hi i regularly game on a rog swift my problem is my sight is not as good as a few yrs back i now need to wear glasses oh well old age creeping in (48 )
anyway i was wondering on going 4k to game on or will my detail on screen look smaller or should i go ips or maybe back to 1080 or widescreen i play a lot of arma 2 multiplayer and i dont seem to be able to see where people are etc.

any feedback would be much appreciated.

thanks

get this in BF4 i am on a 120hz 1080p 24inch panel and i too struggle to pick out people in the bushes. When i apply more AA it will becomes less of a problem but only really resolved at 4K.

This is why i am quite content to run a 1080p panel at 4K thanks to DSR. Can you try that to see if it helps? Older people 40+ should look for 1440p 120hz panels maybe.
 
if i was to go for this monitor would it benefit me form my current rog swift ?

i would like to go ips as i game leant back in my chair which changes my viewing angle . and 4k should give me a sharper image ?

ROG Swift is what specs? 1440p 120hz or 144hz? Can you not try using DSR with Nvidia to see the difference? You can simulate 4K sort of this way. That is the only thing that makes it easier too see people in games i think.


Awkward question because someone else will need to see if there is an IPS 4K panel suitable with high refresh rates. Having both if key but at the minute those choices are slim pickings.
 
If you have bad eyes i wouldn't recommend 4K, if you leave it at default the text is very small, you can enlarge it but what's the point, a nice 27" 2560 x 1440 IPS will be what you want, 1080p from a ROG swift will be like going from a Ferrari to a Skoda.
 
shouldnt wearing your glasses make your eyesight just as good as it was before? As long as you are wearing them, then your eyesight should be "normal" and as such any resolution or clarity upgrades will give you the exact same benefit as anyone else.

At higher res, you will need to change windows settings to do with scaling, but it should be fine if you are running win 10. In game, higher res may or may not make it easier to pick things out, sometimes it does, sometimes it changes whether anything is actually shown when someone is hiding behind a box etc.

In battlefield, each one gets more visually noisey, so turning settings down (in most games) will help with visual noise, and you have to process less visually and can pick out things better. Although then it looks like bum.
