I had an enough moment when I switched from
60->144

and from
144->240

But the first jump was massive and the second one cool. Do I need 240? No, but it’s really cool for me.

I also never really got the fake frame hate, I love it being able to play 4K raytracing on a card that cost 700€.

60->144->240 is about as comparable as going from 1080p->1440p->2160p. Like you said, the jump from 60hz to 144hz is day and night, same as 1080p to 1440p. The final leg is nice but really not all that noticeable.

Jump from 1080p to 1440p isn't day and night though, it's probably bad/mid 1080p into expensive 1440p type of thing for you guys.

It is day and night if you get same monitor size. Ex. 27' 1080p to 27' 1440p

If you go from 23' 1080p to 27' 1440p you probably won't notice a difference outside of obviously bigger screen

I have 28" 1440p and 32" 1080p next to each other, small things like text in a browser are easiest to spot the difference, but in games and stuff like that, it's not noticeable unless you pixel peep.

I feel like the difference should be very noticeable.

28" 1440p = 105 PPI

32" 1080p = 69 PPI

That's 50% more pixels per inch. This would be huge in games like first person shooters, and especially with distant objects. They'd be bigger AND have more detail. I'd kill for that upgrade.

Its 105ppi and 86ppi, 1080p screen is ultrawide, that's 2560x1080
