How would 1440p upscale to 4k?

nehalpatel30 · Jul 28, 2014

I'm planning on buying a 4k monitor soon, and I'm wondering how does 1440 upscale to 4k? I'm only going to use the 4k for video streaming, but the 1440 for some gaming. Will the images come out blurry. I know 1080p scales up with 4k, but there are a couple of games I want to play in 1440p.

1440p will upscale better than 1080p because it's a higher resolution. There should be no problem as long as the output is the same aspect ratio as your monitor.

Not true, 1080p will upscale better because it's converting 1 pixel coming out of the video card to 4 pixels on screen. With 1440p it's going to 3 pixels, which you can't make a perfect square (pixel) from, so the monitor/gpu does some scaling, etc.

Good post about what 1080p looks like on a 4k display
How does 1080p native look on a 4k screen?
