1440p rendered in 1080p

[Aquation]

Hello,
If I render 1440p in 1080p will it look like 1080p or better.

Thanks,

This depends on your scaler. A general rule for LCD type panels is to run at native resolution because it gives the best image quality.

If you are talking about DSR(rendering 2560 x 1440 on a 1920 x 1080 creen) or similar super scaling, give it a go and see how it look to you.

It will look allot better and sharper if your card can support it, If you don't look too carefully or don't have past experience it will look close to real 1440p (close not actual).

Hello,
I'm not talking about DSR. I'm taking about if I record a video on my 1440p screen at 1440p then render the video at 1080p, will it look better then regular 1080p the same or worse?

Thanks,

This topic deserve a look in allot more debt here is a video for that:

its about 4k but explains 1440p too

4 could would have a better chance since it can average every 4 pixels into one.

Again this depends on the re sample you are using for your videos. Why not just stick with 2560 x 1440 and let the video player do any required scaling?

What's going to happen is that you're essentially removing/cropping ~50% of the image. This is great for reframing shots, but no, it doesn't quite work like that as far as editing is concerned.

That's related to YouTube being the bottleneck of 4k content.

Just like the jump from SD to HD, the real noticeable and interesting improvements as far as picture quality is concerned, is the amount of colors the content creators are able to use.

Just compare 4k blu ray to 4k Netflix, that's basically what's going on in the YouTube video, compression, compression, compression.

Hello,
So it will look worse?

It'll look the same with the ability to reframe. The problem is that recording things like game play, and then using this technique, is a bad idea! You'll be zoomed in but you'll be able to again, reframe. Not technically zoomed in, just cropping as I said above.

You're not going to get a game which is Rec709 display Rec2020 if you record at a higher resolution. If you're going to record 1080, then export 1080. Don't complicate things by adding more work for your PC, with no benefit.
