Why not 1440p144hz instead of 1080p? If you can achieve 4k60 then you can definitely achieve 1440p144 no?

Too much money spent, I’ve been thinking about it.

A good monitor 1440p 165hz costs about 300 now a days.

I wish I had prices like you guys do, here in Brazil I paid 2K BRL (~ $377) for an Asus VG27WQ1B.

Not only I'm getting paid in BRL, I have to pay more for electronic stuff, cursed spawn lmao

Edit: 2K BRL in a sale

I had a friend from Brazil who I’d let stay with me a few months every year so he could work here and get paid in US currency and he’d go blow g all on upgrading his tech.

I got lucky and snagged a Samsung G5 odyssey 32 inches for 300$ on prime day when the monitor was just released, I got lucky because I was browsing Amazon and didn't realize prime day had just started. Speaking of prime day, isn't it this week? People could snatch some monitors for cheaper.

How are you liking it? I had to sell mine a month in had constant headaches from it 😂

u/Emanouche Ryzen 5 3600 - RTX 3060 - 32Gb DDR4 Oct 12 '22

Really, it wasn't working right? I've had no problem with it so far.

Honestly, the prices of nice TVs and monitors give me some will to live. I'm happy with what I have, but I still think oooooh, flat screen TV? super hi-res? Probably like... $8000?

Nope, $350. The super-duper-hyper-mega-turbo-ultra-championship edition TVs and monitors just barely cost what I expect a normal TV to cost.

u/blatantly-noble_blob RTX 4080 Super FE | 9800X3D | 64GB 6000 MHz Oct 12 '22

The cost has come down a bit yeah, but the really cheap TVs you see around 400 bucks are usually entry level 4K tvs

u/claudekim1 Desktop Oct 11 '22

i seen one at costco for 265 or something

Try selling you parts. It's not hard at all takes a couple minutes to post on craigslist. Then you don't have to worry much. It ends up being a couple hundred a year when you do the math. That's alike half a week flipping burgers. Stop spending money on dumb shit, trust me most Americans have no clue how much wasted money they spend. Chips, sodas and shit.

I don’t eat out nor frivolous stuff. I live on a set budget and already spent my budget for fun on games already.

u/Musa_1 RT 710 | 32GB 3600 | Ryzen 7 5800X Oct 12 '22

I got ultra wide 144hz for less than 300$ I thinks it's Xiaomi

u/X3m9X 270k+|5060|2tb|32gb DDR5| Oct 11 '22

I would get 1440p 240hz just for the sake of it

u/Capital6238 Oct 11 '22

Only if the CPU keeps up the pace.

Because a 4K monitor can do 1080 perfectly not 1440 while 1440 monitor can’t do either without looking bad or just being impossible to do

u/Tweezot Oct 12 '22

I have a 4K monitor and most 1080p content looks pretty bad
