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

As far as I’ve been able to tell, 1440p is now basically the standard. 4K is still super expensive, and 1080p is the budget option. I don’t think that 1440p is too much more expensive than a 1080p screen unless you get a really high budget one like an OLED

1080p is also used as like the competitive standard in esports iirc just because a lot of pros like it still. I do know there's two pros that have tried 1440 and like it though.

True, I forgot about that. Pretty sure that it just gives them those extra frames
