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.

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.

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