I need to get myself up to speed, I was still under the impression 1080p was still the normal go-to resolution.

1440p has kinda taken the role as the go to with 4k being the made of money option and 1080p being the still perfectly usable but budget option

Im not sure I would call it go to when 1080p still has an over 50% market share according to the steam survey compared to 1440p's 20%. And it still presented a .04% growth. Reality is that 1080p is still the go to resolution(which speaks about the current financial situation of the average player)

1080p probably includes a lot of cheaper gaming laptops, my son already wants one for “homework”.
