3840x2160 (HUD) vs 2560x1440 (WQHD)

Which one is the best for gaming... also, if I setup 2 WQHD monitors can I play at 4k resolution? I'm thinking about dual ips monitors with 144Hz and G-Sync technology

4K produces the best picture quality. If your hardware can handle it. It is a great way to game. Although 1440p monitors can offer a higher refresh rate. There is no better. It is a matter of preference. High FPS or high detail. I prefer detail. As long as I can hit 40+ FPS.

As for gaming on two monitors. It is not recommended. Since you have the bezels right in the middle of the game. It wouldn’t be considered 4K. At least what people think of as 4K in general.

If you mean a separate 4K in the middle of two 1440. Sure, you can use that for 4K gaming. Although in day to day use. It’s distracting having one monitor which is a separate size or resolution than the others.

Hi!

Forget those monitors and buy the ASUS ROG SWIFT PG348Q or similar.
I own one and it has been the best decision I could've ever made.
34", curved, ultrawide, 100 Hz, 3440x1440 resolution and GSync. It's perfect.

What kinds of games will you play?
What is your graphics card?
What is your budget?

I do not think there are many games that will handle 2 monitors well.
I think you are better off looking for one of the new wide screen units which can be very immersive.
In particular, larger ones with a curve.

If you favor fast action shooters, you may have to give up on image quality for a faster display.
At a 4k resolution, you may be hard pressed to go past 60 fps, even with a GTX1080ti.

For mmo, sims, and strategy games, a wide ips monitor is good, and even the usual 60hz panel will do just fine.

If your graphics card is a newer nvidia unit, then you can use g.sync.
That synchronizes the graphics rendering rate with the capability of the monitor.
That eliminates tearing and improves responsiveness. But adding g.sync to a monitor increases cost.
The use of other adaptive sync capabilities works about as well so I do not see g.sync as a necessity.

Many monitors offer freesync support, a amd implementation that acts similarly.
But, today, amd does not seem to have the power in their top cards to do 4k well.
Freesync monitors work perfectly well with nvidia cards.

Research well, and bust your budget if you need to.
A great monitor will be with you for a long time.
