[SOLVED] 1440p - not for gaming

[romanon]

Hello!
If I don't game much, but I want a sharp monitor for
text (Word, coding, notepad),
browsing, and
watching 1080p movies and Youtube

Will i benefit from a 1440p monitor, or will it cause more trouble than benefit?

(I don't want a 4K monitor as I like high refresh rate for daily Windows use)

Help will be much appreciated!!!

well.. it will obviously help.

For desktop use you can run any resolution with no problem.
and it will be sharper.

sidenote: why do you like high refresh rate for desktop use? thats.. kinda weird.

Thanks I am worried about the imperfect up-scaling issues I have been reading about. Did I not understand it correctly? As the resolutions are not dividable (to an integer).

About the high refresh rate (my laptop), it feels very smooth when going back to 60Hz now, so I am just accustomed to high refresh rate smoothness now.

The bad scaling is of windows items. like icons and the menu tray, application size on opening and such from my knowledge.

Thanks I tried a QHD Viewsonic non gaming monitor at work, 1080p Youtube looked completely OK to my eyes

I got a 27" 1440p monitor for productivity (Word, Coding, Browsing, Youtube) not for gaming, and I LOVE it.
I got a Dell last Thanksgiving for around $240. Unfortunately the price on that monitor has increased to almost $400.
But I love the monitor and use it for working form home. And watching youtube.
