I just got a 1440p monitor and was ready to see games looking crisper than ever, while some do some look like garbage.
In Resident Evil 7 and Dishonored DotO, there is no option for 1440p and it automatically has the res changed to like 720p or something much lower, making all the lettering look like trash.
In Dying light though, I can use 1080p or 1440p and they both look excellent.

Is this seriously a trade off you have to make? What resolution should I be using if 1440p is not an option?

You didn't mention what graphics card you are using or cable you are connecting between computer and monitor.

If something is terribly wrong like you are using Windows Compatibility GPU drivers you wouldn't have those higher graphics options for instance.

Older games and console ports also have limited resolution and aspect ratio options.
