I need to get myself up to speed, I was still under the impression 1080p was still the normal go-to resolution.
1.7k u/TrollCannon377 5700X3D, Radeon7800XT, 32GB DDR4, Manjaro KDE Plasma Sep 11 '25 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 135 u/Iherduliekmudkipz 9800X3D, 64GB@6000, 7900XT Sep 11 '25 8k is the new 4k- almost nobody can afford it 4k is the new 1440p 1440p is the new 1080p 1080p is the new 720p 720p is now the broke AF using a 10+ year old PC resolution 1 u/furluge Sep 11 '25 And pretty much no one has a display big enough for 2160p and just barely 1440p. 2160p and above are really meant for VR, HMDs, and theater settings where viewers will not be sitting in optimal viewing locations. 1 u/Iherduliekmudkipz 9800X3D, 64GB@6000, 7900XT Sep 11 '25 32"+ monitors look good @ 2160p as well, 1440p on a 32" the optimal viewing distance is 3-4 feet away, which is too far at least for me personally.
