Hi all,
My 27" 1440p Dell monitor recently died on me after 5 years of service. I'm using a cheap 1080p as a replacement for the time being, but having been used to 1440p for so long, the lack of definition is driving me nuts!
I want to pick up a new monitor that is going to last me a long while, and I've been reading up on 4k monitors and the potential for single next graphics cards to power games at this resolution. I do intend to upgrade my GPU in the next year or so.
Current I have a 280X, so my question basically is: should I pick up a decent 4k screen to future proof myself? If so, how does playing games at 1080p look on 4k screens (I know it won't look better, but is it comparable to playing it on a 1080p screen)? I've done some research, but haven't yet found anyone who's able to confirm an answer first hand.
