I've been thinking about buying a monitor to use with my laptop, but I can't decide if 1080p is enough or if I should go for a 1440p monitor.
My laptop isn't that powerfull, it has a quad-core i7 and a nvidia GT740M, so I will have to downscale to 720p to play games will that affect anything? ( my laptop's screen has a resolution of 1366x768)
It might sound stupid to buy a 1440p monitor if my laptop can't handle it, but I work a lot with coding and one thing that annoys me a lot in my laptop's screen is that it can't fit that much stuff, and sooner or later I will build a pc capable of 1440p or even 4K and my idea was to instead of buying everything at once I can buy now the peripherals, wich is something that I can use while I don't have the pc, and then I just have to buy the pc.
I've been thinking in an IPS monitor between 24" and 27", preferebly with VESA mount so I can buy a clamp monitor arm, since my desk space is limited. I will put a list of monitors below so you can tell me your opinion about them and suggest another ones.
Dell S2415H - 180€
Dell Ultrasharp U2414H - 250€
Asus VX24AH - 300€
Dell UltraSharp U2515H - 350€
