Monitors at lower resolutions than native?

[Edward78]

I just heard on a discord (not hardware) that if you are below native res., monitors are blurry. This doesn't sound right.

Depends on what resolution the monitor is, what resolution you are running, and how good the scaling settings of your monitor are.

E.g. running a 4k (3840x2160) monitor at 1920x1080 is fine, as each pixel is just doubled in both directions.

If the resolution doesn't divide evenly, then that is when you potentially end up with blurriness

Oh, so not all lower reses, just ones that don't fit the screen right will be blurry. I am thinking of getting a LG - UltraGear 32GR93U-B, on a vid. it was 2 on a list of top 6 of 2024. My GPU is a RTX 3060ti 8Gig. So no games at native res.
