Question Discussion about playing in a different resolution (1440) on a 4K LG TV

[djxgam1ng]

How can I play a PC game at 1440 on my LG C4 (42 inch)….I don’t want to run at 1080 but the spec sheet requires I have a better GPU (have 3090) to push 4K (4070 or 4080). Any suggestions?

I have LG C1 and 1440p scales well. I just change resolution in game. C4 be no different I'd imagine?

If 1440p resolution isn't selectable ingame then that might have something to do with resolution set in Windows. Use Nvidia control panel to select 4k under PC resolution list instead of TV.

If you have a nv card use integer scaling in the nvcp. It basically plays the lower resolution game at 4k without image processing preserving the original detail at 1440. Just pick the resolution you want in game and before you start it, go into your nvcp and change the scaling to integer on the gpu.

Force the resolution and hz through the OS and make sure that ultra hd deep color is set on the TV settings for the particular HDMI port you are using (not sure if this is needed in c4 model but it is in the older models). I'd suggest also having the TV in game mode.
