Hi, I wonder if any experienced PC (laptop) users can help me. After I retired last year, I got myself an ASUS G513R laptop with RTX 3080, 16 Gb RAM and 1 TB NVMe SSD. And after spending a couple of weeks at my brother-in-law's place, using his ACER 27" monitor as an external monitor, I decide to get myself one. Since I don't have much experience with laptop, I didn't take notice of the connectors offered by the laptop at purchase. After spending days of reading, eventually I got help here at Tom's Hardware. Someone advised me to get a USB-c to DisplayPort cable but make sure it is DUAL communication. And finally, I could play Black Myth - Wukong at 2K, running at an FPS of 74 on average.
Now, I have spent a few weeks, at least 3 weeks reading and searching. I found myself a lttle confused. Well, I have decided not to go for a 32" monitor as I cannot really see the edge area of the screen. So, I have decided to go for 27" IPS with G-Sync or adaptive Sync. What is confusing me is that for those 27" 4k monitors, from the users' comments, it seems to me that they cannot display in 2k or if so, it will be poor quality. I would be most grateful if someone can confirm this info for me. I assume that if a monitor can display higher resolution, it should have no problem displaying a lower one.
I am currently looking at ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCG and ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCS. On ASUS website, only thing mentioned about the resolution is 3840x2160, nothing about lower resolution with the UCS but with the UCG, it says 3840x2160 at 165hz and 1920x1080 at 320 hz, but nothing about 2560x1440 in both cases. Does that mean that I would not be able to choose the 2k resolution? Many many thanks in advance for your help. Thanks.
Regards,
Alex
