
Can't begin to imagine how small 4k would be!

I've still to see a 120/144Hz monitor that didn't look washed out colour wise or brutal in brightness in comparison to a 60Hz model, image quality/angles suffer too much IMHO. I say that as an owner.
1440P wasn't a big enough jump for me, ultrawide might be and 4K would be but although I love how it looks I'm worried more about the panel longevity as so many people report problems 6 months down the line with banding etc. That might just be that initially they were so blown away they didn't notice it.
