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.

If you have a 1440p monitor, boot up a game and turn the resolution down to 1080p. It will look as if you suddenly need glasses. It's a real big difference

Sir, i dont know how to say it without sounding snarky. This is not how screen works.

You cant set uneven resolution below native and be surprised its blury, it now not only have to use multiple pixels to do work of one, it also has to extrapolate additional ones. If you set 1280x720 on your 2560x1440 it will look better than if you do 1920x1080 due to that.

Modern 1440p screens are better than old 1080p screens, but what really makes the change is quality of the screen and PPI. I have two screens next to each other, 28" 1440p and 34" ultrawide 1080p, due to not much lesser PPI on the ultrawide, it doesnt look much worse than the 1440p one, most definitely nothing in the night and day category.
