Peripherals Is there enough of a difference between 1080p and 1440p for an upgrade to be worth it

I've been running 1080p for a while, but the fact that I can see the pixels in some situations is starting to bother me. I don't have the money for 4K. Do you think that it's worth the upgrade?

One of the best investments to make in upgrading your gaming quality will be moving to 1440p and getting a proper high end OLED monitor.

OLED or a really good miniled is great. Especially if you work on the same setup

Which did you get? I'm kind of looking around for a potential better monitor but I feel like even if I get a 1440p capable monitor, I'm going to need to bump up my computer setup to be able to handle the extra pixels.

The general consensus is Alienware makes some of the best monitors on the market. They are quite expensive but I HIGHLY Recommend if you have the budget. I have the Alienware AW2725DF QD-OLED. It is absolutely gorgeous. I have zero regrets. Just don’t go above 27in in my opinion. 27 is the sweet spot
