Monitors don't work well at a non-native resolution so 1080p will look horrid on a 1440p monitor.
There is a new crop of 240hz 1080p montiors getting launched by a few companies really soon. IMHO 22"/24" is best for 1080p from a dpi perspective, but 27" will look more special for gaming just not very nice for office work. Make sure to get an IPS screen as TN is dull as hell. I think Dell have an Alienware 27 coming soon that is IPS, 240hz and 27". The AW2720HF
As far as I know the playstation 4 doesn't do 1440p the ps5 is right around the corner and I have no doubt that it will do 1440p but because it will be backwards compatible with ps4 games I will still be playing a lot of my old games at 1080p so maybe I would be just better off getting a 1080p gaming monitor I just hope I pick a really good one lol
It doesn’t work like that. If the PS5 can output 1440p then your old 1080p games will get upscale to 1440p so they will look nice
if you still want 1080p IMHO that Alienware looks amazing on paper and the reviews in the manufacturer website look amazing. I would buy one if I was in the market for 1080p on a 27” mainly for console use
Thanks for creating this thread. Mine should be arriving later this week so will try it out.
I saw you have a 2070S for a 3 monitor setup which means a 2060S should be good enough to drive a single at full resolution right?
No. of monitors doesn't affect load actually as it's just outputs. Depends what you want game you want to run whether you'll get the full 144hz at 1440p.
Is this a good all rounder, I've been going round in circles trying to decide which monitor to go for and to be honest I'm still unsure if 24 or 27 is the best option, I am a true all rounder in terms of use in that I play some games badly they don't tend to be first person shooters (I loved Battlefield 2 but I'm just to slow to keep up in BF1) but thins like World of tanks/ Warships, Elite, FSX, occasionally GTA with some good old word-processing and a bit of you tube viewing, I guess the larger screen size might help with less than perfect eye sight.
Current monitor is a LG 21 60Hz vga panel, rig is 6950x with Titan (Pascal) Sli so should have the power to drive 1440 @ 144hz I hope!

Thanks Reitsy for making this.
Ive had my monitor for nearly a month now, tested a variety of settings. Your suggestions seem to be the best across a variety of use cases.
It really is a fantastic monitor.

Hi
Thought I would post my settings for these amazing monitors, which work pretty well across all 3 of my monitors. They are all connected to my 2070 Super using 3m DisplayPort 1.4 cables. Every monitor is slightly different so these settings may not work for you but they gave me the best blend of look and feel in games, web browsing and clarity when working in Excel spreadsheets.
I use them in a medium lit room during the day for mainly work and in the evenings in a dimly lit room with one fllor lamp in the corner.
If I miss out any settings below that are on the menus it's because I didn't feel they either warranted reporting on or that I left them on default settings.
Game Mode Profile:
Game Adjust:
- Gamer 1
Picture Adjust:
- Adaptive-Sync : On
- Black Stabilizer : 40 (reduced from default of 50 as it helped make blacks more black instead of grey)
- Response Time : Fast
General:
- Brightness : 30-40 (reduced from default of 100)
- Contrast : 70 (default)
- Sharpness : 50 (default)
- Gamma : Mode 2 (default)
- Color Temp : Custom (default)
- R/G/B : 54/48/50 (these made the picture feel a little warmer than the default of 50/50/50 but I still tinker with them every now and again and these are more your personal taste on how warm/cold you like your whites and colours)
- DFC : Off (default)
- Smart Energy Saving : Off (change from On)
- Power LED : On (this lights up the joystick under the front bezel)
- Automatic Standby : 8h
- Displayport 1.4 : Enable
In Windows I use the Generic driver for the screens as I didn't trust the one on LGs website as they had two drivers with no descripotion and both were pretty old. I also played around in the Colour Management section looking at different .ICC and .ICM profiles but for the life of me I couldn't tell any difference between them so left as default.
In the nVidia Control Panel I left everything as default apart from for GSync setting where I selected it to be enabled both for full-screen and windowed as I play most games windowed or I find that the game will minimise to the taskbar when I click on one of the other monitors during game play.
Finally I have one of the 3 screens also connected via HDMI into my laptop. On that screen I use the sRGB Game Mode Profile for HDMI with no changes to any other settings as that is what my laptop uses and I wanted the colours to match on both. When I flick to DP it uses the same setting as above. This is an amazing feature of the monitor which I don't recall having on other panels but I am sure other companies probably do ... the ability to have different brightness, color and other settings depending on the input selected.
Intrigued to see other people's setup and why but as I said each panel is different, each use of the monitor by the user is different and more importantly we all have different perception of colour, light etc. But hope this may help if you really don't like what it looks like out of the box
@REITSY SO i got this monitor about a month ago, but it had bad uniformity. One side of the screen was a warm white, and the other was a cool white...
Anyway, i noticed there was a setting that would let me change a lot of colours Hue / intensity. Which was great to tone down the reds. There was a list of colours, including cyan, and yellow. Anyway, i sent it back and got a replacement, which is much better, but the setting isn't there?????? I will contact LG and see what they say, but does anyone else have any idea about this?

Thanks for this. I ordered one about a week ago (no stock sadly) but when it arrives I'll try out your settings and see how it goes.
there's an update to get the monitor to 160?

No, my bad, wrong monitor, sorry.
