OLED 1440P or 4K IPS

w00dy85 · 2025-01-29T11:27:26+0000

I thinking of swapping my 4 year Dell S2721DGA, it's served my well as a gaming monitor. But I have the upgrade itch and have been thinking of going Oled 1440p or 4K IPS as these types of monitor cost around the same price and it's about what I paid for my current Dell monitor.

So what I'm asking, is what is the general consensus of which is better and what would you go for?

As a general proposition OLED all day long.

If all you do is productivity, like spreadsheets, then 4K.

Bottom end of 4K OLED is near 1440p OLED in pricing

I have this Philips, and it is as good as any other 4K QD-OLED, zero complaints

I was going to say I think also size should be a factor, as the screen gets bigger the resolution becomes more of a factor, so 27" 1440p vs 4k is quite different to 32" 1440p vs 4k I think.

I'm sticking with 27" screen as I am limited with space, otherwise I would have an ultra wide monitor like my son has in his bedroom.

Also screen size doesn't bother me much, as I have VR

I've had both and OLED 1440p all day (gaming usage).

4K was IPS at 32", while the image was certainly nice and crisp the downsides of IPS meant it could not compete, vs the colours, motion clarity, true blacks, and contrast against OLED (34" U/W). Also the performance hit of 4K was a lot to deal with and not worth it. Had the 4K for a year, but I had to admit to myself I got it wrong, sold it and bought the OLED. There's some management but nothing that feels annoying really, run the pixel shift, get rid of icons and taskbar onto 2nd screen, set the wallpaper to change every few minutes.

It's looking like OLED is the way to go.

The main games I play are world of warship, L4D2, Fortnite, and I IL-2 sturmovik in VR which really pushes the 7900XTX

Isn't the 34" 1440p version that that screen about £500? or at least it was for a while but then everyone bumped it up a couple of hundred. Big price difference for 4k and 240hz.
I'm waiting for it to hit that price again.
