    There is no need for anything over 1080p, except if you want to pay much more for little improvement.

    At work, everybody has 1080p monitors (2 of them) and I don't see anyone complaining about anything.

    1440p and 2160p is mostly useless elitism.

    I suggest a visit to the local opticians.

    I have been using various 4k monitors since 2015 and I wish we had 8k as 2160 is still too blurry. 1080 is a joke, barely good enough for watching low quality video and absolutely useless for web, graphics or text.

    That's why 2/3 of the gamers on the Steam hardware survey use 1080p monitors or less...

    If you need more than a 1080p to read text or use Excel or Word, it is you that badly need spectacles.

    In the last 20 years, in the various companies I worked in, I always used 1080p monitors and never once thought I was hindered by it. I never even thought about needing higher resolution.

    You are not the vanguard. You are a whale that is accustomed to paying. One whose noise is whining about Nvidia.

    My computer is hooked to an LG G3 TV and I game at 2160P minimum....I don't care what most people surveyed use it looks like garbage and its time we stop accepting mediocrity to get by...I also find it hard to believe most people on steam use 1080P when consoles put out much higher than that these days and PCs have been capable for a longer time.

    If we were to stop accepting mediocrity, you should start looking beyond the square meter around you, you know, for not to be cancelled or stuff.

    pretty fair price for a 165 hz monitor with a 3 month subscription to adobe cc. only thing ill say is that asus might possibly stiff you when it comes to repairs, but other than that, its a pretty good option on a crazy market.
